SERVPRO of Wayne knows the lengths to take for your water damage after a storm.

Containing Flood Effects Before They Destroy West Milford Homes 

No matter what conditions have allowed flooding within your West Milford residence, the situation can quickly get out of control without the appropriate mitigation tactics and containment strategies. While homeowners often consider cleanup and recovery to be projects they can manage independently, flood effects can become too widespread and detrimental to your property to overcome without specialized equipment, training, and qualified personnel. 

With fast response to all flood damage situations, your West Milford home is in good hands with our SERVPRO professionals. We have considerable experience in disaster relief scenarios. Combined with our extensive training from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), we are knowledgeable leaders in the industry, helping customers recover quickly after even significant flood damage incidents within their homes. 

Containment During Flood Damage Restoration 

Containment is a vital component to recovery and fast restoration of your property after widespread flood effects. As water damage can continue to move throughout the house, saturating construction materials, contents, and structural elements, we must employ tactics to slow the spread of these effects throughout the residence. In many cases, spreading moisture can get addressed quickly with the calculated placement of drying tools like our air movers and dehumidifiers. These machines can steadily draw moisture out of affected materials and surfaces, preventing them from allowing water damage to spread further. 

This aspect of recovery and restoration also helps to prevent the spread and the facilitation of mold. Spores and contaminants that can arrive with the floodwater can also spread throughout your home without the appropriate preventative measures. Using our SERVPRO air scrubbers, hydroxyl generators, and ozone machines, we can begin filtering out these contaminants and other threats to improve indoor air quality after flooding. 

Overcoming flood damage in your home begins with an effective mitigation and containment initiative performed by our qualified and highly experienced technicians.
