Complications Caused by Flood Damage and Debris
Floodwater can invite all kinds of concerns into a home. Water damage is only one aspect of homeowners' issues when a flood occurs.
- Flooding can compromise home electrical systems with water damage, creating potential safety concerns.
- Floods also introduce microbes, debris, sewage, and other contaminants to the home that can complicate the cleaning process.
- Damage to structural material is a frequent issue with flooding, especially for flooring adhesives and porous surfaces like grout, drywall, carpet, upholstery, and wood.
SERVPRO’s professional restoration services aim to efficiently clean flood damage and restore the home and its contents to a pre-disaster condition.
