As we assess the damage in your home, we can make preliminary decisions about items we need to remove to protect your health and about the equipment we need to restore other surfaces. In most cases, we remove porous surfaces such as upholstery and carpets due to the bacteria and debris stormwater brings into your home.

How can I sanitize after a storm?

If you are already thinking of sanitizing your home, you are in good shape. It is not uncommon to find homeowners who focus solely on water extraction and fail to address microorganisms brought in by the flood. However, our SERVPRO team knows that the final stage in a successful cleanup process is disinfecting and sanitizing your home. To reach every corner of your home to the best of our ability, we make use of the following treatments:

    •    Ultra-Low Volume Foggers which sprays a fine mist throughout your home to neutralize airborne bacteria
    •    Thermal Foggers provide a thicker fog which helps deodorize your home
    •    Ozone generator which helps disinfect and purify the air
