SERVPRO Knows that Water Removal Services and Drying in Riverhead Must Happen Right Away After Flood Damage

Physical water extraction is just part of the process when you have flooding and other damage after a storm in Riverhead. Not only may you have groundwater coming into your first floor or basement, but you may also have a leaking roof from storms that lead to costly, unsightly ceiling leaks. SERVPRO acts quickly to begin the cleanup and hopefully lessen the impact on you emotionally and financially.

Do you have storm and flood damage in Riverhead? If so, you may not know where to begin or whether you should try to tackle the water damage repairs yourself. SERVPRO is composed of highly-trained water restoration technicians that stay up-to-date on the latest industry trends and teachings.

Facts you may not realize about flooding and water removal include:

• For water extraction to be efficient, it must get done fast. A single gallon of water standing in your home needs one hour for dehumidification or longer. Time is of the essence.
• Poor extractions create higher humidity, making it take longer to complete the job. When this happens, secondary damage and mold growth sets in.
• Controlled demolition is sometimes necessary to thoroughly remove saturated drywall, flooring, subfloor, and carpeting. Floodwater contains contaminants that can pose potential health effects. 

SERVPRO of The North Fork has the skills, manpower, and equipment to achieve better flood damage restoration results rather than DIY methods alone. If you need a crew to get started with water removal services, call us at (631) 591-3771.
