If this water vapor remains, mold and other problems related to elevated humidity become much more likely to plague your home.

When Snows Melt, Flood Damage Mitigation Experts Restore Homes In Granby

Depressions around your Granby home's exterior can hold more snow, and drifting can add several feet of snow and ice to what already exists. Once this begins to melt, water can slip into your home quite easily. If your home rests on lower portions of a hillside, freshly melted snow can increase the flow.

SERVPRO technicians are ready to remove flood damage in your Granby residence with efficient techniques and protect your home from further problems. Flooding picks up soils and other debris, including organic matter from trees, your and neighbors' yards, and even the street. We use special cleaning equipment to remove not only the water but also the sediment left behind.

Our drying methods rapidly remove the moisture that evaporated from the standing water and entered the air inside your residence. If this water vapor remains, mold and other problems related to elevated humidity become much more likely to plague your home. We explain to our customers that helping them save money includes helping them prevent possible damaging situations, as this is much less costly than restoration through cleaning or replacing of materials.

With flooding, odors quickly become noticeable and make a home inhospitable. Odors continually remind occupants that the house is now dank and damp, a breeding ground for pathogens and other microbes. Achieving normal humidity of the air and moisture content of flooded contents reduces the odors, but many remain. Our IICRC-certified Odor Control Technician (OCT) uses industry-recognized methods to eliminate these odors at their sources.

While still-damp environments, including even those barely moist, are not ideal candidates for treating through ozone, our hydroxyl generators do not have the same precautions. We can safely use them in such environments, as well as while these areas remain occupied by our workers and others helping to get your home's condition back “Like it never even happened.” Neutralizing odor-causing substances with easily formed chemical bonds, the new molecules disintegrate in new ways that do not produce odor. Additional methods, such as thermal fogging, once your home is arid again, add to the effectiveness of our odor control treatments.
