Storm and flood damage restoration is no DIY task. Call the professionals at SERVPRO for fast and immediate service for your home.

Flood Damage Factors Change Estimations

Among the earliest needed actions after flood and water damages is determining the cost to the customer. While this can be an intricate process with several variables, knowing the expected out-of-pocket expense helps a customer have more confidence in the work. Several efforts and services could change the anticipated estimation, however.

Water and Flood Mitigation

SERVPRO must address flood damage in Alum Rock homes and businesses as soon as possible. Creating a restoration plan starts with choosing the needed mitigative steps to protect the property and prevent greater harm. In many ways, initial estimations and mitigation actions cannot fully begin without emergency services like these taking place:

• Containment 
• Extraction 
• Controlled Demolition 

Moving Damaged Contents Off-Site

While it is desirable and hopeful that the cleanup and restoration of your personal belongings, furniture, and other exposed contents can happen on-site, this is not always the case. Off-site recovery is recommended in some situations based on possible contamination or water damage levels. We have advanced equipment at our SERVPRO warehouse for cleaning, drying, and controlled-climate storage.

Drying the Residence Fully

The measures needed to fully dry and recover your home or business after water damage and flooding vary from one site to the next. It is critical to start these processes as mitigation nears its end, but this process does not happen overnight. The drying process continually evolves based on the readings of moisture detection equipment to determine if more tools are necessary if machines need to be moved, and if drying goals and milestones are getting reached as anticipated.
