SERVPRO Helps Clean and Decontaminate Saugus Properties after Flooding
If a storm leaves your property inundated, you must clean up all the affected areas to remove physical soils, invisible contaminants, and bad odor. Floodwaters contain a cocktail of waste materials ranging from biohazards such as raw sewage and harmful industrial chemicals. For cleaning to be effective, removal of all these substances is necessary.
Depending on the extent of flood damage at your Saugus property, various cleanup steps might be necessary to address all the issues. The appropriate resources must accompany the decision to take various cleaning steps. For instance, removing waste materials from a wall cavity is only possible if you have the tools to open up its panels.

SERVPRO assesses loss sites to determine the necessary cleaning tasks and avail all the tools and professional cleaning products needed. In a typical cleaning exercise, our technicians:
