Flood Damage

SERVPRO of Rockingham and Augusta Counties is Here to Help Restore Your Home after Flood Damage

When a severe storm rolls into town, it is possible that it will bring flood damage with it. Storms often have aggressive winds and heavy rain. In fact, it is not uncommon for high-speed winds to knock over trees and other structures.The young tree in your front yard can easily smash a window if it is uprooted and thrown against your home. The broken window can allow gallons of water into your home.

A storm can leave several inches of damaging flood waters in your home. Water removal of this degree is not a job that any ordinary homeowner should have to tackle alone. Storms can easily carry dangerous toxins in their waters by tearing up sewage pipes and chemical containers. When storms bring black water with them, the cleanup process should be left to the professionals.

Our skilled technicians can arrive at your home as quickly as possible to begin the clean-up process. Our technicians use advanced equipment to remove the flood water, including extractors and pumps. We strive to get the water out of your home with speed and efficiency, and these tools allow us to do just that.

After SERVPRO removes the water, we clean up and remove any debris left by the storm. It is not uncommon for twigs, rocks, broken glass, and garden decorations to get inside of your home. If black water has soaked through your carpets, we work to remove it as quickly as possible, as the presence of black water can be detrimental to one’s health.

SERVPRO can then use tools like ventilation box fans, air movers, and refrigerant dehumidifiers to dry out the structure of your home in order to prevent mold growth.

If your home becomes flooded after a storm, do not hesitate. Call SERVPRO of Rockingham and Augusta Counties at (540) 433-6100.
