Floods can be disastrous to your home or office. From water extraction to mold prevention and cleanup, there’s a lot to handle. Professional flood cleanup services can help you protect your property while keeping everyone safe. Attempting to clean up a flood on your own could lead to worsening damage or even injury and illness. Trained and certified flood damage technicians will have the safety equipment and cleaning techniques needed to ensure your property is dry and safe.
What Falls Under Flood Cleanup Services?
Floods can cause a lot of different damage to your home. Not only do you have standing water to worry about, but you likely have a broken appliance or structural integrity issue as well. Flood cleanup services are designed to be full-service, helping you get your home back to pre-loss condition.
Water Extraction
Before any other work can begin, technicians need to extract the water from your property. To do this, they use specialty pumps that drain the water directly into their trucks for minimal disruption or damage. Water extraction is crucial to perform as soon as the flooding has stopped to prevent the water damage from spreading.
Junk Removal
If the flooding affected any personal objects, your flood cleanup crew will help remove these items from the area. And if the item can be restored, they will take it to a secure location for cleaning and drying. If the item cannot be restored, they will properly remove it for you.
Drying
Even with the standing water removed, there is often still excess moisture in your home. Technicians will set up industry-standard fans and high-power dehumidifiers to help lower the moisture levels in your property. Removing all the moisture is crucial to help prevent mold growth or other water damage conditions.
Cleaning and Sanitizing
Depending on the source of water damage, it’s often crucial to clean and sanitize the area. Floods caused by rainwater or sewage backups can be particularly hazardous and often lead to mold growth. Technicians will clean the affected area and sanitize surfaces to help keep your home safe from mold and mildew.
Reconstruction
Flood damage can often lead to serious issues with your home. Part of a high-quality flood cleanup service includes restoring these damages. From helping you replace broken appliances to resealing doors and windows, your technicians can ensure your home is restored and ready to protect you from further floods.
