Water Removal
SERVPRO restorers can use state-of-the-art extraction equipment to remove floodwater from your home. We often use portable extractors to remove the water because we can take them to most areas of an affected building. This stage's goal is to prevent further damage that can happen because of mold or corrosion.
Controlled Demolition
Our goal is to dry your home with minimal demolition. When necessary, we can remove damaged flooring, drywall, and other materials down to the studs. We know that it is easy for contaminants to get dislodged or aerosolized during demolition and travel to unaffected areas through the air. We use proper engineering controls like establishing negative pressure and building containment to reduce this cross-contamination. Erecting or building containment involves using 6-mil polyethylene plastic to seal off the openings or doorways of affected areas.
Dry out
After water cleanup, we thoroughly dry a house before attempting any repair or rebuilding. Drying helps prevent structural water damage and mold growth. Our SERVPRO team can use high-powered air movers and dehumidifiers to dry your home quickly.
Sanitization
Floodwater is blackwater and may contain bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and sewage. Our SERVPRO technicians can use EPA-approved antimicrobial products to decontaminate all affected areas.
Deodorization
Our crew can use ultra-low volume (ULV) foggers to dispense solvent-based and water-based deodorants into your home. The foggers generate small particles that penetrate most areas where odors can hide.
