SERVPRO Implements Preventive Flood Mitigation Steps to Contain Secondary Damage

Whether floodwaters accumulate while you are in the house or not, the outcome can make you feel defeated since it may seem like there is nothing you can do to contain the damage. However, flood damage can be contained in many ways minimizing its effects or even preventing it from reaching some property sections.

While it is okay to accept a certain level of flood damage in your Jamesport property, failure to take action can lead to extreme outcomes such as high restoration costs or even forcing you to abandon the house over extended periods. With assistance from SERVPRO, it is possible to achieve a couple of goals that lead to convenient recovery.

Some of the achievable flood recovery goals include:

•   Mold prevention
•   Limiting damage to contents
•   Containing the spread of contaminants
•   Controlling moisture effects

Once floodwaters breach your property, several kinds of damage start happening. While you may tend to focus on the apparent ones, such as the deep soiling of materials and surfaces, you should not forget that other less visible issues can complicate the recovery later.  Taking action early enough can contain such issues. 

Floodwaters can lead to deep contamination of your property, especially if groundwater is involved. Even in cases where flooding results from a breached roof, contamination can arise from the proliferation of microbes. Our SERVPRO teams can help you deal with this in many ways, including removing the porous materials and spraying disinfectants in the water.

Exposure to moisture affects various materials causing rot, rust, swelling, mold, and many other issues. Although restoration drying can only be done after finishing other processes such as cleanup and decontamination, our SERVPRO teams can provide humidity control which limits moisture migration, saving more items.
