Flood Extraction Methods for Homes in Tallahassee Pave the Way for Restoration Work

Once an area experiences a flood in Tallahassee, homes look like they can never become suitable for living in again. SERVPRO helps homeowners restore their homes from the worst disasters, and we start by being Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Immediately after your home in Tallahassee floods, we can start restoring your property with flood extraction techniques. Restoration work comes with many dangers, and extracting the water covering many of these helps make things safer for our restoration crews.

Pumping the unwanted water out with the use of our submersible pumps means we can extract water from every area of your home, no matter how deep the water rose. When crawl spaces retain water, this can cause health effects in occupants because of the elevated humidity and the increase in airborne pathogens, including mold.

Because crawl spaces also hold any silt or other sedimentation that the floodwaters pushed in, we remove these deposits by hand when necessary. Sand and mud can retain moisture, making it harder to dry these areas out later. The same deposits also exist on the ground floor of your house after a flood, although below-ground level areas might contain considerably more.

Where carpets and porous floorings like laminate and wooden tile cover your floors, these often become inundated with not only water but deposits of sediment. We remove the carpeting in cut sections that we roll up and place in bags. The padding, however, often needs removing with the use of a shovel.

Floor coverings that contain wooden pieces can become so saturated that their glue fails. The jumbled pieces also get cleaned up and removed with the help of our shovels. We do our best to leave the floor as smooth as possible to help the installation of new flooring happen more smoothly. Saturated sections of drywall need cut away to reveal the framework in walls, and these, like the flooring pieces, find their way into doubled bags.

SERVPRO of North Leon County wants your family to be able to live in your own home, free of the stress that comes with a life-changing disaster. Our water extraction and removal methods make this possible and in a rapid manner. Contact us when you need a caring, professional company who hires qualified professionals.
