Getting Out of the Shower? Dry Off Completely!

3/9/2022 (Permalink)

Water damage caused by excess water Over time, getting out of the shower without drying off completely can cause unseen water damage.

SERVPRO of Glen Burnie cares about the state of your home and business and will always try to provide tips for home and business owners alike that may save your property. Owning property can be stressful and even overwhelming at times. Sometimes, you just want to take a shower and relax. However, taking a shower and fully drying off can lead to damage in your bathroom! 

You might ask how is this possible? Water is relentless and will permeate most surface. When someone does not fully dry off before getting out of the shower, the water that drips off their body can cause damage to the sub floor. This water will find its way below the surface.  

For this simple water damage job, we removed the vanity and flooring after a small leak occurred. Our crew found this small area by the corner of the bathtub that was discolored. This discoloring can be signs of eventual mold or rot to occur. Homeowners unknowingly cause this, and it is a common misfortune we see. Yellow or brown caulk can be a sign of this problem. Something like this constitutes Class 4 water damage as the water has been trapped below the surface for an extended period. Some ways homeowners can prevent this are by fully drying off before getting out of the shower, caulking and resealing the affected area and purchasing a matt to place in front of the shower.  

For more tips on how to prevent damages like this, check out the rest of our blogs or follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter at SERVPRO of Glen Burnie! If you notice water damage occurring in your home, do not wait, call SERVPRO of Glen Burnie at 410-766-1110.

Talk about the SERVPRO family! Nick Whittles led his team to Houston, TX along with 300 other SERVPRO franchises from all over the country. They worked long hours for three weeks to offer assistance to residents in the Houston area.

Did you know that flood waters are considered biohazardous? The rising water flows through and across many contaminants making it unsafe. That is why when asked, as first responders Nick and his team stepped up to help Texans dry out. Determining exactly what can be saved until everything is dry is difficult, but with the right training and equipment, a professional can restore your home more quickly, safely, and efficiently than you could on your own.

If you are a local victim of flooding, remember that it is important to call in the professionals. Restoration is much more than a simple cleanup of water, and it is a job that should be entrusted to people who are trained and know what they are doing.

SERVPRO of Glen Burnie, conveniently located in Hanover, MD offers 24-hour emergency service, and is a leader in the restoration industry. To learn more or join our team, visit www.SERVPROglenburnie.com or call 410-766-1110.

We Work With Hoarders

messy house full of old toys kitchen utensils We Help Hoarders

According to the Mayo Clinic:

"Hoarding disorder is a persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them. A person with hoarding disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items. Excessive accumulation of items, regardless of actual value, occurs.

Hoarding often creates such cramped living conditions that homes may be filled to capacity, with only narrow pathways winding through stacks of clutter. Countertops, sinks, stoves, desks, stairways and virtually all other surfaces are usually piled with stuff. And when there's no more room inside, the clutter may spread to the garage, vehicles, yard and other storage facilities.

Hoarding ranges from mild to severe. In some cases, hoarding may not have much impact on your life, while in other cases it seriously affects your functioning on a daily basis."

Do you live with a hoarder or have a family member of friend with a hoarding problem?  

SERVPRO of Glen Burnie can help with hoarding cleanup. Do you or someone you know need help with hoarding? Call us at 410-766-1110! We are here to help!
