One Convenience of Using SERVPRO for Water Damage Repairs Is Elimination of Delays

After a storm damages your Coram property, the desire to clean and renovate it is high. However, the obstacles preventing such remediation from commencing in good time can also be many. Instead of delaying, you should probably seek professional assistance.

Professionals can help expedite flood damage restoration at Coram properties since they have the technical skills and other resources that can help overcome obstacles easily. SERVPRO also presents an additional advantage since we have extensive experience helping homeowners recover from flooding. Therefore we understand what challenges to expect and how to address them.

Common issues that precipitate delays after a flooding incident include:

• Presence of contaminants such as raw sewage and chemicals
• Physical or electrical hazards
• Presence of large debris such as tree branches

The issues can cause little delays or extend into longer durations like weeks or even months. Time passage is not as trivial as it might seem since it can lead to severe problems such as permanent wood damage through cupping, twisting, or rotting. The cost of replacing structural materials or furniture due to extreme yet avoidable deterioration is high. 

Carrying out timely flood restoration takes several things, some of which you might not expect. The ability to venture into the loss site safely immediately after the incident is one such aspect. Our SERVPRO teams can manage that because our technicians are equipped with various PPE, including hard hats, rubber boots, and heavy-duty gloves that protect them from contaminants, electrical hazards, and physical dangers such as falling objects. 

Other aspects that help expedite water damage repairs include:

• Use of state-of-the-art water removal equipment
• Cleaning using advanced methods and equipment such as rotating brushes
• Restoring slightly damaged materials using methods such as sanding
