Why You Should Contact SERVPRO For Flood Damage Cleanup In Mount Kisco

Flooding is a relatively common occurrence in Mount Kisco, and it can happen because of heavy rains that cause problems such as roof leaks and leaks through walls at areas such as windows and doors. Flooding can also occur if water seeps through basement walls. The water can cause severe destruction if you do not take immediate steps to extract it and dry your property.

If you have encountered flood damage in your Mount Kisco property, give SERVPRO a call immediately to evaluate the destruction and begin the restoration work. Floodwater can penetrate building materials and furnishings in your home quickly, so a fast response is crucial. Our rapid response to emergencies helps prevent further damage from occurring and increases the chances of restoring your property to preloss condition. We prioritize on safety when performing flood damage restoration. Some things we do to ensure safety include:

    •    Checking ceilings to ensure that they are not likely to collapse because of being loaded with water.

    •    Ensuring that there are no electrical shock hazards and all pugs have ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs).

    •    Checking subfloors to ensure that they have not deteriorated to the point of being unsafe.

    •    Wearing personal protective gear like gloves, boots, and goggles.

Our team uses top-of-the-line equipment and techniques to extract water from a home. We use powerful portable or truck-mounted pumps to remove as much water as possible to speed up drying. After extracting the water, we use air moving and dehumidifying equipment to dry the affected areas. Floodwater usually contains microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Our crew can clean and disinfect every item and surface that came into contact with the floodwater using EPA-approved antimicrobial products to ensure that your house is safe for inhabitation.

Flooding usually has a devastating effect on personal possessions. Our SERVPRO crew gathers up the flood-damaged items and separates them into salvageable and non-salvageable categories. We evaluate the contents exposed to high humidity or water for cleaning. For instance, wood furniture that is exposed to high humidity may require cleaning and polishing. Our crew also checks storage areas to determine if there are contents that require cleaning and deodorizing. Electronic equipment may require specialized cleaning and drying services to restore it to its original condition. We can subcontract electronics restoration to experts who specialize in electronic damage resulting from water damage. These experts can eradicate corrosion and replace the ruined components to restore the functionality of damaged electronics.

Our SERVPRO crew also deodorizes a house to eliminate the foul odors associated with flood damage. We can achieve this using air scrubbers, which pull air through HEPA filtration to remove airborne contaminants from the air.
