Mitigating Fish Tank Water Damage in a Knoxville Home

Fish tank water damage can be stressful to consider, and not just because of how it can affect your pets. The water spilled from a leaking or broken tank contains chemicals, food particles, algae, and organic materials that make this kind of cleanup ill-advised to do on your own. Water with this many contaminants requires professional cleanup from technicians well-versed in dealing with category 3 water disasters. 

If your Knoxville home needs water damage cleanup from a fish tank failure, SERVPRO is always available to mitigate the damage. These technicians use state-of-the-art extraction tools, drying equipment, and extensive sanitation to return your home to its pre-damage state with minimal loss of structural materials or belongings. Restoration techs can also perform replacement services for structural essentials like carpet, drywall, and damaged parts of subflooring so that you can enjoy a clean and functional home once more.

SERVPRO's Water Removal Tools

Water damage requires specially-tailored tools to extract moisture, dry structures and contents, and sanitize and deodorize spaces. Thorough extraction is one of the first steps in the mitigation process but is one of the most essential. Why does extraction matter?

• Thorough extraction means shorter drying times and more successful restoration
• Extraction can take longer, but this process lessens the risk of overworking air movers and dehumidifiers
• Extraction tools like wands are targeted at removing damage from hard-to-reach areas
• Water extraction minimizes secondary water damages 

Your local SERVPRO also works with local organizations like the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce, the Tennessee Association of Plumbing, Heating, Cooling Contractors, the Greater Knoxville Hospitality Association, as well as local Emergency Planning Committees. 

Saving Your Home from Water Damage

A sudden break in your fish tank can lead to massive amounts of black water spillage. SERVPRO technicians address the sanitary concerns of the damage by wiping down affected surfaces with EPA-registered antimicrobials or spraying surfaces with disinfectant depending on the extent of the damage. Furniture, flooring, and baseboards are removed temporarily to clean and dry the structure before reinstallation can begin. 

SERVPRO of Rocky Hill / Sequoyah Hills / South Knoxville provides a mitigation service that keeps your home looking, "Like it never even happened." Call (865) 862-8907 to have a cleanup team at your home in as little as four hours.
