Storm and flood damage to your home can be a hassle. SERVPRO has the manpower and equipment for any size disaster.

SERVPRO Can Help You With Any Size Flood Damage in Your Glen Cove Home!

Living on Long Island in New York State can put your home at a higher risk for intense storms than cities further inland. However, the people who live in such places understand that flooding is a distinct possibility during storm seasons. Responding swiftly and getting professional help to your property is the best way you can help ensure the longevity of your home. 

Fortunately, here at SERVPRO, our Glen Cove flood damage restoration technicians have a lot of experience. We use advanced technology and employ the newest techniques. SERVPRO always tries to be ahead of the curve, so you can know you are in the best hands when we help you. 

Storms can make it hard to reach your home during a sudden flash flood. Here are some things that we do at SERVPRO to help combat the weather and get to you quickly: 

• Pre-pack our vehicles so we can go at the drop of a hat
• Map out all possible routes and look for ones that are not impeded by flooding 
• We can wait for the water to recede in the worst cases

Water naturally recedes after the storm begins to calm, especially when flash flooding is involved. While flooded streets may block our passage, it is still far better for your home if you call before the water leaves your property. We can have a team ready to go with an early call as soon as the weather changes.

During flash flooding, the ground or basement floors tend to be the hardest hit by the storm. We can use industry-grade equipment to remove the standing water from your home. It is likely that the water is extremely unclean and can even be certified as black water. In these cases, it is best to allow professionals to handle the water. We can use wet/dry vacuums to remove the water before we begin to clean and then set up drying equipment.   

If your home is struck by flood damage, act now! Contact SERVPRO of Glen Cove / Jericho by dialing (516) 671-1919. We're here to help you!
