Property Owners Should Hire an Experienced Firm Like SERVPRO to Handle Flood Damage in their Riverview Home
When your home requires restoration after a storm, you need to take several steps to restore it to its preloss state. A storm and the associated flooding can affect your home immensely, and you need to hire a restoration firm like SERVPRO. We are a respected flood restoration firm with the equipment and workforce to bring things back to normal.
We know how to save homes affected by storm flood damage in Riverview. Floodwater can ruin carpets, walls, fabric, and wood. It can also cause bacterial contamination. Having the situation fixed as quickly as possible is essential. SERVPRO can assist you in restoring your residence by doing the following:
- Inspection
- Removing debris
- Water removal
- Drying
Inspection
We can visually inspect the affected structures and contents and use non-penetrating moisture meters to find the moisture content of materials. These devices allow our technicians to determine if a structure is dry. They have sensors that produce readings when placed on a material’s surface.
Debris removal
This involves removing items that the storm and floodwater might have brought into your home, like sand, stones, leaves, and branches.
Water removal
Our SERVPRO water restoration technicians (WRT) can use portable pumps to extract water from your flooded home. Removing water physically is 1200 times more efficient than dehumidification. We spend enough time extracting the water.
Drying
Our SERVPRO technicians can use various ventilating or drying systems to direct airflow into wall cavities, to replace moist air with dry air. Some of the systems we use have vents that our technicians attach to air movers. Our technicians can direct air under cabinets, wall cavities, and other structural cavities by drilling small holes in the toe kicks under cabinets or walls and attaching the right drying system. We can also dry your home using specialty drying equipment designed to dry cavities.
