Why Homeowners with Flood Damage in Anoka Trust SERVPRO to Mitigate Their Residences

Any disaster that displaces your family and destroys the contents of your Anoka home, along with much of its interior, can overwhelm anyone. What you do before such an event can protect your personal belongings and help keep your family safe for the duration of the crisis. As soon as possible, calling SERVPRO for vital assistance with mitigation can eliminate further loss.

One reason why SERVPRO is the company residents trust in Anoka for flood damage mitigation comes from the way we handle the entire situation. Our training encompasses the machinery and equipment, the concerns of the customer and their family, the property impacted by the flood, and how to work together to make things “Like it never even happened.” When your home floods, you need  a competent team who can advise you of your options and guide you through the crisis while keeping your budget and other concerns in mind. 

Although we use a topical disinfectant before we begin working on mitigation, removing drywall previously submerged under floodwater must happen as soon as possible. Disinfecting does not prevent migration of water.

Removing lower portions of walls lets us spray down the studs to prevent microbial activity and helps us manage how rapidly the interior dries. They can become full of condensation that clings to the interior surfaces. Sealing these spaces by installing new drywall too early causes weakened materials nearby, odors, and high humidity, among other problems we can help you avoid.

Other damaged items needing replaced after a flood include carpeting, parquet flooring, older linoleum, and furniture and bedding. Getting these items out of your flood-damaged home takes up space. After photographing and inventorying each item, disposing each into a large-size waste receptacle located at the curb helps save cleanup costs while protecting the neighborhood's environment. 

Our water damage specialists' training includes studying to earn recognition from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). In-house training, plus working with more experienced technicians gives our customers services tailored to their property's specific and immediate needs.
