Removing water from small spaces is a job for the professionals. Contact SERVPRO 24/7 for remediation services for your home. We are standing by.

 Slidell homes can have flooded areas challenging for SERVPRO professionals to clean and restore. 

Flooding can be challenging enough to resolve without being in a difficult area to clean and restore. When confined spaces become a home for flood damage, our team must arrive quickly with emergency services to prevent the situation getting worse, such as:

• Board Up
• Tarping
• Water Removal
• Content relocation

Cleaning Up Damaged Attics

Flood damage in Slidell homes varies considerably based on the cause of the water damage and where the house becomes vulnerable. In some situations, attics can be the victim of flood damage when roof damages allow for moisture penetration through shingles, slate, and underlayment materials. Fast action by our SERVPRO team can prevent the migration of this moisture to living spaces beneath the attic.

Crawlspace Flood Damage Cleanup

The crawlspace beneath many local beachfront properties and throughout Slidell can become a mostly unseen flood damage threat. Given that the clearance is rarely more than 4 feet, the area earns its name and complicates flood water removal and cleanup. To reach this damaged area, our professionals rely on various extraction tools like our wet vacuums and truck-mount pumps. Our general contractor license also allows us to provide crawl space encapsulation services to avoid flood damage recurrences moving forward.

Microbial and Pathogenic Threats

Beyond the damage that water itself can do after hours or days of exposure, natural flooding also presents other hazards for the property. Viral and bacterial pathogens are present in flash flooding concerns that impact crawlspaces and the main living levels of homes in the area. Unresolved moisture can promote mold growth too, after only a few days. 

Confined spaces impacted by flood damage present unique obstacles for even seasoned and experienced restoration professionals like our SERVPRO of Slidell team. Providing site-specific tools and machines to overcome standing water and other potential threats is a fast approach to mitigating possible loss. We are available 24/7 at (985) 649-1516.
