Count on SERVPRO to have the right tools and equipment for your storm damage restoration.

Premier Tools to Reduce Reconstruction After Saugus Flooding

While we have a full team to help after flooding in Saugus homes, the less rebuilding that is necessary beyond mitigation, the more money we can save the customer. With this mindset, we can make many drying and restoration decisions based on which materials and contents must be discarded and what tools and practices can restore the rest.

Choosing among the premier equipment available to our SERVPRO team can help us manage flood damage in Saugus residences more efficiently. Because flooding can affect a home in numerous ways, our professionals must focus on standing water, moisture, and health threats like microbial and bacterial growth first. Each of these phases in mitigation has unique tools capable of protecting affected materials and contents.

Water Removal 

Standing water is a common threat for your home after flooding, regardless of where water penetrates the structure. The longer that materials stay exposed to spreading water, the weaker and more physically damaged these surfaces become. Removing surface water falls on the capable tools in our inventory, including:

• Electric submersible pumps
• Wet Vacuums
• Truck-Mount Extractor Pumps

Drying and Restoration 

Removing moisture from both the environment and the materials affected by flooding can be a defining step in the restoration process. The ability of our SERVPRO team to reduce present moisture involves multiple state-of-the-art tools like our centrifugal air movers, drying mats, positive pressure systems, and desiccant or low grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers.

Cleaning and Disinfection

Microbial and bacterial threats can have as destructive an impact on exposed drywall, flooring, and other materials as the floodwater itself can. Cleaning surfaces of residues and potential contaminants involves potent cleaning agents like chlorines, biocides, sterilizers, and similar products.

Overcoming flood damage in your home involves an extensive array of premier tools and potent products, especially when reducing rebuilding and reconstruction is the goal.
