Water extraction from flooded crawlspaces in Norwich requires a rapid SERVPRO service, We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Flooding Can Impact a Norwich Crawlspace and Related Materials Rapidly

While the crawlspace can help prevent flooding from directly impacting the main floor of your home, damage to this area is not without concerns. It is important to act fast to mitigate the situation and remove floodwater from a crawlspace as soon as possible.

Standing Water Concerns

Flood damage in Norwich crawlspaces first appears as standing water concerns, so this is the first phase of mitigation and restoration of these threats. Our experienced SERVPRO professionals approach the situation with powerful extraction and water removal devices from our supply like:

• High-pressure pumps
• Truck-mount extractors
• Wet vacuums

Saturation

Where standing water is a threat, saturation is also a concern. Direct water exposure leaves the structural supports for the house susceptible to absorption damage. Drying tools like air movers can effectively manage these threats, but only after extraction takes place and intruding water has been stopped.

Moist Conditions

Moisture is one of the main threats with crawlspace flood damage as any standing water can create high humidity conditions that promote the production of mold colonies. Mold and microbial presence are common threats after flooding, and this can be amplified when much of the moisture present is not removed efficiently. We have several dehumidification tools and approaches to help.

Encapsulation Options

 One of the advantages of SERVPRO restoration after a flooded crawlspace is our contractor license. Because of our fast response to these emergencies, we can implement strategies early like encapsulation that capitalize on the newly dried space and prevent future water penetration and flooding that could threaten the household.

Flooding is a rapidly developing situation for many homes and businesses throughout our counties. When this water infiltrates the space beneath your property, fast action is necessary to prevent greater harm to the property or its occupants.
