Flood Cleanup

Water is deceptive.  You don’t realize just how destructive it can be until you’ve been the victim of a flood event.  Water can shift the very foundation of a house, destroy personal effects, and deteriorate the health of the interior environment.  Flood waters are often contaminated, and even an inch of water in your home can cause major damage to carpeting, floors, drywall, furniture, and electrical appliances.

Flood damage cleanup should start as soon as possible to prevent subsequent problems.  Whether it is a simple basement flood, sewer backup water, or a large scale flood event, flood cleanup jobs have a number of similar elements.  Sewage cleanup is always best left to the professionals.

The water will need to be extracted from the home, carpets and floors will need to be dried, cleaned, and disinfected, basements and crawlspaces inspected and treated appropriately, and repairs made to any damage to the structure.

You should contact a local water restoration company to work on your home.  The ideal company will offer 24/7 service, with a staff of trained technicians proficient on the latest water removal cleanup equipment and procedures.  They will offer a full range of service including flood cleanup and restoration, carpet cleaning and mold removal, and structural repair and reconstruction as needed.  They should be certified by the Institute for Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC) the governing body of the water restoration industry.  Choosing a company with the IICRC seal will tell you that you have made a good choice.
