24/7 SERVPRO Kitchen Flood Restoration

Flood damage is almost inevitable for many US homes, regardless of where the property is located on the Federal Emergency Management Association's flood maps. These disasters require fast cleanup to minimize the risk of mold growth and damage that can impact a Bloomingdale home's crawl space, foundation, and other essential structures.

SERVPRO flood restoration technicians respond to Bloomingdale homeowners' needs with EPA-registered biocides and commercial-grade flood cleanup tools. Technicians can also perform necessary demolition, debris removal, and rebuilding services to preserve a flood-damaged home per the owner's insurance policy.

Remediating kitchen flooding with standing water extraction tools

Standing water in a kitchen can be tough to remove in full without assistance. SERVPRO professionals can address standing water with tools like:

• Specialized portable and truck-mounted extraction tools
• Wet/dry vacuums
• Mops and squeegees
• Gas-powered sump pumps

Combined with debris removal and demolition, these tools can remove flood contaminants from a property without putting residents at risk during cleanup. SERVPRO can even provide power sources for equipment if the impacted home has no power or electrical systems have been contaminated by water.

Flood restoration through extraction entails SERVPRO technicians in PPE removing solid debris and sanitizing with pump or trigger sprayers that deploy EPA-registered biocides. This process lessens the chance of contamination during cleanup. After removing solid waste and soils, water removal with sump pumps and other extraction tools can begin in earnest. 

Sump pumps are used in areas where water is 2 inches or deeper, while extractors are utilized in saturated areas that do not have deep pools of standing water. After multiple passes with extraction tools and several inspections, SERVPRO techs can move on to structural drying with air movers and dehumidification units.
