They Can Call SERVPRO to Perform Storm Flood Damage Restoration in their Clearwater Homes.

A flood is defined as the covering of land that has normally dry by water that has escaped or been released from the typical confines of any river, lake, natural watercourse, or creek, whether modified or altered or any canal reservoir or dam. On the other hand, storm damage refers to flooding caused by rainwater, tornadoes, hail, cyclones, and other similar elements. 

To deal with storm flood damage in Clearwater, it is essential to contact a certified restoration firm like SERVPRO to complete the work. You also need to lodge your claim with your insurance company to send an assessor to your residence. Assessors usually report on their findings that insurers use to decide whether to reject or accept the claim. 

If an assessor cannot assess the damage, they can hire a hydrologist. The report of a hydrologist usually contains information like:

• The path the water took from where it broke its banks to your home.
• Where along the lake, creek, dam, or river, the water broke.
• The amount of rainfall before the banks broke.

SERVPRO offers 5-star storm flood damage restoration and drying services using advanced water extraction equipment. Apart from drying water from flooring and walls, we can check in crawl spaces, walls, and other hard-to-reach areas. Drying such areas requires ventilation. Wicking water slightly on walls close to baseboards is common even if water is not trapped in them. If there is water in the walls, we can remove the baseboards. Baseboards are normally made of wood in homes. To prevent damage when removing the baseboard, our SERVPRO technicians can use claw devices such as hammers, nail pullers, and thin boards to protect the wall.
