Restoring a Home After a Flood

Electrical circuits often experience short circuits when water inundates a home. Never turn on lights or reset circuit breakers until your sure there is no chance of electrocution. Resetting circuit breakers before electrical connections are dried and tested can cause fires. SERVPRO can evaluate your situation and prepare a plan to remove standing water, mud, and debris and contents that have been damaged by the floodwaters.

We use flood cuts on walls to remove water damaged drywall and expose the studs. There are often pockets of water inside the walls after a flood, and the drywall is not only contaminated; it also swells after contacting floodwaters and must be replaced. We also replace contaminated carpeting and underpadding. Severely damaged floors, especially when water and moisture have penetrated the subfloor may necessitate replacement of tile and hardwood flooring.

SERVPRO reviews all of the damage with our clients. We can work closely with your insurance adjuster to return your home to its original condition. We also have a general contractor license: 13VH06046200, which enables our team to save time and reduce the total cost of flood mitigation, repairs, and reconstruction.
