Clearwater homes and condos can suffer dirty floodwater penetration--Call SERVPRO to make it "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO is Here to Help with Your Flood Damage Restoration Needs

Fighting the possibility of flooding in your Clearwater home might not always be something that a homeowner gets fully prepared to do. In many cases, flooding situations can occur with little warning or notice, leaving you uncertain about the construction of your home and its general ability to prevent this natural disaster from entering the lower levels of your home. The unfortunate aspect is that many homeowners do not even realize that their home has vulnerable penetration points for water to pass through until they are amid a flooding crisis.

For the most part, flood damages to your Clearwater residence can happen very suddenly and present an immediate threat to the contents of your home and its structural integrity and strength. While you might be unable to stop the floodwaters as they push through the weakened portions of your foundation, you are not without any options. Contact our team of SERVPRO professionals who can show up and help you keep the situation as contained as possible, even amid the flooding.

In situations where the flood waters are still pouring in from compromised blockwork, applying hydraulic cement to these smaller areas can stop the immediate flow of water and seal to prevent further damages while restoration efforts get underway. Through extraction and drying, our team works to remove all of the moisture and dampness in the area to avoid compounding damage such as mold growth. We typically apply an antimicrobial agent to disinfect the storm damaged areas. We work with your insurance company if you have one.

An assessment can then be done on the structural integrity of all the affected surfaces and construction materials in this area of your house. While many might only require cleaning to get restored, some structural components in significant damage might require removal and replacement with new materials. We provide controlled demolition to minimize the build-back.

A flood in your home is never something you want to see or contend with on your own. Our professionals at SERVPRO of Largo are available 24/7 to help. Give us a call anytime at (727) 586-0060.
