Why SERVPRO Involvement in Crossville Flood Damage Can Speed Recovery

One of the significant challenges facing Crossville homeowners coping with flooding is the inevitable tendency of floodwaters to migrate widely throughout a home. Exacerbating the issue is the contaminated nature of floodwaters. The heavy rains of a storm can mix with chemicals, decaying animals, and industrial residues. If sanitary drainage clogs up, raw sewage also becomes a concern. Our certifications and experience working with hazardous waste are why we are a good match for the job.

Flood Mitigation and Remediation Safety Measures

Slick surfaces and direct exposure to pathogens are two ways that flood damage can endanger Crossville homeowners. We consider these complications carefully as we develop your project management plan. Our technicians wear personal protective equipment (PPE) as they shovel debris and pump out and extract the water. We contain the muck and floodwaters, collecting them for appropriate disposal per local rules and regulations. If the silt and dirt deposited a heavy coating on surfaces, freshwater rinsing helps before cleaning with EPA-registered products. Our resources include negative pressure air scrubbers, installed in the working area to capture airborne debris. The broad array of safety precautions we employ is why our involvement helps limit further concerns.

Controlled Demolition Enhances Mitigation

Despite the messy appearance, the choice we make to employ controlled demolition improves the chances for successful mitigation and remediation. Making flood cuts in drywall several inches above the flood line creates temporary flood damage that is straightforward to rebuild. During the time the cuts are in place reaching and extracting silt and water becomes easier, why SERVPRO plans for and implements them. The access also permits more thorough structural drying.  Air movers are better able to send warmed air behind saturated walls to facilitate the movement of water soaked into a structure into the air as vapor.

Disinfection Is a Required Step

After a thorough cleaning, we take advantage of EPA-registered antimicrobial agents to disinfect the surfaces soaked initially by the floodwaters. The viruses, bacteria, and fungal organisms that put your family at risk when the floodwaters swept in cannot get another chance to contaminate your home. Our persistence in managing these hazardous pathogens is why SERVPRO evidences the patience and knowledge needed to resolve a flood damage emergency safely. 

Our steadfast commitment to following industry best practices plus the possession of the resources to make it happen equals why SERVPRO of Cumberland, Morgan & White Counties receives high praise from customers.
