Pathogens Make Flood Damage Dangerous

After your home in Delta floods, you and your family must find somewhere else to live until someone repairs the damages. Your family cannot safely live in a flooded home, even after the water leaves and drains away. It can take days for the water to drain out of a home without a water extraction team to help speed things up and get the job done faster.

Residences in Delta that sustain flood damage and other problems during storms need extensive and skillful restoration work to get them back into the same condition they were in before the flooding happened. SERVPRO crews are always ready to help homeowners achieve this and have the required training and equipment.

Our crews attain certification with the IICRC after training in various hands-on environments that teach the application of restoration science. Our team members and technicians know exactly what your home needs to make everything “Like it never even happened.”

Flooded homes need experienced technicians to drain away the water, clean out debris, remove damaged materials, air everything out, and help the homeowners and their family in many other ways. Our understanding of the stresses and hardships experienced because of a flood's occurrence can help keep things in perspective while letting you know that you are not alone in the reclaiming of your home and life.

SERVPRO removes any and all debris after draining the remaining water out but before we begin airing your residence's interior out. Debris includes the finest silt to the garbage and plant matter that the floodwaters may have pushed into your home. These and other kinds of debris can retain pathogens that, until we eliminate them, can continually multiply and eventually make your family sick. After a flood, the air inside your home becomes much more humid than it was previously.

One of our goals at SERVPRO of Montrose / Telluride is to help homeowners protect their property and their families. Flood damage can cause damage to both. Call us at (970) 240-6970 if you live in the Paonia, Cedaredge, or Crested Butte areas and we can help your family quickly recover from one of the most destructive forces of nature.
