Rely on SERVPRO to mitigate flood-damaged homes in Lenoir City--even basement concrete damage

You Can Count on SERVPRO’s Experienced Professionals for your Flood Damage

When we purchase a home, we look at its location, the school district, and close-by amenities.  We may research whether it is in a flood zone because it could impact the cost of home insurance.  But we rarely consider its elevation and the likelihood of flood damage becoming a fact of life. Similarly, when we look at homes, we do not think of the likelihood of our basement flooding when there is a rise in water levels.  Protecting your home is essential to homeownership, and relying on professional staff is sound advice.

Storm Flood Damage

Homeowners in Lenoir City with flood damage in their basements can reach out to SERVPRO for an expert restoration service.  Our team holds certifications from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC), which attests to our expertise in water restoration. Basements can be especially susceptible to damage depending on their finish.  From drywall to cinder blocks, each material carries its own risk of holding floodwaters and causing grave consequences for you and your family.  Let us enter your home and develop a targeted plan as soon as possible. Speed in taking action is the most significant step in mitigating your damages.

Upon arrival, our SERVPRO technicians may relocate your belongings and develop a staging area.  Even if the accumulation of water does not appear to be voluminous, the ability of upholstery, wood, and sheetrock to absorb it only exacerbates its effect.  Our team brings in pumps and discards any items that are beyond being salvaged, all while isolating other precious belongings as a preventive measure.

As our SERVPRO crew progresses, we bring in dehumidifiers and air movers to encourage moisture to rise and evaporate as quickly as possible.  During this process, you may perceive a white powder on your concrete slab, which is a residue from the elements in concrete. Our team removes, cleans, and disinfects the area with industry-grade cleaning solutions specifically designed for this purpose.

Protect your basement and your home with the help of SERVPRO of Loudon & Roane Counties.  A call to (865) 328-1948 is a call to industry knowledge and expertise.  Our goal, like yours, is to leave your home, “Like it never even happened.”
