Water Damage at the Oral Surgeons office

Bubbling walls

At SERVPRO of Palm springs we encounter both residential and commercial projects.

The photo that we have provided is of the latter, it is a picture of an oral surgeon’s office that has been affected by a leak behind the walls. This leak usually manifests itself by causing the paint, normally latex based, to separate from the drywall. This creates large patches of bubbles, where the paint actually starts to slough off of the wall.

We were able to locate the source of the leak, stop the water flow and then remove the affected material. This required setting up containment in the exam room and placing drying equipment as well.

Once we had it dried down we then were able to replace any demoed material and get the office space back in to use.

We understand that owners have a business to run and that the sooner they get things back to normal the better.
