Flood damage in your home can cause long lasting issues that are hard to remedy. Contact SERVPRO for professional remediation and mitigation services.

Flood Damage Restoration is a Task that Requires Advanced Equipment and Expertise of a Reliable Restorer in Clifton Like SERVPRO.

Floodwater in your Clifton property can soak into your carpet and pad, seep into your furniture, warp your wooden floor, and cause mold growth within 24 hours. However, if you involve a reliable restorer immediately, the unfortunate takes place, we can minimize further damage from occurring. SERVPRO technicians can use innovative equipment to restore your property to its pre-flood state.

What does flood damage restoration involve?

It is crucial to act quickly to remove the potentially lasting effects of storm flood damage in your Clifton property. Flood damage restoration involves several steps, including:

• Floodwater extraction from flooring and other affected surfaces.
• Thorough property cleaning and decontamination
• Using specialty equipment to dry out moisture
• Mold removal 
• Deodorization

How do you remove water?

To avoid potential secondary damages from occurring in your residence, SERVPRO technicians can extract the floodwater in your home effectively. We can use portable pumps to ensure fast and efficient flood water extraction. However, before setting up a pump, we make several considerations, including:

• If the fluid contains solids
• The water level in your home
• The vertical distance that the water must be carried to reach the extraction equipment.

If we discover that the water levels are high and contain soils, we can use a self-priming trash pump for extraction. The diesel-powered equipment can pass solids of up to 1 ¼". Using a 4" to 24" hose, the machine can move between 1000 and 16000 gallons of water per minute.

Does the drying process take long?

With our edge-cutting techniques and advanced equipment, the drying process may take a few days. Even after conducting thorough water extraction, the moisture left behind can cause severe damage to your property. Wood and concrete soak up surprising amounts of water. Drying such materials can take a while.

We can use several axial air movers to increase airflow in the property. The equipment brings in dry air from outside to replace the humid air in the property. That increases the rate of evaporation to speed up drying.

Taking quick action after flooding occurs in your property is essential since water can cause irreversible damage to your home and valuables. Contact SERVPRO of Clifton at (973) 928-3705 for quick restoration. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.
