How Professional Restoration Can Save Your Home with Flood Damage Cleanup
Our Crew Provides More Than Water Removal to Give Lakewood Homeowners Peace of Mind
Flood damage cleanup is a complex, hands-on process that can be hazardous without proper knowledge and equipment. Homeowners can count on certified technicians to exercise their knowledge and experience to render service tailored to Lakewood properties’ structure and layout. Crews like ours can also help smooth the transition from a flooded property to a clean one by aiding with documentation, coordination with insurance adjusters, and microbial remediation measures, including odor control that can handle lingering side effects of flood damage.
When You Should Call for Restoration Assistance After a Flood
You don’t have to wait to hear back from your insurer before securing assistance from a restoration company. We’re available around the clock to address emergencies like flooding and can offer helpful guidance and tips to get you the help you need in compliance with the terms of your coverage. Especially consider contacting us if your home has sustained flood damage for more than 24 hours, the flooding is contaminated by sewage or municipal drains, or there is visible damage to essential parts of your home, such as HVAC and electrical systems. Check your policy to see if it contains any clauses requiring you to take action. This will typically include a specific time frame for when to get in touch while staying compliant with your policy.
How Restoration Technicians Can Secure Flooded Property
We take multiple factors into account when securing a home impacted by flooding and preparing it for restoration, including such considerations as:
-
Hazard assessment, including checking electrical panels and utility lines, as well as locating contamination hazards like sharp objects or unsafe biological materials.
-
Using industrial-grade personal protective equipment (PPE) and containment measures to limit the scope of damage spread and minimize the potential for secondary damage during restoration.
-
Other tasks, such as tarping, board-ups, and pack-up services, can all help secure a damaged property and prepare belongings for more thorough restoration offsite while technicians address structural concerns.
AdvantaClean of The West Side Eliminates Lingering Flood Traces Like Odors
After performing the bulk of cleaning and water removal with commercial-grade tools, we can focus on the more stubborn, subtle signs of flood that linger after mitigation without targeted assistance: malodors. These can result from bacteria, waterlogged materials experiencing degradation, or contaminants in the water. We can address this with tactics like ULV dogging, spraying odor counteractants, cleaning HVAC, and using negative air pressure to control the movement of microbes until the space is thoroughly cleaned and dried enough to remediate their presence to pre-disaster levels that do not leave behind odors.
