Processes Ensure Flood Damage Gets Removed from Gaithersburg Properties

When contending with flood and water damage in homes and businesses, it is important to do our part as restoration professionals to have the job completed the first time correctly. With the urgency of these disasters and how invasive cleanup can often seem, homeowners benefit from the assurance that all necessary measures are taken to thoroughly dry and repair the property. There are several steps to provide this peace of mind.

Moisture Tracking

Flood damage in Gaithersburg homes can leave water and moisture in multiple structure areas. Before officially leaving a job, it is vital to understand that the necessary drying has taken place. We utilize several moisture tracking devices to identify damp pockets within structural cavities and direct the best locations for placing air movers and dehumidifiers.

Surface Cleaning and Disinfection

Another potential strategy for providing customers peace that the work has been done successfully, is watching the extensive cleaning and protective processes for the remaining structure. Preventative measures, such as applying antimicrobial products or sporicidal chemicals on surfaces, can prevent the spread of microbes and bacterial pathogens depending on the products used.

Communication

Communicating with the customer is another effective method of explaining the process completed during the restoration process and answering any questions the property owner might still have. Communication is one of our greatest tools, as this allows us to interface with the customer directly and hear their priorities and concerns to let us actively address these issues.

Thorough Final Inspections

A final walkthrough is required to consider a restoration process completed. Our management navigates recovered areas with the customer to describe restorative actions taken and preventative measures applied to protect the property further. This final inspection focuses on:

• Dryness
• Cleanliness
• Solid structure
• Content placement

After a flood, it is vital to get restoration started as soon as possible. Our SERVPRO of Gaithersburg / Germantown team is ready to help when disasters strike at (301) 973-6257.
