Heavy rains, snow, and severe storms can cause flash flooding. That can result in floodwaters surging into homes. Floodwaters need to get extracted as quickly as possible, and SERVPR has the technicians and equipment required to clean up flood damaged homes.

Are Flood Waters Dangerous?

Flood damage in Montrose brings in contaminated water that is considered Category III, or black water. It is not safe to enter without the proper PPE. Due to the sewage and debris in the liquid, it is considered a biohazard. Our technicians understand the risks and know how to mitigate flood damage.

How Do You Remove Flood Water?

Our technicians use several types of pumps for different flooding situations. Debris and silt usually accompany storm flooding, so the standard pumps cannot always be used. Factors such as water depth, amount of debris, and how far the water needs to travel to the pump determine which pump system is best. We typically use the following with flooding:

• Trash pumps – extracts water that contains debris and solid material. They can be classified as semi-trash, full trash, or slurry
• Submersible pumps – pulls up water and pushes it to the top for removal. This pump is used in water that is more than 2” deep.
