How to Handle Storm Flood Damage in North Syracuse
A storm has left debris and caused flood damage on my property. Who can help me bring things back to normal promptly?
SERVPRO is qualified to handle storm flood damage in affected North Syracuse homes. Flooding can cause structural damage. As the water soaks into floor joists and wall studs, it can weaken your home’s structure. Floods can also ruin personal items and cause mold growth within 48 to 72 hours. We can take the following steps to restore your home:
- Emergency services
- Water removal
- Drying
- Deodorization
- Rebuilding
Emergency services
After our team arrives at your property, we can take measures to minimize your home’s further exposure to danger. To prevent additional destruction, we can reinforce the doors and windows or board up your home. We can also clear up debris like broken tree branches.
Water removal
We can remove the water using portable extractors because they are easier to take, even in restricted areas. They have a pump, a heater, and a vacuum system.
Drying
We can use drying equipment to stabilize the property. We can use axial air movers and refrigerant dehumidifiers to dry all affected structures and contents thoroughly.
Deodorization
Floodwater can leave foul odors on your property. Odors are volatile (evaporative) molecules the nose senses in the air. They dissipate after restorers remove the source of the smell using various deodorization methods. One method we can use is wet fogging. This involves using ultra-low volume (ULV) foggers to dispense solvent-based or water-based deodorizers. ULV foggers generate small particles that can penetrate many areas where odor particles hide.
Rebuilding
Our SERVPRO technicians are well-equipped to handle all the necessary repairs like fixing leaking ceilings, broken windows, and damaged porches. We can restore your property to its normal habitable condition.
