Flood damage can't be taken care of alone. Call the professionals at SERVPRO today for remediation assistance.

Flash Flooding and Its Effect on Sacramento Homes

With an area prone to many natural disasters like mudslides, wildfires, and other situations, Sacramento homes can also get damaged by rapidly developing flash floods. Even with a fast response to these situations by trained professionals like ours, the damage has often already happened. Overcoming the effects within your home involves understanding the extent of these symptoms and what must get done to restore the property to preloss condition.

Flood damage can present itself in your Sacramento residence in many ways, and when flash flooding affects your home, you do not have the time to react to these effects before they are widespread in the property. Our SERVPRO professionals have an immediate response to storm and flooding effects, arriving with the full measure of our resources, personnel, and advanced equipment to protect your property as best as we can initially.

It is important to address saturation and standing water as promptly as possible, as these situations can help to meet the conditions necessary for mold and microbial growth. While flooding can be hazardous enough for homeowners and their families, the presence of mold colonization adds another level to the threat to your health and the potential degradation of your house. Additionally, the presence of flash flood waters can perpetually present a risk for bacterial and contamination concerns for the home and its occupants.

Our SERVPRO team works quickly to remove standing floodwater from the floors of your home, and that begins with the introduction of our advanced and powerful extraction tools like our truck-mounted and gas-powered pumps. Once the excess has gotten removed, our team can get to work on cleaning, disinfecting, deodorizing, and applying antimicrobial agents to exposed surfaces and structural elements to prevent this growth.

It might be unlikely that you can entirely remove the risks of flash flooding for many homes in the area, given that these scenarios happen with little warning. Whenever disaster strikes, you can count on the equipment and expertise of our SERVPRO of North Sacramento team to make it “Like it never even happened.” Give us a call anytime at (916) 587-3438.
