Extracting Basement Flood Damage in Dover

Industry estimates speculate that 14,000 people in the US experience water-related emergencies at home or work every day. On top of that, 98% of basements in the United States suffer some water damage during their lifetime. Not only is the frequency of water damage staggering with basement areas, but the cost can be quite high, particularly for finished basements.

If your Dover basement requires flood damage mitigation, SERVPRO professionals are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to mitigate damage and return your home to a preloss condition. This IICRC-certified firm strives to provide homeowners with thorough cleaning solutions that minimize damage while maximizing safety for homeowners after a disaster occurs.

SERVPRO Has the Tools for the Job

SERVPRO professionals have access to a variety of cutting-edge technologies that allow for rapid, high-quality mitigation of flood damage, including: 

• State-of-the-art moisture detection and measurement equipment, such as infrared cameras and thermohygrometers, evaluate surface moisture levels, and establish drying goals for affected materials.
• High-powered extraction equipment for a variety of applications, including portable back-mounted extractors for hard-to-reach areas, submersible gas-powered sump pumps, and truck-mounted pumps to maximize water removal potential in large areas.
• Industrial-grade centrifugal air movers and dehumidifiers to address drying needs for both porous surfaces and structural materials.
• Odor removal equipment that minimizes airborne contaminants as well as EPA-registered, OSHA-approved disinfectants and antimicrobials.

How SERVPRO Saves the Day

If your finished basement has been affected by flooding and your access to power is limited, SERVPRO technicians can provide their own power sources for extraction materials, drying equipment, and deodorization tools. To dress damage to walls, technicians can make flood cuts as well as drill small weep holes to maximize ventilation while drying wall cavities. 

If your basement has a concrete floor, SERVPRO professionals can use industrial-grade cleaners in combination with mops, squeegees, wet-dry vacuums, and extraction tools to minimize chalky surface bloom from this porous flooring. Other porous items, such as fabrics and furniture, can be moved out of flood-damaged areas for disinfection, drying, or disposal at the discretion of homeowners and insurance adjusters until structural elements of your basement are dried to completion.
