It only takes a small amount of floodwater to cause a lot of damage.

You Cannot Win the Waiting Game with Flood Damage

The sound of thunder and the subsequent flashes of lightning bring out different reactions in people. Some residents enjoy a storm as it passes over Fish Hawk; others hate it. One thing everyone dislikes is flood damage, even minor flooding. If your home sustains inundation from rainwater, you must react quickly.

The fresh scent after a storm is a pleasant treat in Fish Hawk, but flood damage is something nobody needs. SERVPRO assists with even slight flooding. Repeated events like this can lead up to significant damage. Protect your home - don’t wait until the damage becomes severe. 

Even without repetitive flooding, damaged areas continually worsen. They cannot get better nor restore themselves without help. SERVPRO is that help. We also scale our services to your exact needs. Just like no job is too large, the same is true that no job is too small.

It only takes a tiny bit of flood water to cause:

• A bad odor,
• Dry rot to start in on carpeting, and
• Floorboards to warp, buckle or loosen.

Flooding is notorious for smelling foul because of the tainted mixture of chemicals and soils soaking into your home. One type of flood damage seems to worsen in one area but affects the entire house. Scents travel, and anything within the area can tend to pick up these unwanted scents.

Since flooding brings in filthy water, IICRC regulations require replacing flooded carpets. Small areas, however, can be cut out and an accent piece installed as a replacement. Our carpeting specialists can repair or install new carpeting after our mitigation team gets everything cleaned and dry.

Water might seep underneath wooden floorboards, making it difficult to ascertain how much water entered your residence. This moisture can sit underneath and cause boards to swell and curl or cup. We use specific techniques to undo this damage.
