SERVPRO Oversees Procedural Flood Restoration in Bethpage

Flooding is perhaps the most tedious to resolve of the incidents that can damage your Bethpage property. Different dynamics, including the presence of toxic materials, high water volumes, and soiling variety, affect your home's contents and structural areas. If you do not know what to do, flood restoration can easily overwhelm you.

Seeking help to manage flood damage at your Bethpage property may seem like a costly choice, but when you consider the benefits, you realize that any added expense is negligible. A seasoned restoration team like SERVPRO uses cutting-edge technologies to simplify or hasten restoration tasks, thus increasing the chances of saving money. We also help with the human resource aspects.

Critical steps for flood damage management:

• Managing moisture accumulation and spreading 
• Controlling contamination 
• Addressing material deterioration
• Preventing and removing odors

Unlike other incidents that damage properties, you can learn about flooding when it is about to happen or after. Storms are forecast hours or even days before. In both scenarios, it is possible to take actions to limit the overall damage. SERVPRO provides the means for such intervention, whether human or technical resources.

Necessary intervention after a flood

Any water left in the house, after flooding in the general area recedes, soaks into porous and semi-porous materials like wood, concrete, and fabrics. Although the flooding may be restricted close to the floor, moisture migration can spread it to other areas if there is no intervention. Our SERVPRO technicians facilitate such action by making flood cuts and expediting extraction with sophisticated pumps. A flood cut eliminates the physical connection in materials keeping moisture from wicking through them.

When flood damage is caused by groundwater, you should be worried about the contaminants left in your house after the water is evacuated. Our SERVPRO crews spray EPA-registered disinfectants around the affected areas. Physical removal of porous materials like carpets, pads, and insulation
