Three Phases Clifton Residents should consider for Flood Damage Restoration

Flash flooding can be devastating for homeowners. However, with the right attitude and assistance, you stand a strong chance of getting your home back to its preloss condition. When disaster strikes your home that are several jobs to take care of that can go a long way to reducing permanent losses. Shutting off the power supply is a vital safety step that can prevent electric equipment from blowing out and prevent electrical fires in the interim. Contacting both your insurance provider and a professional restorer can also pay dividends in the long run.

There are different phases to flood damage recovery in your Clifton home. The first step is emergency services or mitigation. These may be robust jobs like moving furniture out of harm's way, closing and sealing doorways to prevent water migration as well as collecting relevant documents or valuables. These duties are within the scope of the average homeowner, providing that due care and attention is taken.

When entering a flooded property, be aware of potential hazards as well as contamination in water. If you have any doubts, it is best to leave it to a professional. SERVPRO technicians can perform emergency draining of a flooded property using a combination of extraction tools and pumping equipment. Once the reduction of standing water levels is complete, there is less chance of slip and trip hazards as well as structural collapse. However, a thorough examination of ceilings, walls, and flooring needs conducting to ensure the property is sound.

The next phase of flood restoration involves remediating any immediate concerns in the building. These steps are necessary when water migration is occurring or when there is contamination in the property. Remediation tasks include industrial cleaning or controlled demolition of non-salvageable items and materials. SERVPRO can thoroughly disinfect your home to destroy any residual microbes, including mold, bacteria, and viruses.

After remediation SERVPRO can perform the restoration, the disposal of any building materials is replaced with new material including drywall and insulation. We can dry the structure using a combination of dehumidifiers and rapid-air movers to lessen the chances of secondary damages and return to the property every twenty-four-hours to assess improvements. The last step involves refinishing surfaces, contents, and deodorizing to ensure your home returns to a preloss condition, “Like it never even happened.”
