Have SERVPRO Flood Damage Specialists Dry and Restore Your Seminole Home

The latest rainstorm was a great excuse to huddle inside your Seminole home and watch a movie. Unfortunately, you didn’t notice, before going to bed, that the accumulated rainwater forced floodwater all night through a crack in the foundation that settled in the guest bedroom, hall bathroom, and farther inside until you finally saw it soaking into your bedroom carpet the next morning.

How are we going to get rid of the floodwater and reduce the damage?

To eliminate flood damage in your Seminole home, our Water Restoration Technicians (WRTs) have to remove the contaminated floodwater quickly. Every cubic inch contains not just the soil that flooded in with the water, but also any shampoos, food particles, and other contaminants inside the carpets, other floorings, drywall, and personal property. They do this with specific tasks:

Spraying down the surface of the water with an anti-bacterial agent to eliminate the threat of mold growing in the home
Using commercial grade pumps and extractors to draw the floodwater out of the home and into the nearest sewer
Tearing out carpets, flooring, walls, and ceiling panels too soaked with water for restoration. This also includes rain-soaked insulation.

Can SERVPRO rebuild all of the damage caused by the floodwater?

In many cases, the answer is yes. Our restoration teams are well-trained and experienced when it comes to minor and major construction. They can perform most tasks to include installing new drywall and flooring and even repairing the foundation.

Can SERVPRO help with my insurance claim?

Yes, our office has years of experience with every major insurance carrier licensed in the state of Florida. SERVPRO can help you when it comes to filing a claim and working with your agent every step of the way until we return your home to you in a dry, clean condition.
