SERVPRO Flood Damage Teams Can Save your Home and Belongings

Unexpected weather events can affect your home. Often, these manifest in the form of floods, which can affect the bottom levels of your home, garages, and crawlspaces. Local weather warnings can help prepare you for adverse weather; however, protecting your home and belongings can be difficult. SERVPRO is a nationally recognized organization that enables homeowners to overcome flooding by performing expert emergency mitigation and restoration services. We can help with things like:

• Basement flooding
• Rainwater intrusion
• Floodwater mitigation

Attempting to reverse flood damage in your Raleigh home is challenging. Floodwaters contain high levels of contamination. Contaminated waters can impact the materials they come into contact with, causing permanent damage. Typically porous materials in the home suffer the most from contaminated waters. These materials include drywall used in wall assembly, textiles like carpets, and organic matter. We can replace materials deemed non-salvageable and professionally install the new drywall, carpet, or fittings in your home. Non-porous items like appliances, hardwoods, glass, metal, and plastics are often salvageable using cleaning agents and equipment. 

• Solid-waste pumps can help to remove heavily contaminated bodies of water from the home quickly.
• Biocides and anti-microbial chemicals are often applied onto non-porous surfaces to return your property to a sanitary state.
• Inspections for potential water migration into cavities or subfloors are standard in our flood restoration service.

If your home is flooded due to storm conditions, contact SERVPRO of Southeast Raleigh / Garner for flood damage restoration at (919) 615-1179.
