How to Manage Flood Damage in Your Loudon Home Efficiently

No other natural disaster costs more property damage and loss of lives in the U.S.A. than flooding. The cost of restoring a flood-damaged home varies based on the severity of the destruction. If the floodwater got to your foundation or basement and caused rotting, mold growth, or damaged your furniture, carpets, and home appliances, the restoration costs can be high.

We Respond Within 2 to 4 Hours to Restore Your Loudon Home

Even if the incident caused minor roof and ceiling drips, broken fixtures, and wet drywall, you still need some flood damage restoration guidelines. Restoring your Loudon home after flood damage can be overwhelming, but the following tips for water damage restoration can make things easier and more cost-effective for you. Efficient flood restoration begins with thorough cleanup to remove the water, mud, and dirt. The key steps to take when cleaning up your flood-damaged home include:

• Shut down the power supply in your house to prevent electrocution hazards.
• Prioritize your safety because flood water may contain bacteria, fungi, pesticides, and other substances that could harm your health. Therefore, wear protective clothing, a face mask, and rubber boots before you start cleaning up after a flood.
• Prepare all the supplies you need like disinfectants, old towels or rags, and different cleaning products.
• Remove stagnant water using wet/dry vacuums or pails.
• Remove the porous materials which are contaminated or soaked and discard them.
• Open doors and windows to let air circulate in your home.

It is Crucial to Remove Flood Damage Within 2 to 4 Hours to Prevent Mold Infestation.

Once you get rid of the water, it is time to dry the affected areas. You can buy or rent high-powered fans or air movers to speed up the drying process. Use a portable dehumidifier to remove water vapor from indoor air. You can also place desiccants in sealed areas such as containers and closets to dry the items inside. If the flood damage is extensive, you can seek help from SERVPRO flood remediation professionals. We have the expertise and tools to clean up your house, dry it and disinfect it to make the damage look “Like it never even happened.”

We respond with the most powerful and sophisticated extraction equipment available, like submersible pumps and portable pumps. SERVPRO emphasizes fast water extraction because it reduces drying time and repair expenses. Our Applied Structural Drying Technicians (ASDs) can dry out your house thoroughly using air movers and refrigerant or desiccant dehumidifiers.

Our goal is to dry a structure to return the materials to their normal moisture content levels. We use moisture meters to find the moisture content of various materials and determine if a structure is dry. We can restore your house and help you salvage some of the possessions the floodwater damaged by cleaning them in our facilities.
