Get Efficient Flood Damage Cleanup for Your Glen Cove Home 

All homes in Glen Cove are vulnerable to sustaining damage after a natural disaster. Water damage from floods is one thing that comes to mind. It has not been long since a storm caused by the remnants of Hurricane Burry hit this city. Floodwater ruins the structure and contents of a home such as drywall, carpet, furniture, and belongings.

If there is flood damage in your Glen Cove home, create a record of all the destruction that has happened for your insurance firm. Some insurance policies do not cover flooding. Therefore, check with your insurer to know the reimbursements you qualify for. Take images of all the ruined structures and possessions and send them to your insurance agent. You should then assess the destruction in your property. Wear rubber boots so you can be safe from toxic materials. Flood damage can include some of the following issues:

Contaminants 

Floodwater usually comprises silt, mud, and microbes like bacteria, fungi, and viruses. These contaminants can cause serious health problems if you do not clean and neutralize them promptly.

Damaged appliances 

If you did not unplug all your electrical equipment before the floodwaters entered your home, some might have sustained damage. If items like electric heaters, outlets, thermostats, wiring, computers, and light fixtures were submerged, you need to replace them. You may salvage some electronics, but make sure an electrician examines them first.

Mold growth 

If floodwater soaks into walls, floors, and furniture, it can cause mold to develop in dark, moist areas. Mold usually appears within a day or two of a flood and poses health risks.

Remember that the quicker you act, the better the chance you have for saving valuable items in your home. You can get started with cleaning up your home and restoring it to its former glory by contacting SERVPRO franchise professionals. Our water damage restoration technicians can clean up and dry your property to make the flooding emergency seem “Like it never even happened.”

As opposed to water damage from clean water, flood damage restoration requires sanitizing, decontamination, and deodorization of a home. Our water damage restoration technicians (WRT) have different equipment needed to restore a home to its pre-flood damage sate. We have powerful extraction equipment like portable pumps that remove water from buildings effectively to expedite the drying process. We also use air moving equipment to increase evaporation and dehumidification equipment to eliminate water vapor from the air.

Flooding can also cause your home to have unpleasant odors. Our SERVPRO technicians use deodorization equipment to apply professional products and treat odors. We can identify and remove widespread and overpowering odors using hydroxyl machines, air scrubbers, and fogging equipment.

After the unfortunate event of floodwater intrusion into your Glen Head, Jericho, or Oyster Bay home, contact SERVPRO of Glen Cove / Jericho for flood cleanup services. Our emergency hotline is (516) 671-1919, and we are ready to assist you 24/7/365.
