What is the Best Way to Handle Storm Flood Damage?

Flood damage restoration is no DIY project. SERVPRO technicians are IICRC certified for any size job necessary.

SERVPRO utilizes a range of methods to restore your Clearwater home after you experience flood damage from a recent storm.

When Clearwater residents have significant rainfall that may lead to flooding, it is essential to react accordingly. Secondary damage becomes costly, especially if it develops into mold and mildew growth. At SERVPRO, our crew works fast to restore your home to pre-flood condition "Like it never even happened."

Regardless of the storm's severity, flood damage in Clearwater can become hazardous if moisture enters the home from the ground. Once our technicians arrive within four hours at your property, we inspect the situation to determine all water entry points. Water from a window generally gets considered Category 2, while most water infiltrating from the ground usually gets deemed Category 3. This water includes a broad spectrum of contaminants and potentially harmful microorganisms.

Some of the steps we take to mitigate and restore include:

• Removal of all affected contents and building materials. Porous items such as carpeting and upholstery may have deep saturation, which often calls for complete removal and replacement. General Contractor License #: CBC-1250662
• Sanitization of all structural wooden components. Our crew can sanitize the wooden studs and subfloors, using agents to kill off viruses, parasites, fungi, and bacteria.
• Drying of affected contents to further move through the restoration process. After antimicrobials get applied to the surface, we work on drying structural elements with dehumidifiers and air movers.
