SERVPRO Handles Flood Damage from Recent Storms to Quickly Remove Water from Your Middletown Basement.

Being the lowest point within your home, it is no wonder why a basement would be susceptible to water intrusion or flooding during a storm. Once this happens, you need to act quickly, yet careful to ensure everything gets handled safely.

We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster, so when you need us for your flooded basement, you can have a crew on-site in as little as four hours or less after you call.

What Happens if Water Sits Too Long?

When you have flood damage in Middletown, the water standing in your basement could harbor many contaminants. The longer the water stays, the more the damage sets in. Mold also colonizes and spreads within 24 hours after the initial water incident. However, with rapid response from our Green Fleet, you can ensure your basement and belongings get the attention they need.

Some of the ways that SERVPRO gets your home back to preloss condition includes:

• The use of proprietary products and EPA-registered cleaning agents
• Rapid water removal to limit the number of secondary water issues and structural damage
• Industrial strength dehumidifiers and drying tools to remove moisture and bring down the relative humidity in the air
• After moisture levels are back to normal, SERVPRO cleans, sanitizes, and treats the area using powerful anti-microbial agents to inhibit mold growth
• Every step of the process is very carefully documented, and we are happy to work with your insurance provider to facilitate prompt execution of your claim

When you call SERVPRO of Middletown/New Britain for help with flood damage, we take the burden off of your shoulders. We are always available to assist you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by calling (860) 826-5169.
