Call in the Help of SERVPRO to Your Tallahassee Home When You Need Reliable Flood Damage Restoration

Some small showers may turn into a lot of rain that leads to flooding in one or more areas of your home. Regardless of the season, Tallahassee homeowners need to know what to do after a storm to limit the loss and bring their interior back to normal. Severe weather does not have to get you down when you have SERVPRO on your side to help handle the fallout.

What Should I Do When the Storm is Finished?

Once you contact your insurance company to inform them of your flood damage in Tallahassee, you can call our team at SERVPRO. Because safety is always a concern with flooding events, you need to be mindful of standing water that could have electrical charge, fallen power lines due to wind, and slip and fall hazards.

When flooding occurs, skilled restoration technicians handle it best with the right tools and methods. We work to minimize the damage by:

• Remove standing water with pumps, wet/dry vacuums, or squeegees
• Remove absorbent materials contaminated by the flooding, including furniture, carpets and carpet padding, drapes, and more
• Perform flood cuts in the drywall, if necessary, to remove any unsalvageable materials
• Begin drying measures with the help of dehumidifiers and air movers 
• Dispose of any debris or interior belongings harmed by floodwater
• Locate any hidden moisture within walls, behind baseboards, and in small cracks or crevices
• Clean all impacted surfaces within the flood loss zone with EPA-registered agents once drying is complete

No matter the circumstances, any damage from floods or storms is no match when you have trained and prompt professionals at your door with SERVPRO of North Leon County. With one phone call to (850) 536-6599, we can have a crew on your property and ready to get to work.
