Trust SERVPRO to Restore Your Home after Flood Damage

If you are experiencing heavy rains this spring in Perdido Key, you might be worried about water leaking into your home. Your only choice, once this happens, is to remove the water as soon as possible. Unfortunately, you have to wait until the storm has passed and the water has stopped rising to begin, but keep in mind that the longer you leave the standing water in your home, the more damage to your property occurs.

Flood damage of any magnitude in your home in Perdido Key can be overwhelming. Your home and possessions are now covered in water, where just a bit ago your home was safe and dry. To make the process much easier for you, you need the professional help of our staff at SERVPRO. We are specially trained to handle these situations, salvage everything possible, and return your home to its preloss condition.

When we first arrive, we do an initial inspection to determine the right course of action. Once we check for safety hazards, contents are secured if needed, and we can begin restoration. Extracting the standing water is the first major step, and we do so with truck-mounted pumps. Any wet items on the floors are removed, such as pillows, throw rugs, or toys. We remove as much water as possible so that the drying process goes faster.

Every wet surface is treated, which sometimes mean we remove kick baseboards and any drywall that is not salvageable. We open cabinets and remove toe kicks to accelerate the drying time. We use commercial grade equipment for drying your home back out, including dehumidifiers and air movers to generate dry air and increase circulation and evaporation. We monitor the environment carefully each day, and the progress is documented.

We conduct another inspection once your structure is dry to make sure there are no hidden pockets of moisture which could result in further damage such as mold growth. Any items which were removed from the area to keep safe and for restoration are put back in place.

SERVPRO of West Pensacola understands that flooding in your home in Warrington, Goulding, or Myrtle Grove is a stressful event, and we take special care to get your home dry and safe again. Reach out to us at (850) 469-1160 as soon as you experience an event like this.
