WHY FLOODS HAPPEN

Basements are the lowest point in a home and tend to flood first during any kind of water emergency. When the unexpected happens, we’re onsite within 2-4 hours to restore your home as quickly as possible. With rapid response, your floors, walls and personal property can often be restored. Water intrusions can occur in basements from sources inside and outside the structure.

Excessive rain or snow melt can oversaturate the ground, resulting in hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure occurs when moisture outside of the basement or foundational wall exceeds the pressure inside. Water will naturally seek the lower pressure, resulting in foundational leaks and even cracks.

What is Water Mitigation?

Water mitigation is the reduction or prevention of water damage to property. This can be done through prevention, like keeping gutters clear and ensuring that downspouts are directed away from the foundation or through response to an unforeseen event like flooding, broken pipes, or other sources of water intrusion.

Our Flood Damage Mitigation Process:

  • ServiceMaster uses proprietary products developed exclusively for ServiceMaster Restore.
  • We remove the water quickly and efficiently—before the water starts to cause structural damage and secondary water problems.
  • Out team brings in dehumidifiers that work to remove the moisture and start moving the air to help to dry out the basement.
  • Once the water and the moisture are completely removed, we will clean, sanitize and treat the area with an antimicrobial agent to make sure that mold does not form.
  • We work with you through every step of the process and often work with your insurance company to get your claims processed as quickly as possible.

What to do after a flood

If your property has suffered flood damage, it's crucial to act quickly to minimize the damage. At ServiceMaster Restoration by FUSON, we understand that flood cleanup can be challenging, thats why we've compiled a list of five essential tips to guide you through the process after a flood.

1. Check for Safety Hazards

If you have flood insurance, contact your insurance company to report the flood damage in your home. After that, begin evaluating the damage. To stay safe, consider these questions:

Is your home structurally secure?

  • Contact our restoration experts for a safety inspection. Water damage can compromise your home's foundations, floors, supporting beams, and ceilings.

Is the power still on?

  • If you can safely access your breaker box, turn off the power before coming into contact with standing water. If not, call your local power company for assistance.

Is there a gas leak?

  • Avoid entering your home if you smell gas. Gas leaks are dangerous and should be handled by professionals. Notify your utility company immediately.

Is the flood water contaminated?

  • Contaminated floodwaters may contain sewage or harmful chemicals that pose health risks. Seek professional help to assess the damage and begin the cleanup process.

2. Remove Items Within Your Reach

Remove as many belongings as possible once it's safe to enter your home. Even items not directly in contact with water can be damaged by increased humidity and moisture. The less exposure to water, the more likely they can be repaired or restored. Exercise caution when handling electronics to avoid electric shocks.

3. Extract Water and Prevent Mold

To remove excess water, use a wet vacuum or submersible pump, depending on the water level and whether the room is carpeted. Prevent mold growth by keeping humidity levels low. Open windows, run fans, and use dehumidifiers to promote ventilation and expedite drying. Professional drying equipment can significantly accelerate this process.

4. Clean, Sanitize, and Restore

After drying out the water-damaged areas:

  • Clean and sanitize the affected areas to prevent the growth of mold and microorganisms.
  • Wash and sanitize anything touched by floodwaters. Use different techniques for floors, countertops, carpets, furniture, clothes, and personal belongings.
  • Assess the damage to determine what needs cleaning and what requires replacement.

5. Keep a Running Inventory

Maintain a careful record of all damages, including photographs, videos, and estimates. Keep all receipts for restoration and repairs. These documents will be necessary for insurance claims. Our Midland flood damage restoration experts can assist with this process.
