SERVPRO Handles Flooding in Montrose Homes

When huge thunderstorms hit your neighborhood, the risk of your house getting damaged raises since the heavy rains can cause flooding. The flooding that occurs due to a storm can be a complex problem that demands a combination of strategies to treat it correctly.

Immediately there is storm flood damage in your Montrose residence, call SERVPRO so that we can mitigate it and remove the floodwater safely. Our experts have undergone the training necessary to handle the complexities and uniqueness of any flooding scene. The process we can follow to restore your property might be summarized in the few steps below, although each case is unique.

• Initial inspection and assessment.
• Extraction of the floodwater using powerful self-priming trash pumps.
• Cleaning structural elements and furnishings.
• Drying the air inside the house by dehumidification and air movement.
• Remediation of mold

SERVPRO has the latest equipment that can remove the floodwater properly. To choose the equipment that can provide sufficient water removal, our technicians consider the following factors:

• The depth of water that needs to be extracted.
• The distance within the building.
• The availability of power. 

We can use extraction units or pumps to remove the water. Water removal is a vital step to eliminating moisture from your home. The more floodwater we extract, the less time we can spend using drying equipment to evaporate and dehumidify the remaining moisture.

Flooding can cause mold to grow and multiply because humidity and moisture levels increase in a building with water damage. For that reason, our SERVPRO team can use thermo-hygrometers to locate hidden moisture problems to ensure your house is free from any surprises in the future. Thermo-hygrometers measure both relative humidity and temperature. Some also calculate the dew point.

Our SERVPRO technicians can also repair or replace damaged structural materials like drywall. Repairing drywall is an option when there is no mold or bulging. We can also clean and restore your salvageable personal items.

Allowing the floodwater to sit in your house gives it more time to spread. To prevent the damage from escalating, contact SERVPRO of Montrose / Telluride at (970) 478-0619. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.
