Leaks are bad. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that. But I feel like it bears repeating. Leaks are bad. Whether it's an air mattress, a fuel line in a car, a gas line in a house, or a pip in business in Neptune, New Jersey, all leaks are inherently bad. This leak was no different than the rest. I pipe sprung a leak and that leak cause some water damage to the drywall and flooring in this establishment. Since time is always of the essence when it comes to water damage, SERVPRO of Howell/Wall went right over to start mitigation services. Everything was dried effectively and efficiently and the staff was grateful there was no interruption to business while we did the work.

Pipes break at the worst times. I'm sure there's some research to prove that, but you'll just have to take my word for it now. It's a Murphy's Law kind of thing. Whenever one things starts to go wrong, everything else follows suit. Annoying, right? That's what happened in this photo. A pipe sprung a lovely leak between two businesses in Howell, NJ. This particular business wanted us to do the mitigation. So off SERVPRO of Howell/Wall went to get everything taken care of so there would be no disruption in business for this company. Everything was effectively and efficiently dried and the staff was happy to be fully back in business.

Water damage in your own home is pretty awful, if we're being honest. Water damage at a care facility is even worse. Water damage, if severe enough, can definitely displace you. Imagine having care patients displaced. That's far from an ideal situation. When SERVPRO of Howell/Wall got the call to come into a care facility to start water mitigation, we raced right over knowing full well that time was of the essence. Our team immediately got to work drying the affected areas. We worked diligently to ensure patients were not displaced during our time working. The facility was pleased with the work we did and how quickly we got the job done.

Busy days at the office can be frustrating. So much to do in so little time. We've all been there, right? What can make a busy day even more frustrating is rainwater coming in through the front door. Storms can cause quite a bit of havoc. In this case, it caused some unpleasant water damage for this office in Howell, New Jersey. SERVPRO of Howell/Wall came in to extract all of the water, and clean and dry the affected carpet. We got this office operating at full efficiency in no time, much to the delight of the office staff and owner.

Carpet is a wonderful thing. It cushions you as you walk, it helps maintain heat, and it looks pretty. But sometimes people don't take care of their carpeting and it needs to be cleaned and deodorized. Because no one wants dirty carpeting. This photo is from a local non-profit that needed some carpets cleaned for some of the onsite housing they provide. They were between residents and wanted the carpets cleaned before new residents moved in. SERVPRO of Howell/Wall jumped in to clean and deodorize the carpets to help make the houses look practically brand new for their new residents.

Fire sprinkler systems can save lives. They can also cause damage when they break and spray water all over the place when there isn't a fire currently happening. That's the case in this photo of a school in Marlboro, New Jersey. The fire sprinkler broke off and water started to pour out of it all over the school. Which was terribly inconvenient for the students and faculty. SERVPRO of Howell/Wall came rushing over to see what we could do to help. Once the sprinkler was shut off, we proceeded to extract the water and place drying equipment. The school was pleased with how efficiently and unobtrusively we completed the job. We were glad to help in any way we could.

I don't know about you, but high school was pretty hard. All those tests and papers and worrying about getting into college. Those four years weren't the easiest. Having a water loss in the main office probably would have made it worse. At least for the teachers. SERVPRO of Howell/Wall was called out to a high school in Belmar, NJ. Due to a pipe leak, there was some wet carpet in the main office that needed to be addressed. Our team of certified technicians jumped in to save the day. And save the carpet. Water was extracted, equipment was placed, and everything was dried. The administration was pleased with the services we provided and how unobtrusive we tried to be during the drying process.

As an adult, there are times when I envy little kids. Especially at fast food restaurants that have indoor playgrounds. Those playgrounds are fun. But they also get dirty very quickly. All those kids climbing all over the equipment can leave smudges and streaks. And no one wants to play on smudged equipment. SERPVRO of Howell/Wall was called in to thoroughly clean some indoor playground equipment at a fast food restaurant in Howell, New Jersey. Our trained technicians thoroughly scrubbed and disinfected the playground equipment, leaving the general manager very pleased with the results. At SERVPRO Howell/Wall we don't just handle water, fire, or mold damage. We clean, too.

Sometimes water happens. That's how the saying goes, right? No? Oh, well it's true nonetheless. As you can see in this photo, water can cause some unwanted problems. Water can also be incredibly annoying. Especially when a business is involved. Our certified technicians handled this loss like the consummate professionals they are. They walked right in and told that water who's the boss. The water was extracted, everything was dried, and this business could then carry on as if it never even happened. So, yes, sometimes water can happen. But that is what we're here for.
