Extensive Experience from SERVPRO Helps Anticipate or Resolve Challenging Water Damage Repairs

In most cases, storms, and flooding affect Norwich properties directly, causing extensive physical damage. Storm incidents can also cause indirect damages. A typical example is power disruption due to downed lines leading to heating problems or appliance failures that damage properties.

Indirect flood damage in your Norwich home can have severe consequences leading to extreme restoration work. For instance, if the loss of power stretches for days or weeks, freezers and refrigerators can thaw, messing the property with moisture accumulation, soiling, and bad smell from the rotten food. Calling a professional like SERVPRO to assist can combat the indirect damage in different ways.

Restoring the indirect damage from a storm incident may require several processes, including:

• Biohazard remediation
• Rodent and critter clean up services
• Water removal and drying services

If our SERVPRO team arrives before problems develop fully, we can take preventive steps such as providing power from portable generators to restore heating in the property or power vulnerable appliances. We can provide electricity to also power our advanced equipment for cleanup and restoration of flood damaged materials.

If the damage is already done, our SERVPRO technicians can help remove the mess from rotten food supplies and clean soiled surfaces. We also scrub and disinfect freezers to remove soiling and harmful materials since microbial development can lead to contamination.

Other useful processes include deodorization through fogging or the application of water-based deodorizers on the cleaned surfaces. Running air scrubbers also helps remove any aerosols or particulate matter from the air.
