Whether a residential basement in Saugus or a school, count on SERVPRO for storm damage cleanup and restoration, "Like it never even happened."

Carefully planned interventions enable SERVPRO crews to manage leaking roofs from storms and basement flooding cleanup in Saugus

Flood damage in Saugus homes can include the challenge of substantial quantities of contaminated fluids trapped inside building cavities and absorbed into structural components. Post-storm emergency services targeting water damage remediation start with:

• Safety hazard evaluation, focusing significant attention on discovering and controlling for pooled water over ceilings, between walls, and under flooring
• Moisture detection and measurement using sensitive devices
• Scanning for hidden caches of flood water with infrared imaging technology

How Does SERVPRO Access the Trapped Flood Water Inside Saugus Homes?

Permitting water to drain and moisture to dry slowly after a flooding event in Saugus results in progressive structural deterioration and secondary water damage like mold infestation. Odors develop, affecting your family’s enjoyment of what was a cozy dwelling. SERVPRO crews refer to the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and other training mastered, concluding efforts to release the water and open up wet confined spaces are vital. Some strategies include:

• Punching weep holes in sagging ceilings from the outer edge, gradually moving toward the center to avoid collapse
• Removing baseboards, toe kicks, beadboard, paneling, and cabinet backs to allow access to collected water
• Accelerating water removal and facilitating drying by drilling holes on vertical surfaces
• below flood lines for drainage and threading hoses carrying warm, moving air to speed evaporation
• Drilling into cinder block mortar joints to mitigate basement flooding
• Sawing flood cuts between wall studs several inches above the water line in plaster or drywall to expose and removed wet building materials
