What Are the First Three Mitigation Steps After Flooding in Voorhees Homes?

9/6/2021 (Permalink)

Water damage incidents from storms are no easy task to handle. SERVPRO techs are ready and trained for any size storm damage restoration job.

Knowing what to expect for emergency services provides confidence in the restoration of your Voorhees property. 

Water damage incidents can spread quickly through area homes and businesses, which is even more threatening when flooding occurs. Intruding water can overwhelm living spaces with moisture and potential contaminants, making it vital for our SERVPRO team to begin mitigation efforts as soon as possible to help.

Protecting Contents and Sensitive Materials 

Your personal belongings can often be among the items most heavily affected by flood damage in Voorhees homes. As our restoration team arrives, contents are evaluated for harm and relocated when possible to a safe portion of the house. When focused cleaning is necessary, these items can get moved to our nearby SERVPRO facility for attention.

Water Removal Services for Flood Damage 

Standing water is another obstacle that our team must overcome to clean and restore properties after flood damage. Emergency services we provide focus on efficient water removal solutions ranging from high-powered pumps to wet vacuums and submersible pumps. The combination of various extraction units helps to mitigate loss and quickly remove surface water.

Muck-Out Cleaning and Debris Removal

Yet another one of the vital initial services our SERVPRO team provides is muck-out cleaning. Bulk materials and debris can collect on the surface, and various solids can be carried in with intruding floodwater. Having a team prepared to clean up this mess can reduce the spread of contaminants and damage, all while managing persistent concerns like:

• Mud
• Silt
• Organic matter
• Insects
• Debris

Knowing what to expect from mitigation and emergency services can show the advantages of getting these efforts started right away. Our SERVPRO of Haddon Heights / Voorhees team can work fast to secure your property and its contents from irreparable harm after a loss incident. We are available 24/7 when you call (856) 566-3388.
