Replacing Materials in West Mystic Homes After Flood Damage

7/5/2022 (Permalink)

Flood damage restoration for your Mystic home should be handled by SERVPRO. Our technicians have the training and experience needed for every phase.

Does Flood Damage Require Reconstruction?

Flooding is a devastating threat to area homes. From infiltrating water in the basement to severe storms that allow flooding from the roof, there are many ways that your property could be impacted. Our fast response helps evaluate the need for reconstruction and repairs after flood infiltration.

Assessing the Threat and Reach of Flooding

Flood damage in West Mystic homes can spread rapidly and impact dozens, or even hundreds, of surfaces. It is up to our responding SERVPRO team to evaluate the risk of exposure and catalog loss. When contamination is a concern, directly impacted materials must be considered for removal and replacement.

Controlled Damage Where Necessary

Flooring, wall systems, ceiling assemblies, and other materials exposed to potential contaminants of intruding floodwater should be removed. This is especially true for those porous by composition, so they absorb the water rapidly like drywall and carpeting.

Salvageability of Non-Porous Materials

Non-porous materials can be cleaned, even when exposed to potential contaminants from groundwater infiltration. Our inventory has multiple disinfectants, sanitizing compounds, and agents to overcome bacterial pathogens and other threats. Cleanable surfaces can be plentiful, but common home construction materials include:

• Tile
• Concrete
• Ceramic
• Glass
