Water damage can range from unsightly to un-stabilizing; in small amounts over a limited time, it can cause ugly stains that are the limit of the problem. In larger amounts or over longer times, it can destroy the support structures, along with nearly everything else, in your home. If you’ve dealt with water damage in the past, you may have learned that water doesn’t even need that much time to cause significant damage. That’s why it’s best to assume that the worst is always possible, and therefore call for professional help in getting rid of the excess water and remediating the damage. Call our SERVPRO of Mission Valley East office whenever you suspect there is excess water or water damage in your Mission Valley -area home.  

Call us at 619-303-3599. You’ll chat with an ever-awesome team member who will ask questions about the nature and extent of the water; your answers help us figure out how to load our trucks, then we’ll roll out to you as quickly as is safely possible. 

Water Damage is Always Serious 

Even if the water is limited to a small area, there may be more water than you can see; porous materials such as wood, drywall, carpets, carpet pad, and upholstery all absorb water – sometimes upward where you may not think to look for the moisture – and water runs to the lowest point in the home, often below the flooring and out of your reach. 

Besides, if the water and the damage are limited to small areas, calling us right away means that we can arrive in time to prevent the damage from spreading. 

If the water has already soaked a large area, the bad news here is that water damage can get worse. Call us to prevent that from happening. 

Timeline 

Within Minutes: 

• Water quickly spreads throughout your property, saturating everything in its path 
• Anything porous (walls, floors, upholstery, wood, fabrics, insulation, many belongings) absorbs the water 
• Water picks up contaminants from the floor and whatever else it touches (skin cells, animal dander, food, …) 
• If the water is already contaminated (such as from toilets or appliances), it also spreads those contaminants 
• Dyes from furniture and carpets bleed, staining other materials 

• Photographs, books, documents, and other paper starts to swell, shred, and warp 

Hours 1 - 24: 

Drywall and wood swell, shred, break down 

Metal surfaces tarnish 

More dyes start bleeding or breaking down 

Furniture may crack 

Household odors intensify 

After 24 hours to 1 week:  

• Microbial growth (such as mold) grows and spreads, eating an alarming number of items 
• Doors, windows, studs swell and warp 
• Metal begins to rust 

• Paint blisters 

Even if you call us after a week, we’ll be able to help you restore your home. 

Call us anytime.
