When a major flood strikes, the impact can be overwhelming and devastating. From submerged furniture and damaged appliances to structural compromises, floods can cause both emotional and financial strain. At SERVPRO®, we understand the challenges that flood victims face, and our expert team is ready to respond quickly, with compassion and professionalism, to help you restore your home or business. Here’s how SERVPRO can be your trusted partner in the aftermath of a flood.

Rapid Response and Assessment

Time is critical when dealing with flood damage. The sooner a property is assessed, the better the chances of minimizing long-term damage. SERVPRO’s 24/7 emergency response team is prepared to arrive promptly, providing a comprehensive assessment of the property to determine the extent of water damage. This initial step allows our team to develop a clear action plan and keep you informed at every stage.

Professional Water Extraction and Drying

The most immediate concern after a flood is removing water from the property. SERVPRO utilizes advanced water extraction equipment that removes even large volumes of standing water quickly and efficiently. This is followed by a thorough drying process using industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate residual moisture from floors, walls, and other surfaces. This process helps to reduce the risk of further water damage and prevent mold growth.

Mold Prevention and Remediation

Floodwater and high humidity create the ideal environment for mold to grow within 24 to 48 hours. SERVPRO’s certified technicians are trained in mold remediation and use proven techniques to identify, contain, and remove mold. We also treat affected areas with antimicrobial solutions to prevent future mold growth, ensuring a healthier and safer environment as you rebuild.

Cleaning and Sanitization of Affected Items

Floodwaters often carry contaminants like sewage, chemicals, and debris. SERVPRO’s team cleans and sanitizes all salvageable items, including furniture, clothing, and personal belongings, using specialized cleaning agents and techniques. Our odor removal process eliminates any lingering smells, making your home or business feel fresh and clean again.

Structural Restoration and Reconstruction

In severe flood cases, water damage can compromise the structural integrity of a building. SERVPRO goes beyond basic cleanup by offering reconstruction services to repair damaged walls, floors, and ceilings, helping to bring your property back to its pre-flood condition. Our goal is to streamline the restoration process so you don’t have to coordinate with multiple contractors; SERVPRO is your one-stop solution from start to finish.

Assisting with Insurance Claims

Navigating insurance claims after a flood can be daunting. Our team understands the paperwork and requirements involved in making a claim, and we work closely with insurance companies to ensure that you receive the coverage and assistance you deserve. We document every step of the restoration process, providing photos and reports that make the claims process smoother and more efficient.
