How Does Flood Damage Impact the Home?

Whether you have a basement or crawlspace, floodwater can infiltrate and even wick up into your first floor. Contaminated waters are hazardous, so you must reduce risks by keeping people and pets away from them until SERVPRO arrives for water removal services.

• Contamination – Floodwaters harbor many contaminants, including chemicals, vermin, fecal matter, fuel, and more.
• Structural Hazards – Damage to structural elements like flooring or support beams can occur from water pressure during the flood.
• Odors – Musty, foul odors could develop from floodwaters or mildew growth. These odorous particulates must get addressed by skilled Odor Control Technicians (OCT).
