Homeowners have to deal with many things which may include storm damage. SERVPRO is available 24/7 to assist with remediation services.

SERVPRO is prepared to Handle Any Challenges Arising during Water Clean Up

When a storm or other adverse weather swamps your home with murky floodwater, you must prepare for extensive cleaning to restore your property to its preloss state. Although you might have successfully cleaned various messes in your Raleigh home before, soiling from flooding can challenge you beyond your expectations.

Before flood damage cleanup at your Raleigh home starts, it is essential to have a sound plan on what to do at each stage. Starting the process without a proper plan is what leads to complications. SERVPRO can guarantee positive outcomes because of our experience handling various cleaning situations.

Some Common Challenging Cleaning Tasks Include:

• Cleaning up after a sewer backup
• Sewage cleanup
• Basement flooding cleanup

One way to ease the challenge of cleaning a flooded property is to split up the process into different stages rather than tackling everything simultaneously. When our SERVPRO crew chiefs arrive at the loss site, we scope to establish the severity of the problem and thus the stages needed when implementing the cleanup.

Common Stages of Cleaning a Flooded Property Include:

• Debris and murk removal
• Extraction of standing water
• Content pack out or cleaning
• Drying and deodorization

The complexity of each stage mostly depends on the materials in your property. For instance, if there are carpets and pads, they must be torn down, unlike in a property with a hard floor such as tiles, which increases the debris to be removed. 

The level of soiling also differs in each case of flooding. If the water is mixed with vast amounts of mud or silt, regular removal may not suffice. Our SERVPRO technicians overcome this by using specialized extraction equipment such as self-priming trash pumps. 

Regardless of the challenges that arise, SERVPRO of Southeast Raleigh / Garner can help restore your property to its preloss state. You can reach us at (919) 615-1179. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.
