Flood Cleanup Goes Beyond the Water Extraction
When a storm hits San Antonio, the aftermath can be overwhelming. Floodwater in a home can be particularly devastating, affecting the structure and your cherished belongings. This article will guide you through our process and explain how we deal with floodwater and the damage professionally.
Addressing Belongings With Floodwater Exposure
Flood damage in San Antonio can happen quickly and extensively, requiring immediate attention. Floodwater presents unique challenges, such as carrying contaminants that can affect the safety of your home. We begin by assessing the extent of the water damage and developing an individualized plan to address it.
Assessment and Handling of Wet Home Contents
Our team at SERVPRO® begins by thoroughly inspecting all affected items, photographing them, and categorizing them into salvageable and non-salvageable groups. Salvageable items are carefully removed and taken to our facility for specialized drying and cleaning.
We use advanced techniques like vacuum freeze-drying to restore essential documents and photographs to the best possible condition. We employ industrial-grade (Esporta) washers, dryers, and HEPA-filtered cleaning equipment to eliminate contaminants and moisture from furniture, clothing, and other personal items.
Non-salvageable items are documented for insurance purposes and disposed of safely. This thorough process ensures that your cherished belongings are either restored or properly handled, giving you peace of mind during a challenging time.
Post-Flood Restoration of Your Belongings
Floodwater can ruin personal belongings, including furniture, clothing, and documents. Salvaging these items requires special techniques and equipment:
- Document Drying: We use vacuum freeze-drying technology to restore essential papers and books.
- Electronics Cleaning: Specialized cleaning solutions and techniques to recover electronics.
- Content Cleaning: Furniture and textiles are cleaned using industrial-grade equipment.
Some items, unfortunately, may need to be discarded if our advanced methods cannot restore them.
