SERVPRO Enhances Flood Restoration of Norwich Businesses with Superior Equipment and Skills

Property damage from floodwater is considered category 2 or 3 loss since it involves significant contamination levels. Dealing with flood damage requires various actions, including mitigation to stop further deterioration and restoration to save materials. Several processes are necessary to restore preloss conditions at your Norwich property.

Some actions have to be prioritized when managing flood damage in Norwich businesses since they can change the restoration trajectory. Such priority should be directed to any action that minimizes or reverses deterioration and prevents secondary issues. Since SERVPRO has significant resources like state-of-the-art restoration equipment, we can effortlessly accomplish tasks.

Some specific actions that you should give priority include:

• Extracting excess water
• Providing humidity control
• Protecting contents
• Controlling contaminants

The intruding flood water can affect your belongings by wetting, soiling, or contaminating them. They might also stand in the way of other processes, especially when you want to extract water or spray disinfectants. A sound content protection plan ensures they do not stand in the way or incur unnecessary damages. Moving contents to a secure area within the property or blocking them with safety materials are some easy steps that offer protection. Our SERVPRO technicians can also help move out items to an offsite facility.

Removing the intruding water from open areas and hidden sections are essential. The input from our SERVPRO technicians is better felt when handling extraction in basements, stairwells, crawlspaces, and interstitial spaces where unique skills and specialized equipment are necessary to facilitate water removal. One of our goals is to minimize water damage to retail goods and equipment whenever possible.

Controlling the contamination resulting from flooding takes several approaches. Before applying biocides and other chemicals, our technicians inspect the affected areas to determine hindrances that might limit their effectiveness. Porous materials like carpets, pads, drywall, and insulation are difficult to decontaminate once soaked in floodwaters. Our SERVPRO technicians demolish affected areas to remove such materials, fixtures, and assemblies.
