- Cleaning Salvageable Material During Flood Restoration
SERVPRO techs clean and decontaminate the material exposed to floodwater. Different materials are cleaned using various techniques. Some of the ways in which SERVPRO techs clean surfaces after flooding due to a storm include the following:
- Techs use HEPA vacuum to remove dry particles adhering to the surfaces like drywall.
- Structural components, including wall and floor surfaces, are cleaned with a pressure wash if contamination is absent.
- Most remaining materials, such as wood and concrete, are wet cleaned using detergent cleaning agents.
Once the cleaning is complete, SERVPRO techs use EPA-approved biocides to disinfect the cleaned surfaces. We always take your consent before applying chemical biocides and disinfectants during the restoration process.
Waste Disposal
SERVPRO techs dispose of wastewater according to local guidelines and regulations. Techs double bag all the contaminated porous material in 6-mil polyethylene bags before disposing of them. Once the restoration is complete, SERVPRO techs clean the tools and equipment with EPA-registered disinfectant.
