Crawlspace Sewage Leaks can be Hard to Detect

5/16/2019 (Permalink)

Ready for any crawlspace sewage disaster!

It can be very difficult to detect a sewage pipe leak or burst in your crawlspace. When a sewage pipe leaks or bursts under someone's home, more often than not the tenants of the home do not notice any issue until considerable damage has been done.

Detection often occurs through:

• Signs of a foul odor in the home with no obvious source.
• Mold developing near and around the flooring and crawlspace.
• Flooring and Floorboards starting to bend, deform, or bloat. 
• Clogged toilets or sinks.

Being one of the most difficult cleaning services that we do, our SERVPRO technicians have to wear fully sealed containment suits and manually clear out all liquid and waste material from the crawlspace before cleaning, drying, and remediation can begin. Regardless, here at SERVPRO of Hollywood Hills/Los Feliz are ready to quickly and efficiently service your home or business.
