If flood waters wreak havoc on your property, call the professionals at SERVPRO of Glen Cove.

Fast Extraction and Drying Are Needed in Flooded Glen Cove Basement Levels. 

It is vital to mitigate loss after a flood. When water finds a path into your basement, it can be hazardous to the structural integrity of this area, for potential contamination, and the risk of damaging stored contents and personal belongings. Our fast response can help to protect your property. 

The Intrusion of Water 

With the violence and power of flood damage to Glen Cove homes and their basement levels, it is vital to have experienced professionals ready to respond with mitigation and emergency services. Our licensed contractors can identify the penetration point for water and work onboard up and temporary repairs so that extraction and cleanup can get underway. Common vulnerabilities include: 

• Foundation
• Masonry
• Window Access
• Main Floor Infiltration

Water Removal Services 

One of the key elements of flood recovery for damaged basements in the area is removing standing water. Infiltration can leave several inches of pooling throughout the entire lower level, sometimes more, that must be rapidly addressed with a combination of extraction devices from our inventory. Wet vacuums and submersible pumps make up the bulk of flood removal needs. 

Drying Surface Materials

Because basements vary from one house to another regarding their function and appearance, several materials can be impacted by standing water and spreading moisture. Finished basements are easily the most destroyed by substantial water damage, and our SERVPRO team arrives with air movers, dehumidifiers, portable heaters, and other tools to provide efficient drying of surface materials. 

Flood damage can encompass many areas and items within your home, so professionals must act fast. Because flooding moves quickly away from the entry point, many places require the attention of our SERVPRO of Glen Cove / Jericho team to mitigate loss and prevent more significant harm to the house. Our technicians can help with 24/7 rapid response when you call (516) 671-1919.
