Basements are common areas for water damage. Let SERVPRO's trained techs restore your home.

SERVPRO Expedites Water and Content Removal to Alleviate Basement Flooding

Extreme weather such as storms can leave significant flood damage, whether from torrential rain or rising groundwater typical in such incidents. Depressed areas in your Middletown home, such as the basement, can endure a more significant impact since most of the water collects there.

The outcome of flood damage in your Middletown basement may depend on external factors such as the amount of intruding water and level of contamination. It might also depend on internal factors such as the type of flooring and wall finishing you have in the basement. Water Restoration Technicians from SERVPRO have the necessary training to inspect the affected area and determine the best course of action. The inspection targets subfloor and substrate materials as well as interstitial spaces.  

Other crucial skills that aid flood restoration in basements include the ability to handle:

• Water damage repairs
• Sewage cleanup
• Water damage remediation

Minimal space is a significant hindrance when dealing with a flooded basement since it restricts the placement and movement of equipment. Space can be a problem because of the room’s design or the materials stashed in the area.

Our SERVPRO crew can help through pack-outs creating the needed room. We also have a variety of equipment, including portable extractors, which are convenient for small areas. Using specialized tools such as self-priming trash pumps also helps cut down the restoration period.

Trash pumps ease the removal of floodwater with various solid wastes such as:

• Silt
• Mud
• Slurry
