Yes, It Can! SERVPRO Can Extract the Unwanted Water

Onondaga county sustains lake effect snow and often unusually long winters, making springtime water levels in rivers and lakes rise, creating a threat for flooding. Heavy rains tend to cause Oneida lake to rise, again making the conditions right for potential flooding. It is essential to have a plan in place if your home floods.

The Flood Response Team at SERVPRO Can Help

Flood damage in your Camillus home can be overwhelming and traumatic. That is why, after ensuring everyone is out of danger, you should make two calls right away. First, you should call for professional assistance and second make a call to your insurance company. With all types of water damage, time is one of the most critical factors in mitigating damage.

What Should I Do if My Walls are Damaged?

• Even small amounts of water can spread throughout drywall, potentially causing structural damage.
• Our IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) technicians often make flood cuts to the drywall as a vital step in the restoration process.

What Are Flood Cuts and Why Are They Necessary?

• They are cuts in the wall several inches above the waterline, resulting in the removal of the lower portion of the impacted wall.
• Flood cuts stop the spread of moisture, decreasing the chances of further damage.
• Flood cuts serve to remove contaminated materials that may contain dangerous microbial growth from the floodwater.
• Exposed wall cavities allow for more air movement and ventilation.

Flood cuts are just one step in the process in dealing with a flood. SERVPRO technicians also disinfect, dry, and much more to restore your home to preloss conditions, whenever possible. “Like it never even happened.”
