Ways Flood Damage Changes Montrose Property

Our SERVPRO techs really are all-business when it comes to restoring your Montrose property to preloss condition.

Planning Montrose Flood Restoration Reinstating Pre-loss Conditions

Whether rainwater filters in through window sills or part of the roof is torn off, allowing a deluge, you should anticipate changes within your property. For flooding intrusions, your only worry is how to mop up the affected areas, but for severe flood damage, you may find yourself comparing accommodation rates at The Rathbone Hotel & Parlor Bar, Hampton Inn Montrose, or Stay Wise Inn Montrose since the changes you face may force you to vacate your property. Grand Avenue Storage, Colorado Self Storage, and other facilities may also be useful for item storage. SERVPRO® handles these changes, ensuring a speedy intervention.

Determining whether flood damage incidents in Montrose are minor or severe is more than just the amount of water involved. The changes in your property present a more accurate picture, which is why our SERVPRO technicians prioritize damage evaluation. Property size does matter, though - in a storied facility like Basecamp Apartments or The LOFTS, the floodwater may trickle down from floor to floor, increasing the chances of severe damage remaining hidden.

Severe water damage changes

• Warping 
• Mold growth
• Insect infestation
• Odors

Moisture accumulation compromises structural integrity in ceilings, floors, and walls, leading to sagging and collapse. Mold contamination is another risk since it's a biohazard that sets in from moisture abundance and spreads quickly around the property by consuming organic materials. You must have noticed green masses and rotting branches concentrated near the water if you have been keen when picnicking or hiking through UTE Park, West Main Trail Head, Cerise Park, or Taviwach Park. After flooding, mold contributes to a similar deterioration inside the house.

Structural deterioration from flooding

You may experience significant structural deterioration in severe flooding incidents necessitating widespread repairs. Some of the problems you might experience include:

• Rotting wood
• Foundation shifts and cracks
• Compromised drywall and insulation

Removing the decaying materials is part of the restoration, although it may feel like damaging the property further. Our SERVPRO technicians use flood cuts and other controlled demolition processes to facilitate inspecting and replacing the damaged materials, restoring preloss conditions.
