Flooding happens fast and brings contaminants into your home. Our team is always on call to handle any scope of storm damage.

Contaminated Flood Waters Pose Health Risks for Pearl River Homes

Taking care of your Pearl River residence after a disaster can feel overwhelming. With so many of the effects from a situation like flooding requiring the skills of experienced professional restorers, securing this assistance as quickly as possible is critical to getting your home back to its preloss condition promptly. With widespread flooding throughout our service area, many homes and their structural elements fall victim to contaminants or hazards present in the invading water affecting their property.

While overcoming the flood damage in your Pearl River home alone can require professional restoration services, overcoming potential contamination and biohazards pose a greater risk to your property and its occupants. Our SERVPRO professionals have experience in flood damage cleanup and the appropriate safety precautions to take when addressing the pooling water and the debris or substances it might contain.

Our experienced technicians undergo extensive training in the use of personal protective equipment to ensure the safety of our team and the ongoing safety of other non-employees that could be entering or exiting the home during the restoration process. Our process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the property to determine the full extent of the damage and the equipment necessary to clean, disinfect, restore, and rebuild the house as efficiently as possible.

In these situations, many materials in the affected areas of your home must get removed and replaced. Carpets, their subflooring, and the base of drywall structures often take the brunt of the flood damage. Once the carpets and padding have been removed, our SERVPRO technicians can work efficiently with our air movers and dehumidifiers to dry out these saturated elements and prevent further demolition. Drywall most often has to be removed to the point that it is no longer saturated. The assessment of where flood cuts must be made is decided when our professionals assess the damaged property initially but can be changed as the work continues.
