Mitigating Water Damage from Middletown Flooding Takes the Right Expertise

The potential for flooding is often on the minds of Middletown area residents, especially during the spring thaw. Many times, springtime creates the "perfect storm" for flooding along the Connecticut River. The melting snow draining off the mountains, combined with rain from seasonal showers, routinely leads to problems for those living in this area. Considering this, it's important to prepare beforehand and know whom to call when flooding issues arise at your home.

The initial shock of your Middletown home flooding can be quite traumatic, but it's important that you quickly get control of the situation. Luckily, limiting water damage in your Middletown location is as easy as making one fast call to SERVPRO. Within four hours of your call, our experienced experts will be on-site to start helping you assess, clean up, and limit further water damage. Using state-of-the-art equipment, like moisture sensors and meters, they will detect where water is coming from and how much of it different items have absorbed. This will enable them to effectively direct their efforts, thereby reducing recovery time and your overall costs.

After SERVPRO determines where water is seeping into your Middletown residence and how much it has damaged various things, they will get to work mitigating and preventing further property deterioration. Our trained professionals will first use extractors to remove water from upholstered items, carpets, and other flooring. Then, they will foster increased airflow and surface evaporation with air movers. Following this treatment, in order to facilitate greater evaporation, workers will proceed to remove excess water vapor from the air with dehumidifiers. These are, generally, of one of two types. One functions much like an air conditioner, drying the air by cooling it and reducing its moisture capacity. The other type utilizes drying agents that bond with water vapor to reduce airborne moisture. After the dehumidifying process, SERVPRO experts use deodorization equipment to eliminate odor-causing bacteria, mold, and mildew.
