Multiple levels of flooding can lead to severe flood damage. The potential for costly structural repairs is possible when a basement experiences water loss.

Flooding occurred in your residence. The water drained through a back door seal and reached the kitchen. The water seeped into the vinyl tile flooring, and then collected in the basement below on the slab substrate.

Water Extraction

There was no sump pump in the basement, so the single drain backs up very quickly. SERVPRO technicians used portable submersible pumps upstairs and basement. There is never a delay in the cleaning, no matter how much water there is.

Disposal Lost Items

SERVPRO technicians will get homeowner approval before removing any of the most damaged items. Delaminated tile, wet and ruined sheetrock must be removed. The techs inspect tile depending on its material to determine whether it is recyclable after cleaning.

Preparing for Drying

To speed up drying, techs use several steps. The first step is to extract water as much as possible. In order to get the best moisture out of the floor, it is standard for techs to perform several "dry passes". Air movers, subfloor drying mats and dehumidifiers are all part of the equipment set-up. This is where air scrubbers come in as a standard component. These units capture airborne particulate and then remove it. This improves the air quality.

Final steps

The techs prepare the property for repairs and reconstruction. SERVPRO techs clean the property using antimicrobials to remove and prevent mold growth.
