How SERVPRO Makes Bridgewater Flood Damage Cleanup and Rebuilding Process Seamless

Of all the home disasters that hit a property, flood damage is one of the worst. Groundwater carries a category three rating as a biohazardous Black Water. We advise homeowners not to come into contact with it until our team arrives on-site to perform testing to determine the nature of any toxins, contaminants, or sewage present in the floodwater. Often, no testing is required.

Even though the SERVPRO emergency response team arrives quickly at Bridgewater homes with flood damage, the water in many cases has migrated within the structure, and there is little standing water. We test for harmful elements present and use our moisture detection equipment to scope the premises and discover the areas of excessive moisture. Water extraction efforts immediately begin so we can save as much of the property as possible from prolonged exposure to dampness.

Common actions during cleanup of flood damage include:

• Using flood cuts to stop groundwater from wicking further into sheetrock and letting a more substantial amount of air into the wall cavity for efficient drying
• Extracting water from carpeting before it is cut into strips for removal
• Removal of baseboards as needed for water extraction and thorough drying
• Drilling weep holes as needed for drainage.

Our goal is always to assist homeowners with saving as much water-damaged property as possible rather than have them incur the cost of replacement. We accomplish this through our proprietary methods while adhering to the best practices taught through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC.)

After drying, disinfection, and treating the property for odors, our technicians give the homeowner a listing of the restoration services completed, which includes both a detailed report plus before and after photographs to assist with expediting insurance claims. We also advise any repairs needed to return the home to its pre-damaged condition. Because our SERVPRO location has a General Contractor License #13VH05228000, we can make the cleanup and reconstruction of the property one seamless process, lessening the stress of the mitigation process for the homeowner.
