SERVPRO Can Provide the Resources You Need to Respond Quickly, Protect and Renovate Your Home

When there is a storm in St. Lucie West, properties can be flooded by rising groundwater or wall and roof breaches that let water in. Whatever the cause of flooding, finding a way to resolve it immediately is essential for the wellbeing of the occupants and the safety of the structure.

The intensity of an incident and the response mounted in its aftermath influences the impact of flood damage on St. Lucie West properties. Professional restoration companies like SERVPRO can help ensure you observe all the necessary protocols when executing a response, thus realizing appropriate outcomes.

Some of the essential resources that ease flood management include:

• Capacity to protect the affected property
• Having the right tools
• Ability to act quickly

After flooding breaches a home, that is not the end. So you do not have the freedom to sit and wait. Your property is highly vulnerable at that stage and requires sufficient protection. Action is necessary to safeguard contents and the structure from further deterioration. Our SERVPRO technicians can install roof tarps, cover items with drop cloths, or board up openings. We also have safety equipment like Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters, which ensure safe electrical equipment usage during restoration.

Apart from safeguarding equipment, having the right ones is also essential. Flood restoration tasks include opening up walls and extracting water trapped in subfloors. Without the right tools, completing such tasks can be extremely challenging or might lead to unnecessary damages.

Some indispensable tools when addressing flooding include:

• Ventilation equipment for drying cavities
• Cutting tools such as circular saws
• Drying mats for extracting water from floor cavities

Even with all the skills and tools, the outcome of a flooding incident can be dire if you delay action. Time allows extensive moisture migration and proliferation of contaminants, among other issues.
