Flood Damage in Germantown Home From Locally Heavy Rains

Among all the types of water damage that hits local homes, flood damage is one of the worst. It does not even have to be deep to leave behind a huge mess to clean up.

Groundwater brings two significant issues with flood damage to Germantown homes. Homeowners do not know what is in the water, and until the rain lets up, they do not know how much is coming into the property.

Fast Action Needed for Water Loss

Extraction is a crucial element in flood cleanup, and SERVPRO technicians begin upon arrival. If the situation has water more than two inches deep, it will not delay removal as the technicians have submersible pumps in their arsenal of specialized water removal equipment.

Equipment Makes the Difference

One of the most significant factors that set SERVPRO technicians apart is their access to specialized extraction and drying equipment. The carpet may be a loss in a groundwater intrusion, but thorough flood damage removal and drying can save the homeowner from having to replace the subfloor.

The drying equipment goes beyond blowing air on wet surfaces. The centrifugal air movers deliver airflow at such a high velocity it causes deeply embedded moisture to rise. At that time, the released moisture gets captured and ported off-site by the dehumidification equipment. This cycle results in progressively drier air circulating and works to rapidly lower indoor humidity and dries the structure and contents effectively.

Ready for Repairs

The technicians remove items that are beyond restoration from water loss and work hard to restore contents for the homeowner to save them the cost of replacement whenever possible. Common actions include the disinfection of the property and proactive treatments to discourage mold growth, such as antimicrobial cleaners and sealants. If the property requires any odor control measures, the technicians ensure any musty water odors are gone before repairs and reconstruction begin.
