SERVPRO is ready to mitigate your water damaged problems in your Riverhead home.

Storms Can Flood Your Home and Weaken your Structure

Those in Riverhead may worry about storms and their consequences. Whenever outside water makes its way into your home, you need to take a comprehensive look at the damage and enlist the help of a reputable company to restore it. Well-meaning neighbors and friends may be able to help, but only technicians trained for these occasions can perform a thorough cleanup process.

Riverhead neighbors with flood damage can rely on SERVPRO to give them a knowledgeable assessment of their homes after flooding. Aside from the apparent harm done by water coming in, you need to pay close attention to structural elements and the possibility of microbes settling in your home. Drying, cleaning, and disinfecting are essential steps in restoring your home.

How does flood damage affect the structure of my home?

Floodwaters cause visible damage. Soaking furniture and peeling paint are easy to spot, and our SERVPRO team advises you on the benefits of restoration or the need for removal. However, damage can hide within your home in other areas. For example-

• Beneath hardwood floors
• Weakening of drywall
• Water accumulation within your crawl space

Our SERVPRO team inspects visible and invisible consequences and takes appropriate action. Our expertise guides our steps as we ready your home for further repairs and your return.

SERVPRO of The North Fork is available by calling (631) 591-3771. Invite us into your home and let us leave it "Like it never even happened."
