If your basement and/or laundry area has flood damage, you need to contact the certified technicians at SERVPRO for effective remediation efforts.

Use Restoration Services After Flood Damage to Your Orlando Home’s Basement

Basements get flooded easily because heavy rain and flood waters enter them easily through cracks in the foundation and seepage. Extensive basement flooding can cause significant damage to the building materials, flooring, and items in the basement. It can also lead to mold growth, which can cause health effects.

If the basement of your home has sustained flood damage in Orlando, call a company that offers flood damage restoration promptly to prevent further destruction. A restoration company like SERVPRO can begin the remediation immediately after assessing the damage. You do not have to wait several days for the restoration to start after the initial evaluation. Our technicians are certified in IICRC water restoration and applied structural drying protocols, and are aware of the importance of removing water and drying a structure quickly.

SERVPRO franchise professionals have advanced equipment for extracting flood water from a basement. If the water is several inches deep, we can use a submersible pump to remove it. If only a small area of the basement has standing water, our technicians can use a wet/dry vacuum to remove it. Removing most of the water helps minimize drying time and prevent secondary water damage.

Floodwater often contains microorganisms that can be hazardous to human health. Once we remove the water, we clean and sanitize the basement and the affected materials using advanced cleaning products. We also dry the affected area. To speed up drying, we can set up fans throughout the area and turn them to high speed to expedite evaporation. We can also use dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the affected materials like furnishings and flooring. We also utilize commercial grade ozone machines, which neutralize odor-causing particles at the molecular level.

After drying the basement, our technicians can inspect the structural damage and work with your insurance adjuster on site to ensure you receive the indemnification you seek. We ensure that the documentation required to file an insurance claim is complete and in order. We are committed to restoring your home to its original pre-flood condition, making the destruction look “Like it never even happened.”
