SERVPRO Provides the Skills, Equipment, and Other Resources Needed to Ease the Restoration

The chance of your home being totaled by a flooding incident is high. Even if the structure is left standing, the interior may sustain massive damages. Whether you manage to restore your Brandon home to its preloss condition depends on the resources you commit to the process.

Involving a professional is one way to eliminate guesswork when restoring flood damage at your Brandon home. SERVPRO helps evaluate the immediate and long-term effects from water intrusion, build-up of contaminants, and any changes to the structural supports. 

Evaluating Flood Damage Requires Advanced Equipment, Including:

• Various moisture evaluation equipment like thermal cameras and thermos-hygrometers
• Contact and non-contact electric circuit checkers
• Contamination testers such as luminometers

The evaluation is only useful if there are sufficient resources to fix the identified issues. SERVPRO sends IICRC certified technicians to help fix the damages. Our crews can counter moisture effects by fast-tracking water extraction and humidity management. 

The Most Valuable Equipment for Moisture Management Include:

• Specialized pumps such as truck-mounted and trash pumps for faster extraction
• Desiccant and LGR dehumidifiers for humidity control
• Centrifugal and axial air movers for faster drying of materials

Apart from handling moisture, cleaning all the affected areas in your home is essential to remove soils, contamination, and odors. Cleaning requires equipment and chemical agents. Our SERVPRO crews use various cleaning agents, including biocides and detergents, for cleaning. We also use devices such as pressure washers and rotary equipment to facilitate cleaning.
