Even Without Power SERVPRO has the Tools to Remove Water Damage

After devastating hurricanes like Michael, and even the effects that Dorian had to Brandon homes, there were many properties without power for extended periods. As a premier storm response team in the state, our SERVPRO professionals prepare for this inevitable loss by providing active job sites with temporary portable power solutions.

Water damage to Brandon homes after a hurricane or other severe weather event can sometimes feel insurmountable and overwhelming for the customer. We strive to help clients understand the restoration process and what steps get taken to return a damaged home to its original condition. When flooding has occurred, we must determine contamination levels and identify which areas can get preserved. If contamination has not become deemed a category 3 – black water – loss, they may be salvable. No matter how contents and structural elements have become affected in your residence, extraction and recovery are necessary for flood emergencies.

We understand that severe weather events have high winds and destructive force to knock over utility poles or damage substations. Many of these powerful storm systems can disable electric services to homes and businesses for several days – sometimes even longer. We prepare for this possibility by keeping a range of portable power solutions in our inventory, including fuel-driven generators. Depending on the size of the affected area, we might require the higher output trailered generator option in our Green Fleet.

These portable power solutions have enough strength and output to run our highest-efficiency extraction machines for interior recovery. In addition to utilizing the electric pumps we have, secondary options are also useful when no power is available in the house, such as our gas-powered trash pumps and our engine-driven extractor trucks. Both of these run off of fuel sources to function, making them powerful extraction tools while the neighborhood waits for the return of electricity.

The loss of electricity might slow other teams down, but our SERVPRO of Brandon / North Riverview crew of qualified professionals is ready for whatever disaster strikes the area. Let us show you that We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster, and we have the tools to help nearly any scenario. Give us a call anytime at (813) 741-3473.
