Have you ever left home to go to the store or even for a couple of days and come home to a flood? This happens more than you might expect, in fact somewhere in Sarasota flooding is happening right now. More often than not people realize they have a problem pretty quickly. The key is realizing that you may not be able to get all of the water up yourself. It’s best to call the Sarasota Water Extraction Experts at ServiceMaster SRQ to give you an honest answer to this question.
Over the years we have seen just about everything when it comes to removing water. When a main line breaks in a home or office there is no question that they need our help. The same is true if a washing machine or toilet overflows for more than a matter of minutes. We have had customers that thought what a simple malfunction to a dishwasher turn out to be the water line going into the dishwasher breaking. This can be the difference in a problem and a big problem. For instance we had one lady who was running a load of dishes before work; she needed a clean coffee mug I think. She saw some water running out of the bottom of the dishwasher and promptly threw a bath towel down to soak up the water. The dish cycle ended, she got her clean mug with coffee and left for work. By the time she got home and called us she had an inch of water in her Sarasota condo. We rushed to her aid and quickly realized that the problem with the machine was not the machine itself. It was the main line going into the machine and it was broken almost in half. After almost 3 hours of removing water from her floors, removing carpet pad, and placing her furniture on blocks we had time to reflect. She kept saying over and over, I don’t know why didn’t call you guys this morning. The moral of the story is when you think you have a problem it’s better to call and be wrong than come home to a flood.
