What Happens to Flood Damaged Items in Your Dover Home?

It can be challenging to contend with flooding in your Dover home, especially when it comes with considerable structural concerns. With multiple symptoms and effects to face, most homeowners can appreciate their need for professional restoration technicians to work quickly to protect property as best as they can. Many of these same homeowners do not realize that with teams like ours, structural recovery is only the beginning of the work that we do to restore your home and your life after a flood emergency.

Property is much more than building materials and space. When flood damage occurs in your Dover home, you can start appreciating the various items and contents that now become at risk for irreparable damages. The belongings within your house can quickly become ruined by standing and rising waters, especially when water comes with the threat of contamination and bacteriological concerns. Our SERVPRO professionals responding to the emergency can work to protect these items with our pack-out process.

Assessment of a Water Damaged Home

With the initial assessment of the property, when our mitigation team arrives at your address, our contents department can walk through the home and earmark belongings, furniture, and other items for removal and storage off-site. There are many steps that these possessions undergo once they reach our SERVPRO facility, and it can prepare them for their later return to your restored residence.

Water Damage Restoration for Personal Belongings

First and foremost, our team works to dry out damaged belongings removed from the house to prevent secondary effects like mold growth from taking root. In some cases, antimicrobial agents must get introduced to make surfaces uninhabitable for mold spores in the environment. Additionally, deodorization and disinfection are conventional approaches before these items go into storage in our controlled-climate facility.

While you might think that restoration is all about bringing your home back to pre-flood condition, there are more steps than many homeowners realize.
