If your house suffers flood damage, mold damage can occur from that. Call the professionals at SERVPRO today for remediation assistance.

A Hurricane From the Gulf of Mexico Can Cause Flood Damage to Your Brandon Home

Hurricanes are severe storms that form out at sea and can cause serious flood damage to cities, towns, and the residences inside both. Living in Florida makes hurricanes somewhat expected among the locals. Every year there is a significant portion of the year where hurricanes are expected to run amuck onshore. Hurricane season begins in June, but the most dangerous time of the season is now; mid-August to late-October. It is not always possible to be prepared when a storm hits. Hurricanes can take sudden turns when gaining speed and hit other cities unexpectedly. What is essential is to be reactionary. 

Calling for help as soon as the flood damage hits your Brandon home is utterly imperative for the longevity of your house. The longer that water sits inside of the building, especially around the structure, the more time it has to soak into the organic material and rust metal. Furthermore, as mold spores are exposed to moisture, they are allowed to activate and grow into a colony. To avoid excessive damages, call for help immediately, and lower the cost of the remediation itself. 

At SERVPRO, we specialize in remediating water damage of any kind. Whenever flood damage hits your home, disastrous or diminutive, call for our help, and we can arrive within hours. Our technicians are excellently trained and have been certified by the Institution of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration (IICRC.) Furthermore, many of our technicians are Florida natives and understand what you are going through. We can provide you with excellent service using advanced technology, as well as compassion for your situation, making SERVPRO feel like a friend you can rely upon. 

Despite the nature of the hurricane that hit your city, your home stood up well against the storm. Only the living room/dining room of your split-level home suffered flood damage. Our water damage restoration technicians (WRT) can get to work immediately after doing an investigation and start with removing the still water from inside, using wet/dry vacuums and rover-mounted extractors. 

Once the water has been removed, we can make flood-cuts to the walls and then set up drying equipment, to help draw out excess moisture from the structure. Finally, once your house is adequately dry, SERVPRO can administer an antifungal agent to ensure that mold growth does not occur. 

If your home suffers flood damage from a hurricane, never wait to get help. Get in contact with SERVPRO of Brandon / North Riverview by dialing (813) 741-3473. We're here for you, no matter the size of the damage.
