SERVPRO Helps with Prompt Flood Damage Mitigation

The intrusion of floodwater can be an alarming situation and one that leaves many materials and contents exposed to the new water threat. Flooding is possible from many sources, making it vital to determine the cause of your emergency as rapidly as possible. SERVPRO professionals can reach disasters fast after the first notice of loss.

Where Is the Flood Coming In?

It is critical to determine where flood damage in Newark homes originates and resolve it. Penetration of moisture from materials like porous wall system elements or a leaking ceiling might require removal to prevent structural collapse. Our inspection can also determine where emergency repairs and patches are needed to avoid further flooding.

Effective Extraction Solutions

Our SERVPRO professionals appreciate the severity of standing water and work fast to remove it from sensitive flooring materials. Extraction is one of the critical mitigation steps after flood damage and utilizes tools like:

• Pumps – submersible units are the most powerful in our inventory, with the capability of moving up to several hundred gallons of water per minute in the right circumstances. 

• Vacuums – wet vacuums are versatile and portable, allowing them to be used in confined spaces or for shallow standing water concerns with debris. 

• Deep Extraction – When materials can be preserved and protected, deep water removal options like carpet wands and weighted extraction help make drying possible. 

Material Handling for Contaminants

Contamination is a concern with flood water intrusion, and many of these events are treated the same as sewage backups or other similar scenarios. We safely navigate obstacles with personal protective equipment and quickly remove potentially compromised building materials and contents.

Recovery and restoration require several direct actions by our SERVPRO of Newark team. Understanding what to expect from responding professionals and the possible recovery needs of the house will help the process go smoothly and quickly. Call our experienced team today at (302) 733-7933.
