SERVPRO Provides Help with Cleanup and Repair of Damage from Water Leaks in Hockessin

Hockessin began as a small village in 1688 after several families settled there. Initially named “Occasion” in 1734, later on as Mill Creek Hundred, Hockessin became popular sometime in the 1800’s. There are many buildings that are registered in the National Register of Historic Places, including the Coffee Run Mission Site, Public School No. 29, and the Hockessin Meeting House.  

Water damage occurs in Hockessin homes and historic buildings. In both situations SERVPRO® technicians respond in less than four hours from your initial call, assess the impact of water in your home or building, and initiate mitigation activities to control and remove water and moisture. High moisture levels caused by leaks around windows or from plumbing systems can quickly lead to mold infestations and degradation of contents and structures.

Once SERVPRO has inspected and assessed the water damage, we initiate the following activities based on the circumstances:

• Extract all water using high-capacity pumps and specialized tools to reach inside walls and crevices.
• High humidity levels are lowered using dehumidifiers and air movers.
• All surfaces are cleaned and sanitized
• Our team completes repairs as needed, including drywall, carpet replacement, and more.
• We work closely with the homeowner and their insurance company at all stages to provide the details required to support insurance claims.
• Historic buildings often require specialized repair and restoration processes. Our team coordinates with managers of historic properties to ensure that the building is returned to its original condition.

Many clients immediately enter the affected area to fix plumbing leaks, rescue contents, and mop water. Always be aware of hazards such as live electrical circuits, slips and falls, and contaminated water. Let the experts at SERVPRO manage these safety issues and keep you and your family safe.
