To Protect Your Tallahassee Home After a Flood, SERVPRO Does More Than Just Remove Water

So Why Is SERVPRO The Best Option?

When it comes to flood damage in Tallahassee homes, removing the water is only the first step. SERVPRO technicians is a full-service operation that removes water, dries the structure, eliminates the health threats, odors, and performs repairs where needed.

How Can Your Technicians Perform All of These Tasks?

Each member of our response team trains extensively in remediating the effects of disasters like floods in Tallahassee. Our training meets the industry standards set by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Our office also has access to the latest restoration equipment and cleaning agents as part of a nationwide network of locally-owned franchises.

Take decontamination as an example. Floodwater contains some of the soil, fertilizers, animal waste, and every other contaminant it passed over before entering your home. Traces of each one remain in your home after removing the water. To eliminate damage to the surfaces of your home and personal property, our technicians spray an anti-bacterial cleaner on them and then carefully wipe down each one using a sponge or dry cloth.

What About the Musty Odor I Can Smell in My Home?

The cleaners SERVPRO uses eliminates most odors left behind by the contaminants. If the floodwater stayed in place for more than a few hours, it can work its way behind drywall and other paneling where it can cause inert mold spores to expand and begin to grow. To eliminate the odors released by the mold, technicians dry out the water with air movers that force the warm air into the wall space. Once it dries, they use another anti-bacterial cleaner to kill the mold and eliminate any lingering odors.
