Fast Recovery and Restoration are Critical to Prevent Greater Tear-Out and Reconstruction of St. Anthony Properties

Flooding is a common occurrence in homes and businesses in lower-lying areas of Ramsey and Hennepin Counties. Because these disasters can spread damaging effects so quickly in a home, it is vital to have professionals respond rapidly to protect what matters most. Common causes of flood damage in residences include:

• Roof leaks
• Intruding flash floodwater
• Storm damage
• Sewage backup

Removing Bulk Materials and Clearing Standing Water 

The bulk materials and debris are among the most threatening aspects of flood damage to homes and businesses in St. Anthony. While standing water is a common occurrence restoration experts come to expect, the degree of structural damage varies to such significant levels that we prioritize any content relocation, debris removal, and bulk material discarding.

Clearing Dry Particles 

It is possible to overcome dry particles that might exist in the outer-lying areas of the flooded zone. HEPA vacuums can provide the final resolution of dust and dry debris. Removing soils in this manner can often prevent more significant harm to the building, as post-flooding effects leave the property vulnerable.

Wet Cleaning for Decontamination Purposes

Wet cleaning can also be possible and often gets used when contaminants impact exposed building materials after a flood. We have powerful cleansers in our inventory like Orange Plus and Industrial Cleaner that can act as a detergent. With some abrasive techniques, the solution gets scrubbed into building materials and cleans up post-flooding effects.

As rapidly as flood damage spreads in a home, it is critical to provide the property with suitable mitigation and surface cleaning strategies. Our SERVPRO of Northeast Minneapolis is here to help 24/7 at (612) 421-2040.
