How Can I Restore My Home After A Flood?

6/17/2020 (Permalink)

Flooding can quickly damage your home. Contact SERVPRO for water removal and remediation efforts.

Bring in SERVPRO to Return your Home to a Clean, Safe Condition.

Any water spilled across your home can cause problems. Flood water is especially damaging since it contains a bit of everything it flowed over before entering your home. These contaminants increase the amount of damage, making quick removal far more critical. 

How fast can you start restoring my home?

After a thorough inspection of your home in Brockton, flood damage restoration begins immediately. We start with equipment that enables us to quickly remove standing water and detect where it is trapped in your home’s structure.

• Submersible pumps that can operate continuously using one of our portable generators if your home’s electrical power is out or compromised by the flood.
• Portable extraction devices that carefully draw water off your floors and out of the carpets without damaging them. 
• Heat-sensitive digital cameras that detect water trapped behind ceilings, walls, and under flooring. 
• Humidity and moisture detectors that determine if the water content in the air and surrounding items is too high for comfort and allows property like drywall to deteriorate or let mold to begin growing. 

Can you restore everything?

With outside flooding, the answer is no. Our teams cannot guarantee the safety of carpets, even after a thorough cleaning. The only safe method to support your home is for our technicians to remove the carpeting and carpet pads for immediate disposal. Fortunately, the anti-bacterial cleaners we use are very effective on any flooring underneath them. 

What if there is physical damage from the flood, like damaged walls and doors?

SERVPRO response teams also perform emergency tasks when needed. This includes boarding up doors and windows, packing out personal property, and sandbagging to protect damaged walls if there is a threat from more flooding or storms.
