Get Help When Flood Damage Strikes Your Amherst Home

Severe thunderstorms can bring heavy rains and intense winds to your Amherst home, causing flood damage in critical cases. Unfortunately for your home, the thunderstorm uprooted a nearby tree. As it fell, the branches punched a hole through your window and allowed hundreds of gallons of water into your home.

Upon discovering the water in your home, you need to reach out for local Amherst flood damage remediation services immediately. Leaving the water to its own devices for too long can cause microbial growth, as the excess moisture feeds omnipresent mold spores. Whenever your home suffers any type of water damage, always get help as swiftly as possible.

The other important thing to remember about flood damage is that the waters inside may not be safe to be in contact with. When you get in touch with a professional cleanup and remediation service, like SERVPRO, we can determine what category of water is in your home. Fortunately, your home is suffering from rainwater and a few debris left behind by the fallen tree.

The first thing SERVPRO can do once the tree has been removed is clean up any debris and remove the water from inside of your living room. Our highly trained Institution of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration-certified (IICRC) technicians can use wet/dry vacuums, as well as rover-mounted extractors, to remove the excess water. Rover-mounted extractors are particularly excellent for any carpeted floors, as they simultaneously dry the carpet while removing water.

After removing the excess, SERVPRO can move any furniture out of your living room and bring it to our facility to be dried and cleaned. It can be stored there until the work in your living room is done. Our technicians can make flood cuts along your walls, removing any damaged material to ensure that no mold growth occurs. As a final touch, we can set up drying equipment in your living room. We use devices such as desiccant dehumidifiers, axial fans, flood drying mats, and air movers for drying. These devices help us ensure that the moisture levels are returned to their proper amount.

Once finished, we can put you in contact with a contractor to restore your living room. After we return your things in their preloss state, we can return your home to you, hoping that you feel, “Like it never even happened.”

If your home needs flood damage remediation services, get them immediately. Dial (413) 324-1300 to speak with SERVPRO of Hampshire County. No matter the day or time, our technicians can help.
