Flood Damage Requires Prompt and Deliberate Attention to Prevent Greater Harm to Raleigh Homes. 

Many Raleigh homes have already experienced the destructive forces of flooding as recently as the past several years with the devastation of Hurricane Florence in the region. Our fast responding team helped then just as we help now with the worst that nature can do to area homes and businesses.

Clearing Standing Water Concerns

When homeowners think of flood removal in Raleigh properties, pooling is what usually comes to mind. Flooding can leave homes contending with several feet of standing water in extreme cases, and our SERVPRO team must be ready to respond with effective extraction equipment and cleaning strategies.

Removing Trapped Water from Porous Materials

Standing water is an immediate issue, but trapped moisture can be just as damaging and destructive. We must determine where moisture damage exists, including structural cavities and porous materials, and find the appropriate response to remove the trapped water if the material does not require demolition and reconstruction. Some of the tools used in this venture include:

• Drying mats
• Positive pressure systems
• Portable heaters
• Dehumidifiers

Muck-Out Cleaning After a Flood

After the standing water concerns are neutralized, we still have muck-out cleaning and bulk materials removal to complete. The surface water concerns present immediate problems for absorption and spreading potential contaminants. When resolved, restorers can see the mud, silt, debris, and decaying organic solids that must be addressed with the cleaning process.

Water removal services are a vital part of the mitigation and restoration efforts provided by our SERVPRO of Southeast Raleigh / Garner team. With the urgency of water damage incidents, we have a rapid response team capable of reducing out-of-pocket expenses with prompt emergency services. Give us a call today at (919) 615-1179.
