Flood water seeping into your property after a storm can cause health effects and affect its structural integrity.

What Happens When Flooding Occurs on My Property?

There is not a whole lot anyone can do to prevent flood damage from an act of nature. The storm flood damage in your Durham residence can affect different structures and contents. Some things that can happen after a flooding incident include:

• Drywall can sag and disintegrate
• If water sits in the property for an extended period, wood surfaces swell, warp, and rot.
• Contamination and delamination of water-soaked carpet
• Water can short out electrical systems, causing shock and fire hazards as well as damage to electronics.

How Does One Identify Mold Damage?

Mold growth occurs both indoors and outdoors. It grows in damp areas like the bathroom or basement:

• It can be green, brown, purple, or black.
• It has an earthy, musty smell, which indicates its presence even if it is not visible.
• The affected area can be slippery.

Mold can cause health effects.

How do Technicians Remove Contaminated Flood Water?

Floodwater, often referred to as black or category three water, may contain many contaminants. This is the reason why it is vital to hire professional restorers to handle the cleanup process. Restring your home as quickly as possible is also vital to reduce the overall damage. Our restorers have access to various high-tech equipment that helps us to restore flooded homes. We can use self-priming trash pumps to pump out the water. Our team can also clean and decontaminate your home to eliminate potential chemical, environmental or biological contaminants the floodwater brought.

Our SERVPRO team can also dry and dehumidify your home to ensure no moisture remains. Airflow is an essential tool for drying. We ensure that air movers provide a continuous flow of air across all damp surfaces. It can be challenging to get your property back to its preloss state after flood damage. However, with the help of our professional restoration team, we can restore your house within a brief period.
