SERVPRO Acts Fast in Mahopac to Limit Hazards and Damage After Storm Flooding – We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster!

With any Mahopac storms, your property might suffer from flooding on some level – especially if you live in a zone that sees rising waters from time to time. Some of the apparent effects of storm flooding may include:

• Wet carpeting
• Wall stains
• Lifted flooring
• Furniture watermarks

You may feel that many problems related to storm flood damage in Mahopac can be solved by letting everything dry. Unfortunately, flooding can bring any number of other issues that may not be obvious right away. Excessive damage may occur from not acting quickly, while others can arise by using the wrong methods for water damage remediation.

Some of the hazards that our team at SERVPRO always take the time to address include:

• Black Water – Floodwater coming into the home, including river and lake water, storm floods, and sewer backups, is considered black water. Even an overflow from a kitchen source may quickly turn into a black water situation depending on what the water comes into contact with. SERVPRO knows how to contain and handle all black water situations to keep our crew and your family safe from potential hazards. 
• Damage Wiring – There can be invisible danger even after floodwater subsides. Wiring within the walls may become damaged when exposed to moisture. It is imperative to keep power disconnected until a professional can analyze the wires and possibly replace them.
• Debris – Flooding that occurs during severe weather brings dangerous debris. Building materials, downed trees, cans, chemicals, bottles, and other items can clog drains and cause damage to your property. SERVPRO’s technicians take the time to remove debris carefully to dispose of it so that we can safely move through the process of water extraction, drying, and deodorizing.
