Pompton Lakes Flood-Damaged Basement? Easy, call SERVPRO--"Like it never even happened."

Not All Storm-Related Events Require Professional Help--But, in Pompton Lakes--Count on SERVPRO

Did you know statistically, structures in this area of New Jersey have a one-in-three chance of experience flood damage throughout a standard 30-year mortgage?

There are proactive measures Pompton Lakes homeowners can take to avoid flood damage, such as directing water away from the property during heavy rains through landscaping and the installation of drainage to handle heavy rains. However, flash floods have the potential to enter homes and cause loss, even with precautionary measures.

Why SERVPRO?

Groundwater should always undergo professional removal due to the potential for contaminants or sewage. Also, once the interior flooring has exposure to water, the subflooring and sheetrock may require both controlled demolition and drying. The technicians have extensive training to assist homeowners in lessening loss and getting the most favorable outcome after this type of water damage.

Flood Loss Gets Uglier Before it Gets Better

The use of controlled demolition is a standard part of the restoration process. Once water enters the home, it can delaminate floorcoverings, which then require removal. Carpet also does not fare well against groundwater and requires disposal if saturated.

Once water wicks into sheetrock, the timer is on before it requires removal as once buckled or warped, it has zero restoration potential through drying. SERVPRO technicians measure above the water line and cleanly cut it away. This action (flood cutting) opens up the wall and flooring if necessary for complete drying.

Monitored Water Extraction and Drying
The technicians have a diverse selection of moisture detection equipment for various surfaces to assist them in finding all areas of water migration as well as monitoring the drying process and ensure the affected areas attain pre-set drying goals.

Make Ready for Rebuilding
When the technicians complete the drying and disinfection of the property, it is ready for any needed repairs and reconstruction so life can get back to normal.
