Aging Infrastructure and Severe Storms Are Why SERVPRO Focuses Resources on Glen Cove Flood Damage

Just east of Hempstead Bay on the west end of Long Island Sound, Glen Cove has flooding anecdotes aplenty in the past few months. Whether your home experiences flooding because of a municipal water main break or torrential rainfall and storm surge, you need a reliable, professional mitigation and remediation services. Provision of these needed resources is an important reason why our company exists.

Water of All Categories and Sources Need Fast Removal

When water fills the lower levels of your home, the original source of Glen Cove flood damage is immaterial. A flash flood because of torrential rain or broken plumbing both sweep debris and contaminants into your house. Our Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)-trained team of managers and technicians is prepared to collect, contain, and dispose of the now-contaminated water. Our ability to manage any quality or quantity of floodwater is why we are recommended to property owners by their insurance companies.

We Arrive Prepared

Well-stocked service vehicles and 24/7 on-call crews are why SERVPRO can respond quickly for your flood damage needs. As our crew chief or project manager evaluates the scenario, technicians wait to roll the pumps and extractors into your property. Fast action is one of the ways we ensure a successful outcome as the damage done by water worsens progressively. If excess water remains for more than 24 to 48 hours, mold growth and the harm it can cause to structures becomes more likely.

We Are Trained to Use Sensitive Moisture Metering Devices

As the floodwater evacuates, technicians begin searching for any water migration from the original area. We use thermal imaging cameras to locate standing water. If found, we select a controlled demolition technique such as punching weep holes or making flood cuts to release the fluid. Why SERVPRO uses moisture meters to sample structural components is to create a drying baseline, comparing the levels found in the affected areas with those found in unflooded rooms in the home. After the flooded area is cleaned and disinfected, we position air movers and heaters to create the correct balance of temperature and humidity to force absorbed water into the air. Dehumidifiers then capture the vapor for disposal.

Our mission as a community disaster responders is why SERVPRO of Glen Cove / Jericho awaits your call for flood restoration, storm or accident based. Call us at (516) 671-1919 to arrange an assessment.
