Preparation Helps with Flood Water Removal from Affected Tallahassee Homes

Finding your Tallahassee property covered in inches of floodwater is distressing. You should take immediate remedial action instead of wallowing in grief, wondering how or why it happened because every minute that passes increases the secondary damages such water causes. Calling professional restorers to handle the problem can help because they are prepared to handle such incidents.

Scoping the Loss

Although flood water removal from affected Tallahassee properties requires a speedy response, taking time to scope the extent of the loss helps. Scoping helps one get a better overview of the problem, thus determining the best steps to take. Our SERVPRO technicians confirm the areas and contents affected by the floodwaters in your property. We also note whether there is either structural deterioration or soiling as the main effect of the intrusion. Apart from gathering information, scoping also gives our technicians the chance to educate the homeowner on the effects of the loss, steps needed for mitigation, and likely outcomes, thus helping manage expectations.

Having the Right Equipment

Removing floodwater requires the right equipment. More than one type of extraction equipment might be necessary, depending on the situation. Variation might depend on the volume of the standing water, the type of floor surface, and accessibility issues. We prepare our SERVPRO teams to handle any outcome involving floodwaters, so we have a variety of pumps, including:

• Self-priming trash pumps
• Electric submersible pumps
• Truck-mounted water-extractors
• High-pressure pumps

Dealing with hazardous materials

Flooding readily contaminates the areas it affects with biohazards, chemicals, and other contaminants. Porous materials such as carpets, pad, insulation, and drywall affected by the water are unsalvageable. Therefore, water removal also includes removing and disposing of such materials. Our SERVPRO technicians handle such removal with ease.

Floodwater removal may seem like an easy task but can turn to a herculean task due to inadequate preparation. Call SERVPRO of Central Tallahassee at (850) 765-5706 to send a prepared restoration crew. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.
