SERVPRO Has the Techniques and Equipment to Salvage Your Raleigh Interior from Flood Damage 

When a water incident happens, and floodwater enters your home, it poses a threat to your structural materials, furnishings, and personal belongings. Calling a crew for prompt mitigation ensures that you lessen costs from secondary damage. SERVPRO is available 24/7 to come to your Raleigh home to handle your flood restoration needs. 

How Do You Handle My Flooded Interior? 

Once our customers call for help with flood damage in Raleigh, we send out a crew so that the initial loss assessment may begin. We bring all of the necessary water removal equipment, specialized cleaning agents, and tools to help us make it look, “Like it never even happened.” Our water restoration technicians (WRT) take the time to ensure your structural integrity is intact and get started removing standing water during the extraction phase. 

• Powerful pumps and wet vacuums allow us to remove a tremendous amount of water rapidly.
• If you have high levels of water present, we have specialized submersible and gas-powered pumps to handle the task.
• To ensure no hidden pockets of water remain, we use moisture detection tools and hygrometers that locate moisture throughout your interior.
• If we suspect the storm left moisture hidden behind walls and in the ceilings, we employ infrared camera technology. 

What Happens to Saturated Materials? 

There are many times when flood-saturated materials need removing way of controlled demolition. The team uses flood cuts to remove sheetrock up to several inches above the waterline, which allows us to thoroughly dry the wall cavity before the new sheetrock is put into place and refinished to look like new. 

When you call SERVPRO of East Raleigh/Zebulon, you can feel confident that your flood damage project is in excellent hands. Contact us by calling (919) 250-0455, and we can send out a team as soon as possible to get to work.
