SERVPRO Delivers Effective Flood Restoration in Falcon Heights Eliminating All Issues 

The inconveniences and deterioration of materials from flood damage are the main reasons necessitating quick restoration of a property. It can help if you also thought of any long-term impact that such an incident might have on your property so that you can intervene where possible.

An incident that causes flood damage at your Falcon Heights home can have significant impact months or years after you resolve it. One likely case is when you want to sell the property and signs showing the property was affected by flooding scare away buyers or form their basis of negotiation for lower prices. Professional restoration by SERVPRO can eliminate signs of deterioration associated with severe flooding.

Some long term effects from poorly resolved flooding include:

• Stains near baseboard or ceiling
• Warped frames or other structural supports
• Dry rot or mold, especially subfloors

The effects of flooding can linger for various reasons. Failure to trace and remove all the moisture deposited in the building is one likely reason. Such wetness causes multiple deteriorations in materials like rusting, resin leakage, or mold development. Our SERVPRO technicians identify all traces of hidden moisture using tools like moisture meters and thermal cameras, thus paving the way for removal.

Since many problems caused by floodwaters are hidden beneath covers such as wall panels, floor materials, or ceiling panels, the thought of doing physical demolition to reach the affected areas can challenge you. However, SERVPRO uses controlled demolition approaches that limit the destruction of materials.

Simple steps that facilitate controlled demolition include:

• Drilling weep holes on ceilings to release trapped water
• Making wall flood cuts for water and material removal
• Punching vent holes to facilitate air circulation in cavities
