Storm floodwater can quickly inundate your residence through the basement, roof, doors, and windows.

- Cleaning and sanitizing
- Deodorization
- Reconstruction
Inspection
An extensive inspection is a crucial part of storm flood damage repair. Our SERVPRO technicians can inspect everything in your home or possible flood damage. We have the tools required to properly detect the extent of flood damage, including moisture meters, moisture sensors, and thermal imaging cameras.
Water extraction and drying
SERVPRO’s professional team can use pumps to extract the floodwater. High humidity in a home can be as damaging as standing water. We can position air movers to deliver fast airflow to damp surfaces, increasing evaporation at the surface level. We can use dehumidifiers to blow dry, warm air into the affected areas.
Cleaning and sanitizing
Floodwaters have several dangerous contaminants and a lot of mud. High-dollar items like electronics can get ruined at once, even with an inch of water. A deeper flood can add damage to costlier systems like heaters and air conditioners, ducts, utilities, well systems, roofing, and the foundation. We can clean the entire area properly and sanitize it using EPA-registered disinfectants.
Deodorization
We can use different deodorization methods to deal with flood damage odors. An example is dispensing solvent-based and water-based deodorizers using ULV foggers. The foggers generate tiny particles or deodorants that penetrate many areas odor particles hide.
Reconstruction
This stage involves repairing walls, pipes, electrical appliances, and floors, among other areas in the house. Our SERVPRO technicians can reconstruct your property to return it to its normal condition or better. We may suggest third-party specialists.
