SERVPRO will Help you to Restore your House to its Pre-loss State After a Storm

A storm has caused damage to my residence, including flooding and wind damage. I need a restoration firm that can handle the damage to prevent it from spreading to parts that had not been initially affected. Which firm can assist me?

SERVPRO is the right firm to contact if you find yourself in this predicament and would like to tackle it quickly. We’ve got well-trained technicians who are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to perform storm flood removal in your Seatle property. Our flood damage repair process may include:

• Safety precautions
• Sorting out
• Cleaning and decontamination
• Ventilation and dehumidification

Safety precautions

We can ensure your safety and that of those residing in your house. Turning off gas lines and electricity helps prevent short-circuiting and a break out of a fire. We also wear personal protective equipment when accessing the building.

Sorting out

Our SERVPRO technicians can sort through the damaged materials. We dispose of those damaged beyond repair and salvage those with minimal damage.

Cleaning and decontamination

SERVPRO technicians can remove the dirt and silt on the building’s floor. We can also use powered sprayers to spray antibacterial products directly to the affected surfaces to kill the bacteria that the floodwater brought in.

Ventilation and dehumidification

Our technicians use air movers to expedite drying time and improve evaporation at the surface level. If the lower part of several walls is wet and involves damp drywall behind baseboards, we can position enough air movers to create a vortex of circular airflow around the walls. We maintain the vortex by placing air movers near each wall at a 15 to a 45-degree angle. Our SERVPRO team also uses dehumidifiers to remove water vapor from your home, ensuring thorough drying.
