SERVPRO Offers Fast, Reliable, and Efficient Flood Damage Restoration to Monroe Homes

One of the immediate hazards of flood damage to your Monroe home is the risk of developing microbial contamination. Professional restorers like SERVPRO use professional water damage restoration products to control the situation.  

SERVPRO techs use products like disinfectants and sanitizers to prevent the development or limit microbe growth after flood damage to your Monroe home. However, application of antimicrobials is performed only after achieving the following-

• Removal of the moisture by drying the environment 
• Removal of the contaminated material 

What professional products do SERVPRO techs use during flood restoration of Monroe homes?  

Most common products that SERVPRO techs use to control the microbial contamination in your flood-damaged Monroe home include- 

• Quaternary ammonium compounds
• Phenols
• Alcohols
• Chlorines 

Although many chemical agents are antimicrobials, most of them won’t kill all types of microbes encountered in an average flood situation. SERVPRO techs are trained in using these chemicals and understand the risks and benefits associated with the use of these products. The goal is to control the growth of these microbes and not to eliminate them completely; microbes always exist within our indoor environments.   

Are chemical products always necessary after water damage? 

When water is present due to a water damage incident like ceiling leaks and burst pipes, microbes always grow given enough time and proper conditions. Even sanitary water situations can get contaminated if left unmitigated for two to three days. SERVPRO only uses antimicrobial products when they are warranted according to the IICRC guidelines as put forth by the EPA.
