Wilmington Tropical Storm Damage--Call SERVPRO-The Experienced Recovery Team

Why Wilmington Homeowners Should Not Cleanup Flood Damage on Their Own

The minute there is an intrusion into your home by water, the clock starts ticking on the flood damage to your home. There are three designations for water: clean, gray and black. Flood water automatically falls into the gray or black water category due to the contaminants and debris picked up along the way.
 
Wilmington flood damage can be better mitigated the faster the water extraction begins. The Gray or Black Water has the potential to cause illness and is generally not safe for direct contact by the homeowner. SERVPRO technicians don PPE personal protective equipment and with their training and equipment reduce flood loss.
 
When you contact us, our certified technicians advise you what to do before we arrive and if you should remain in the home. We arrive onsite within four hours and conduct a thorough analysis of the water condition and affected areas so the best mitigation efforts can be implemented.
 
Water extraction is the primary goal for beginning restoration efforts against flood water. SERVPRO technicians have many resources such as submersible pumps and truck-mounted extraction pumps that can pull thousands of gallons of water from the home so the drying process can begin as fast as possible.
 
The next step involves both disinfecting and deodorizing. SERVPRO attempts to clean and restore affected possessions and removes items that cannot be saved through restoration efforts and get approval from the homeowner before removing items. An odor may remain in the home after drying, and we have multiple methods of effectively deodorizing your home. In some cases, more than one method may need to be applied to eradicate odors. From mechanical means like air scrubbers to foggers and deodorizing gels and pellets, we can provide solutions to enhance the indoor air quality.
