Flood Damage in Your Rockingham and Augusta Homes? Call Us!

Summer storms in Rockingham and Augusta are a common occurrence. Large puffy clouds regularly roll over the area, helping keep the weather cool in the summer. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that clouds can quickly unleash torrents of rains, causing flooding in your home.  

Often flood damage in Rockingham and Augusta homes occurs after heavy storms. If this happens to you, then you need professionals who can quickly work to resolve your issues. Our teams of SERVPRO water damage restoration technicians (WRT) can arrive on your property within hours of your call to begin extracting water. We can utilize industrial-grade wet vacs and pumps to speed up the process. Floods typically consist of Category 3 black water, which can soil absorbent substances, forcing us to discard them. 

As a homeowner, you have several options for mitigating any further damage before SERVPRO crews arrive. Here are some tips we recommend you follow to help reduce damages: 

- For your safety, make sure to wear protective clothing (such as tall rubber boots) before coming into contact with contaminated water. 

- Extract contaminated upholstery pieces from your home so that they can be properly disposed of. 

- Move your furniture out of the floodwaters. 

- Wipe down wooden sections of furniture with a wet rag to help prevent the formation of water lines. 

Once we are present, we can remove absorbent materials such as carpeting that can be more difficult for you to remove on your own. This can be accomplished with the use of carpet removal tools. We can then use air movers and dehumidifiers to pull moisture out of your sub-flooring to fully dry it. 

Additionally, we can identify hidden moisture in your home using moisture sensors after pumping out the floodwater. This allows us to identify areas that require further use of dehumidifiers and air movers to thoroughly dry out.
