Storms can bring flooding and water damage. The professionals at SERVPRO are always on call to handle your water damage restoration needs.

SERVPRO Provides Solutions to Flooding in Seminole

Living near the beaches is considered a beautiful location, but it also comes with many surprises. Flooding is one of these surprises, but we can help your family regain your home. SERVPRO only uses the most recent industry developments and scientific discoveries in performing restorative work.

Seminole is divided by water, which provides revenue through tourism, fun, and beauty, but this water can also cause flood damage to affect Seminole homes adversely. There are other ways that water can flood, such as seasonal storms, hurricanes, and indoor plumbing accidents. Outside sources often bring debris and other contaminants with them, which significantly increases the problem's severity.

When flooding happens, the materials in your home react to the water. Some, such as wallpaper, carpeting, and furniture, are immediately affected. Other materials take longer to show signs of their contact with the water. Because flooding continues to create more and more damage the longer it remains in a home, we are always available regardless of the hour.

Items that Need Water Clean Up

Carpeting can become stained almost immediately by any furniture legs that rest directly on the carpet's surface. Wallpaper and linoleum can both lose their adhesive qualities and can eventually separate from glued surfaces. Drywall can deteriorate over time, slowly becoming worse and worse.

Water from any source can seep into areas that never came into contact with the initial intrusion. Flooded homes always have higher humidity levels than the air outside. Higher humidity in a home can create problems with deterioration and corrosion in a multitude of locations.

These situations stemming from flood damage mean it is imperative to begin cleaning up flood damage immediately. Every minute that goes by with water standing in your home creates additional problematic situations. SERVPRO has the pump trucks needed for any size flooding incident.

Water Removal Equipment

After we have reduced the amount of water to the degree suitable for handheld equipment, we can continually, step-by-step, work toward bringing the moisture levels in your home back within normal ranges. This includes the humidity levels in the air. We do not stop with just drying your home's walls and floors and the furnishings inside, but we also reduce the moisture in the air.

Flood Damage Restoration

After the moisture levels are under control, we then move onto other stages of restoration. Flood damage can include the smell of floodwaters, as well as sewage or other debris. We can restore a fresh and clean scent to your home, so it does not only look restored, but it smells restored, also.
