One of our technicians using the "Rover" to assist with top-down drying on a water damage in a Columbia County home.

Many homeowners are not prepared for emergency situations let alone when something breaks or leaks. Sure, you may have some money set aside for those situations. Let’s face it though, how many of us would cut those costs if we could? I Thought so!

Did you know that even something as small as a mop bucket being turned over can cause significant damage if the surfaces it reaches are not fully dried properly? Say for instance your washing machine leaks. You think “I’ll just grab some towels.” But what if it has been a very slow drip until it full on sprung a leak? So you think you have saved money by using towels to dry up the floor. However, the drywall, insulation, baseboards, bottom wall plate, sub floor, etc. are still wet. This could lead to bigger more expensive out of pocket costs or insurance claim.
