Priorities of Cleaning Up a Flooded Middletown Garage
6/30/2021 (Permalink)
Several Mitigation Actions can Make the Restoration of Middletown Property More Efficient and Thorough
When flooding occurs to your home’s garage or main property, you need fast and reliable help. SERVPRO professionals are experts in flood restoration and water damage mitigation, which aids you in getting back to normal life after these emergencies.
Extraction Solutions for Concrete Garage Flooring
Flood damage in Middletown garages might not overwhelm concrete flooring, but the lack of absorbency can cause issues in other ways. Pooling can happen much faster with concrete floors, impacting sensitive materials like drywall and wood. Quick extraction solutions are critical, which can vary based on the presence of solids in the floodwater.
Surface Cleaning and Mold Prevention
Flooding into the garage space might require surface cleaning options to overcome any possible contaminants and biological hazards. Viral pathogens and fungi can often travel with natural floodwater, and affected surfaces that do not require removal and replacement must be thoroughly cleaned with disinfectants and mold-inhibiting biocides to protect the structure from further damage.
Drying a Damp Garage Space
Flooding into the garage often requires several days of drying and evaporation. Continual monitoring of the progress of drying tools and instruments ensures that we have the appropriate number of devices and the best placement of these tools to maximize output and production. For broad, open spaces like a garage, some of the best drying tools include:
- Axial Air Movers
- Desiccant and LGR Dehumidifiers
- Portable Electric Heaters
