Flooding can quickly cause water damage. Contact SERVPRO for water removal and remediation services.

SERVPRO is a Flood Damage Restoration Expert for Morristown Residents

Natural disasters cause millions of dollars worth of damage every year in the United States. These events sometimes come with a warning from local radio stations or local governance offices, allowing residents to prepare ahead of time. Flash flooding can be particularly tough to prepare for, given the sheer volume of water as well as the reduced timespan for preparedness. SERVPRO acts as an emergency property repair team should your home fall victim to flash flooding. We operate locally to arrive quickly at the scene and begin emergency services which could significantly reduce the impact of flash flooding on your home. Our services include:

• Pumping water out of the property
• Sanitizing the property 
• Inspecting the damages to building assembly or contents

Blackwater is commonly found when flood damage affects Morristown residents. Blackwater is when a water supply contains high-level contaminants and is normal when the water has appeared from outside the home, such as in a flood. Clean water emergencies are usually restricted to pipe bursts or leaks. When dealing with blackwater, professionals need to follow legally enforced rules to return home safely before inhabitants return. Sanitizing a home can involve cleaning with disinfectants but commonly also consists of removing and disposing of affected materials. 

• A building framework is usually salvageable following a blackwater emergency and can be sand-blasted or disinfected using truck-mounted spray equipment. 
• Pressure washing for either the exterior or interior of the house can help quickly remove dirt, sludge, and grime from affected areas of the home. 
• It is usual for parts of the building assembly, such as plaster, to be completely removed and replaced if exposed to blackwater during a flood. 

In an emergency, it is important to use a service you can trust. Contact SERVPRO of Hamblen County for flood damage restoration at (423) 318-6733.
