How to Cope with Flood Damage in Your Wilmington Residence

When flooding occurs, it can disrupt your typical day-to-day life and lead to emotional distress. Floodwater is rarely palatable and pure. The murky pools hold much filth, including staining sediments and hazardous bacteria.

If you do not handle the flood damage in your Wilmington residence promptly, its long-term effects can lead to expensive repairs and health problems for you and your family. Floodwater can ruin building materials and household items such as carpets, hardwood floors, and upholstery. When faced with such a disaster, please seek professional help to ensure your home's restoration to its pre-damaged state. A licensed and experienced restoration company like SERVPRO can quickly handle the situation.

Our team can evaluate whether it is possible to decontaminate and restore affected structures and contents, or whether we should remove and replace them. We decide to either replace or repair affected items based on several factors, including:

• The pretest results
• The nature of contamination
• The porosity of the material

Our team can demolish unsalvageable materials like contaminated carpet and pad, drywall, wood trim, door trim, and window trim. We provide a full flood damage cleanup and restoration service working diligently to deal with all the problems that flooding causes. We can remove debris, silt, and other substances that floodwaters may have brought into your home. Preventing further damage is our focus, and our experienced staff ensures efficient and smooth completion of the restoration process.

Excess water in your house can cause significant destruction, including mold growth, gas, and electrical hazards, and water staining. We can extract the water using electrical submersible pumps. After getting rid of all the floodwater, our team can dry out your home to ensure we have removed all moisture from walls, ceilings, and floors to avoid mold growth.

We can also perform exterior cleaning because floodwaters can also wreak havoc outdoors. For instance, filth can coat or stain the exterior of your house. Our SERVPRO team can use brooms, rakes, and pressure washing equipment to remove the grime. Like other products we use indoors, our outdoor solutions are non-toxic, eco-friendly, and biodegradable. These products are an excellent way to clean your home without ruining building materials or the environment.

After experiencing flood damage, you need prompt, professional help. SERVPRO of Hockessin / Elsmere can help you clean up your home. Contact us 24/7 at (302) 992-0104 for efficient flood restoration services.
