Even If It Is Only a Few Inches of Water in Your Mango Home, Flood Damage Needs Fast Action

When storms bring unexpected flooding into Mango homes, an inch or less of water may seem like a DIY job. However, suppose the water is not extracted correctly and the area professionally dried. In that case, it can set up the home for secondary damages such as warping of flooring, drywall buckling, and mold.

Flood damage remediation in Mango homes should ideally begin within 48 hours of water entering. Even in small quantities, flood water is automatically a gray water situation. Contacting SERVPRO as soon as possible gives homeowners the highest chance of saving as much of the building materials and possessions as possible. After 48 hours, or if the water contains contaminants such as sewage or toxins, it is designated as a black water flood. Stronger measures for water removal and cleanup are necessary.

SERVPRO technicians are IICRC certified and have certifications in various flood damage restoration science fields. Our technicians have the equipment to pump water from the home quickly; weighted extractors push water from the carpet padding so the subflooring underneath can be adequately dried and prevent secondary damage.

Drying a home is more than setting up fans. SERVPRO technicians know the angles for the air movers make all the difference in how quickly a home can dry in tandem with dehumidifiers. Digital moisture detectors confirm the house has reached optimum levels of dryness, so microbial populations are not an issue after the fact. We dispose of carpeting padding affected by gray water. Carpet and padding compromised by black water are removed from the home for your safety. Furniture can often be dried by raising on blocks for drying and wiping down with an EPA-approved anti-microbial cleaner to kill fungus and bacteria.

Once compromised materials have been removed and the area dried, the odor in the home usually diminishes greatly. SERVPRO technicians are certified in odor control and have numerous resources to disinfect and deodorize your home.
