Water Damage, Las Vegas

Infrared used to locate the wet areas

A broken pipe caused a large amount of water to be spread throughout this home located in Las Vegas.  At the time the homeowner was at work and didn't find out until a few hours later when a neighbor called.  The homeowner called SERVPRO of Southwest Las Vegas to come out and extract the water and start the dry down process.  SERVPRO of Southwest Las Vegas was on site and ready within a half hour.  In the photo shows an infrared, infrareds are great to use when the home has a lot of we areas.  In this case the crew chief was able to mark all the wet areas for the crew to place equipment. Because the infrared only reads temperature the crew chief was able to double verify with the TRIMEX which reads moisture in the wall.  The homeowner saved a lot of money due to the speed and technology SERVPRO of Southwest Las Vegas had.
