Actions that Improve the Outcome of Flood Removal in a Largo Condo

Flooding in a condo poses a great threat because it costs a significant amount to clean up the immediate damages, and deal with the issues that crop up after some time. In such a unit, it is easy for water to sit too long if the owner is away from home. The water also spreads easily from upper levels to lower ones if the incident starts in upper floors. Taking the right steps after discovering the problem should help restore the property to its preloss state.  

Dealing with any standing water is a crucial step during flood water removal in a Largo condo. Using sophisticated equipment such as water extractors and pumps is the most straightforward way to achieve this. However, because the water is also trapped in wall cavities and other concealed areas, other processes such as drilling weep holes and making flood cuts may be necessary. Our SERVPRO technicians use both portable and truck-mounted water extractors to ease access to any section of the property. Our WRT, Water Restoration Technicians also use their skills to perform the other steps expediting water removal.  

When water originates from a higher level, it can cause widespread damages to the contents in the lower levels. Protecting such items from severe damages is vital. Moving such items, or covering them can help protect them from dripping water and the debris produced during the other restoration steps. Our SERVPRO technicians use plastic sheets to protect contents in open spaces such as garages. Protection also allows us to work fast.  

Water permeates different building materials including drywall and insulation damaging their structural integrity. It also damages certain finishes such as paint causing it to bubble or chip away. In many cases, drying such materials cannot restore them to their preloss state. Our SERVPRO technicians carry out controlled teardown to remove all water-damaged materials. We also clean up all the debris eliminating the problems caused by the incident "Like it never even happened."
