Flooding incidents can create a highly disastrous situation for an entire community or affect only a low-lying neighborhood in Metairie. Individual homeowners often need to locate their own mitigation company. Choosing a professional company that uses experienced professionals can make the process much more straightforward while still providing fast and efficient services.
 
Homeowners who need expert flood damage mitigation in Metairie should realize the different problems flooding places on a residential property. The professionals at SERVPRO can explain these issues to affected property owners as they relate to their homes.
 
In addition to the presence of visible water and our work in removing any that remains after floodwaters recede on their own, we also need to eliminate the silt and other soils that entered your home. These can hold onto both moisture and pathogens that can endanger your children and pets. Cutting your carpet and padding into strips for easier removal helps remove a significant amount of what the floodwater deposited on your floors. As soon as our pumps have extracted the necessary amount of water, we begin this part of the mitigation.
 
Cleaning everything that the water touched also eliminates a large number of potential health risks. However, we need to clean things twice. The first time is to remove the physical deposits, and the second time we clean an item is to sanitize its surface. Porous items such as washable items can come clean by soaking in tubs of sanitizing mixtures.
 
Caring for other items that we cannot place in containers means we must clean them of any contaminants and then thoroughly rinse them of both floodwater and cleaning liquids. We might perform this task on-site or at our facility. We always discuss this with you to ensure you remain satisfied with how we perform our work.
 
Getting your home's interior environment back to normal is crucial to stopping these other problems from developing. To make sure the moisture level reaches its most beneficial level, we use moisture readers in various locations of your home. We can detect any areas with hidden moisture and eliminate them. We do not consider a job to be complete until we eliminate all excess moisture.
