Water...Why so Finicky?

Water Leak from a Pipe

When we first notice a leak, often time we immediately assume that the source is where the water is currently leaking from. However, water is a very finicky thing; it likes to travel in ways that you might not realize. For instance, if there is a leak in from your bathroom pipe, it might seem that the water would travel by way of the pipe; however, that is not always the case. It could very well end up on the opposite side of the room. In some cases, a leak detector is needed to determine where the source of water is coming form to repair the leak before the area can be dried out. Once the repair is made, it is time for the restoration company to dry out the area. Now when you call SERVPRO® of Rio Rancho and Sandoval County, our crews will not only focus on the main area that is visibly wet; we will also do random checks with our moisture meters to ensure we capture and dry all wet areas.
