Flood Damage in West Monroe Necessitates the Services of a Professional Restoration Company

Considering the many damaging tornadoes, storms, and heavy rain that our region has suffered from recently, it reminds us of the phenomenal destruction flooding may cause to homes. Flooding typically leaves homeowners with the challenge of cleaning up and replacing or repairing damaged structures.  

Being flooded is an awful experience with costly and long-term consequences for everybody concerned. Therefore, using flood damage repair services in West Monroe is imperative. The water damage remediation specialists from SERVPRO can assist you to clean up, dry, and sanitize your home after a flooding incident. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.  

Floodwater can ruin your home if you do not clean it up quickly. It can stagnate, corrode, and ruin the flooring, walls, and your possessions. Floodwater many also come from waterways like rivers, creeks, and bayous, bringing mud and silt from the runoff that can cause sanitation problems when the water recedes. This water can also come through the sewer system and bring all the bacterial and sanitary problems associated with sewer water. We have the equipment and expertise to remove black water and disinfect your home to prevent health issues.  

Our crews can use powerful portable or truck-mounted pumps to extract water from the floors. After removing stagnant water from your property, we can use air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the wet areas. Dehumidifiers are of great help in eliminating moisture, particularly in the closed off spaces like crawl spaces and basements.  

After your home has flooded, it may be necessary to remove certain kinds of flooring like carpet, tile, and vinyl flooring. Carpeted floors, in particular, hold large amounts of water and provide bacteria with a place to breed. Our SERVPRO crews can remove the carpet flooring, discard, and replace it. If your home has hardwood flooring, we can test it to determine how much moisture is in the slab. We can use the injectidry tool to eliminate water and moisture from the flooring. This tool can also extract water from walls and ceilings to accelerate the drying process.
