Flood Damage Restoration In Your Brandon Home

Flooding is the most common natural disasters in the U.S., occurring across the country. Anyone, however, living in lower elevations than a nearby body of water such as an ocean, stream or lake, or especially at risk. Being prepared for the possibility of flooding in Brandon is the best way to keep you and your family safe.

When you’re dealing with flood damage in your Brandon home as some severe storms, you want to dry and clean your home as quickly as possible. For this, you need the help of someone who knows their way around flood damage restoration, such as SERVPRO. As a professionally trained remediation company, we waste no time getting to you when you call for help. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.

Floods can happen in various ways. The most commonly seen is when the ground in the area can’t absorb the rainfall when debris is blocking a waterway, seawater is pushed inland during a storm by strong winds, or when a human-made structure fails, such as a sewer or dam.

When hardwood flooring is present in your home, SERVPRO staff’s drying strategy focuses on the prevention of cupping, buckling, or warping from becoming permanent. How long the water was on the floor determines the effect of the water on the flooring. Cupping and warping, if not severe, can be taken out by sanding as part of our process of refinishing.

Usually, we cannot refinish a hardwood floor until the moisture content level is stabilized to an equilibrium moisture content under twelve percent. It can take a couple of months for your hardwood floor to acclimate before they are ready to be sanded and refinished. If done beforehand, they can crown or cup as drying continues.

When you have a flood warning in your area, the best thing to do is to leave the area if possible. You can prepare your home before going by letting authorities know you’re going to a safer place, moving valuables and electronics to higher areas such as the second floor, countertops, or beds, and using a waterproof container to store any vital medical supplies and documents.
