SERVPRO Flood Restoration Pros Remediate Moisture, Bacteria, and Debris 

Home flooding in Patchogue and other areas in the US potentially impacts millions of homes per year. Worse still, several million more homes in at-risk areas are not yet designated on Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood maps.

Fortunately, SERVPRO professionals can respond to Patchogue homeowners’ flood damage cleanup needs with 24/7 service performed to Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC) standards. Restoration technologies ensure flood damage and contaminants are removed from the affected residence. 

Drying Bedroom Flooding with Restoration Strategies

Removing solid debris and unsalvageable materials from a property is essential for successful restoration. SERVPRO professionals dressed in personal protective equipment (PPE) can perform this service to keep homeowners safe. When carpeting and mattresses are saturated, these items require disposal, as technicians cannot guarantee they are free of contaminants like sewage, pests, or chemical runoff.

• After removing debris and performing necessary controlled demolition, SERVPRO professionals focus on extracting and drying moisture. Before extraction, unsanitary surfaces may be sprayed with an EPA-registered biocide to halt bacterial growth and lessen odors.
• Water extraction may take several rounds to remediate moisture to levels that drying equipment can handle in a timely fashion.
• Air movers and dehumidifiers coordinate to pull up remaining moisture and isolate it for disposal while drying the space.

While some flooding can be remediated with on-site cleaning and drying, there are many instances where contents may require movement from the property to an approved SERVPRO warehouse during cleanup. The firm’s inventory process, both digital and on paper, keeps contents well-organized and easy to access for when homeowners need to access the warehouse to retrieve these items.
