Storm Damage Cleanup and Sanitation Practices Preserve Your Bellevue, Washington Home
Professional Mercer Island Area Storm Cleanup and Odor Control
Storm damage can hit Mercer Island homes hard, especially during heavy rains and other inclement weather events throughout the year. Water entering the home can invite odors and potential bacterial contamination that require expert intervention. At AdvantaClean of The Eastside, we specialize in storm damage cleanup to address the visible mess and the unseen risks to your home's structural soundness.
Common Causes of Stormwater Damage in Your Home
High winds and rain can exploit the slightest weaknesses in your home's defenses. Loose seals around windows and doors, cracked skylights, missing shingles, and improperly installed flashing are all frequent sources of leaks that can cause storm damage to your property. Blocked or overwhelmed gutters and downspouts also force water to back up under roofing or down walls. These vulnerabilities often lead to interior water damage behind walls and lingering dampness that can worsen if left untreated.
Why You Can Trust Our Professionals to Take Care of Your Storm Cleanup Needs
Homeowners may attempt to mop up visible water or use household fans, but this is often insufficient for removing water completely. DIY cleanup overlooks hidden pockets of moisture inside walls, beneath flooring, or within HVAC systems that can contribute to conditions that allow the damage to worsen. Without proper drying and disinfection, bacteria can thrive, and unpleasant, musty odors can persist. Our certified water restoration technicians, trained to IICRC standards, understand moisture migration and microbial growth patterns and use careful measurement and planning in combination with effective tools tailored to water removal to remediate storm damage in full.
Our Commitment to Comprehensive Service Eliminates Storm Damage Presence in Your Home
Our team can address storm-related water damage thoroughly with tools and protocols like:
-
Water extraction uses professional-grade pumps, extractors, and vacuums to remove standing water and minimize spread quickly. We tailor our water removal tools to the materials in your home that have been impacted by water.
-
Deployment of HEPA-filtered air scrubbers and dehumidifiers to clean airborne contaminants and control humidity.
-
Application of EPA-registered antimicrobials to disinfect floors, walls, and contents affected by stormwater.
-
Thermal imaging, thermohygrometers, and pinless moisture sensors create a comprehensive picture of the moisture and humidity present in the home and are used throughout drying to make sure the property is restored to pre-damage moisture levels that preserve structural integrity.
-
Odor neutralization treatments using hydroxyl generators or ultra-low volume fogging systems remove odors at the molecular level instead of masking them.
