When flooding occurs, we work fast to protect your home or business with repairs and reconstruction it might need.

Effective Water Mitigation for Flood Damage

Flooding can be one of the most rapidly forming and destructive forces some homes face in their lifetime. With the potential for severe coastal weather, several in Port St. Lucie might still experience this disaster. Our SERVPRO professionals can help with rapid mitigation solutions.

Removing Standing Water Threats 

After a storm, water mitigation for Port St. Lucie means overcoming the pressing obstacles that could continue to damage the structure. Rapid action is often necessary for compromised properties after a flood, the most crucial of these being surface water removal. Extraction equipment is readily available to our SERVPRO team in different forms, including powerful tools that can handle solids, debris, and several inches of standing water.

Repairs Needed During Mitigation

We work fast to protect your home or business with repairs and reconstruction it might need. Often the earliest actions are meant to prevent more significant harm to the structure or the continued spread of floodwater damage. Some of these examples of emergency construction services could include:

• Controlled Demolition- Damaged building materials should be removed, especially when contamination is a threat. 
• Board-Up Services - We eliminate the possibility of further damage from the outside with temporary tarping and board-up. 
• Plumbing Repairs - We work to identify anywhere in the plumbing network that might require repair and replacement. 

The Need for Flood Cuts 

Flood cutting is vital in protecting installed building elements by minimizing the needed controlled demolition. Exposed materials must be removed, but with only a couple of inches of standing water, hand tools and saws can eliminate a surface wall system's bottom foot or two. This cutting provides access to the structural cavity without the total panel removal, which might cost customers more to replace.

After a storm, it is essential to focus on whatever actions mitigate loss and protect the property as much as possible. SERVPRO of Port St. Lucie NE professionals can help you get your home back to preloss condition with prompt and direct emergency services. Call us today at (772) 266-2350.
