Preventing Secondary Damage Is Possible When SERVPRO Manages Flood Restoration at Your Property
Things are usually in disarray in the aftermath of a flooding incident. It is easy to miss or overlook some important actions in your haste to salvage personal items. An effective response should be timely and take a holistic approach rather than focusing on individual items within your Clearwater home.
Flood damage in your Clearwater home continues to worsen even after the storm subsides. Issues can arise from moisture exposure, high humidity, contaminants, and even structural weakness. Luckily, it is possible to manage such issues, reducing the overall damage by a significant margin. SERVPRO crew chiefs can help evaluate your property to determine actions with the biggest impact, thus prioritizing them before embarking on other restoration processes.
Floor restoration normally involves processes like:
- Water damage repairs
- Water removal services
- Sewage cleanup
Our SERVPRO teams prioritize steps that help protect the entire structure and vulnerable contents. Installing roof tarps and boarding up doors and windows are examples of such processes. If the roof caved in during the storm, we could protect contents by covering them with plastic sheets, thus ensuring no further moisture exposure.
A thorough cleanup is also essential after flooding. The process helps remove physical soils such as mud, silt, or even backed-up sewage. It is also essential in removing harmful chemicals or biohazards deposited in the property by floodwater. Our SERVPRO IICRC-certified technicians utilize various methods, including using chemical agents, physical agitation with rotating brushes, or even pressure washing.
