When a flood hits your property, you need to call the technicians at SERVPRO.

Flood Damage Can Start Elsewhere With Some Help

It doesn’t take a tree falling on your roof for rainwater to cause flood damage to your Hyde Park residence’s interior. Strong winds that force heavy rain into your home can use broken-down shingles, loosened siding, or a badly warped window frame.

Our reconstruction team knows how to repair these unwanted openings while our water extraction team gets water out of your Hyde Park home. Afterward, flood damage becomes easier to assess, letting us determine what we can salvage and what we must replace. 

 Different things can determine if something requires rebuilding and replacements of areas in your home with flood damage, like:

• What the water passed through,
• How long the water occupied your home’s interior, and
• The severity of the damage.

Some houses contain asbestos in different forms. Insulation, ceiling tiles, shingles, floor coverings, and wallboards are all possible sources of asbestos. When water passes through these materials, the water can carry asbestos fibers away, contaminating the water. Anything saturated with this water might require specialized cleaning. 

Some families choose to use specific rooms only for special occasions or for guests. During inactive periods, flooding occurring in only such areas can go undetected. Although it may have been relatively clean rainwater at first, also known as Category 1, this can slowly degrade to Category 2 and eventually Category 3.

While flooding remains inside your residence, the affected areas’ degree of damage steadily worsens. Carpeting, padding, and even floorboards can become rotted and require removal. Because of the porous nature of drywall, dirty water can travel upward. Such moisture can corrode wiring, possibly causing a fire. 

When damage from flooding occurs, SERVPRO is ready to help restore everything, from cleaning to salvaging to rebuilding. We do all of this in a manner that provides you with the most cost-effective response.
