SERVPRO Technicians in New Providence Can Help Homeowners Handle the Storm Flood Damage.
Flood Water can leave property owners homeless and in a devastated state. If professionals do not restore the home, the water can cause long-term damage to the affected property. Therefore, it is essential to involve certified experts like SERVPRO technicians to fix your New Providence property to its preloss state.
Why should homeowners hire a certified professional?
Hiring a professional restorer to handle the storm flood damage in your New Providence property is essential to minimize and prevent damage from becoming permanent. Our technicians are certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), an independent organization that promotes ethical standards for cleaning and restoration firms. An IICRC certified restorer offers reliable and effective restoration services. Our team of technicians has decades of experience in the restoration industry and access to top-notch equipment and tools that help us handle flood damage of any magnitude.
How can homeowners minimize damage?
Once flooding occurs in your property, it is not advisable to begin the restoration process without involving a professional. However, there are essential tasks you can perform to help minimize the damage, including:
- Moving wet clothing, furniture, and other fabrics to a dry area.
- Placing plastic bags under the stands of large furniture to avoid wicking.
- Moving paintings and pictures from damaged walls to a dry and safe place.
How long does it take to dry a flooded property?
With conventional drying methods, it can take weeks to dry the affected property completely. However, with our innovative technology, we can handle the same task in a few days.
We can use an electric submersible pump to extract the excess water in your property if it is two inches deep. However, if the water levels are lower, we can use portable extractors to remove the water. The equipment has three components, including a heater, a water pump, and a vacuum cleaner. Our SERVPRO team can then take steps to dry your property thoroughly by using air movers and dehumidifiers. We know how to manipulate humidity levels and temperature to create optimum drying conditions without causing secondary destruction.
