Getting Started with Flood Damage Cleanup

The shock of seeing your home in Morristown underwater, flooded along with the other houses along your street, can be a terrible feeling. Your memories are in that house, and your plans for the future often held your home as a crucial part. SERVPRO understands how devastating flood damage affects families because we live in the same neighborhoods. We want to help our neighbors get back in their homes, and we can do so quickly.

Our capability to restore our neighbors’ homes to livable conditions relies on the rapid cleanup of those Morristown properties with flood damage. We get things started with our pump trucks and other extraction equipment. While some team members use thickly gloved hands to grab and bag debris that the floodwaters pushed into your home, other team members are working on getting floodwater out of trapped areas. We find these inside homes in places like:

• Dead spaces in staircases,
• Compartments under cabinets, and
• Interior walls.

We must remove the water trapped inside these areas to help our desiccation equipment work at its optimal ability. Because these areas are also free of strong air currents and get no sunlight, they are a microbe’s dream environment. We want to prevent any secondary damage from occurring, including mold infestation.

Small compartments underneath cabinets like your sinks or built-in bookshelves need dismantling, draining, drying out, antimicrobial treatment, and rebuilding. We check for these often-hidden and overlooked places with the aid of infrared cameras. These show the cooler temps damp areas are known to produce.

We dry floors by ridding them of soaked carpets and padding, allowing us to get subflooring structures dried out and stabilized. We use the Injectidry system to extract water from underneath wooden sections of hardwood flooring. This specialized system lets us dry floors uniformly, preventing cupping and curling, cutting down on the need for sanding and buffing later.
