Removing Flood Damage from a Middletown Basement

Flooding is the most common natural disaster that occurs in the US today, and there is no part of the country that has not, at some point, experienced flooding. Basements, which are already prone to water damage, are especially vulnerable to flooding due to the massive amounts of water involved in ground floods, flash flooding, and related disasters. 

If your property in Middleton requires flood damage cleanup, SERVPRO's emergency-response team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to return your home to a preloss condition. Technicians receive extensive training in flood damage safety, odor removal, mold remediation, and biohazard cleanup. No matter what floodwaters bring into your home, these restoration pros can clean the damage and sanitize your basement. This SERVPRO also offers residential contracting services for homeowners (license #HIC.0652559).

Precautions to Take After Flooding

• Extract water if it is safe to do so. If you find sewage or other contaminants in water, do not try to remove this on your own. Call a mitigation crew to take care of these flood damages. Sump pump systems, drains, wet/dry vacs, and mops can aid in removing smaller water damages. 
• Check your gutters. Clogged gutters, drains, and downspouts are a common cause of basement floods, so keeping them clean is essential to prevent water from coming into your home. 
• Freeze water-damaged documents. Drying these materials in the same way you would other items can warp and damage them further. 
• Elevate items. Use water-resistant shelving and containers for personal effects and cinder blocks for furniture. 

SERVPRO Removes Flood Damage Odors

This team's odor control technicians (OCTs) can use a variety of deodorizing techniques to address different odor sources in your basement. Disinfection with EPA-registered biocides is essential to odor removal. Ultra-low volume fogging can saturate surfaces with water- or solvent-based deodorizers that are highly effective at eliminating odor-causing particles. If mold has developed in your basement from floodwaters, HEPA-filter air scrubbers can significantly improve indoor air quality and prevent the spread of mold spores.
