Advantages of Rapid Fort Pierce North Flood Mitigation

A flooded home can result from internal issues, including plumbing failures, or external events, such as extreme weather. One must take specific steps to save the property, secure the family, and recoup as many belongings as possible. Floodwaters may include sewage or other hazardous material. Therefore, extreme precautions should be exercised when handling them.

The level of flood damage in Fort Pierce North properties increases the longer the water level stays abnormally high. The longer standing water stays inside the house, the more structural stability may be compromised since structural wood and paneling, as drywall, becomes increasingly compromised. Wood remains wet long after the floodwaters recede unless special efforts are made to dry it. The SERVPRO emergency team responds to water intrusion events and is equipped to mitigate such damages.

Other impacts from floodwaters

• Damage to concrete pad foundations, outdoor patios, and walkways
• Undermined footings for post-and-beam foundations and deck posts
• Damages fences and outbuildings

Power lines are inherently susceptible to damage from extreme weather due to falling trees leading to power loss. The tree may also fall directly on your house, leaving an opening on the roof hence more water intrusion. After such incidents, our SERVPRO crews take rapid measures by installing tarps over any open spaces to prevent further moisture intrusion.

Flood damage cleanup

Professional flood damage cleanup crews handle the impacts on carpeting, walls, upholstery, floors, cupboards, or even soggy documents. However, carpets and other porous materials should be replaced when contaminated with floodwaters as it is categorized as black water, which is unsanitary. High-value area rugs can be saved through a multi-stage process starting with immersing in a biocide, re-cleaning, and thorough drying. An Indoor Environmental Professional has to test to confirm that porous materials have reached sanitary conditions after cleaning. You should also sanitize hard surfaces.

Chemical agents necessary for sanitizing

• Antimicrobial products
• Disinfectants
