We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster!

SERVPRO Professionals in Middletown are Experts in Dealing with Storm Aftermath

Summer stormy seasons can sweep through Middletown, leaving havoc in their path. Flooding disrupts your life and can do permanent damage to your home. It would help if you had emergency mitigation when water intrudes from storms to keep the situation from becoming worse.

Dealing with Debris and Black Water

When there is flood damage in Middletown homes, it brings debris, and silt. Not only are there items floating around from your home, but any number of things can be swept in by rising water. This includes dirt and plant matter. There are several things our Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) certified technicians do to clean up the muck and mire in your basement. This includes:

•   Mucking out and removing debris with shovels and rakes.
•   Use truck-mounted water extractors that can handle water filled with debris (trash pumps.)
•   Use other water extractors, such as submersible pumps.
•   Spray EPA-approved disinfectants on affected areas.

We Restore Your Basement to Pre-Loss Condition

Once the dirt, debris, and water get removed from your basement, we begin further clean up and restoration. In the case of flood damage, some things cannot be restored and need replacing. Carpeting, padding, upholstered furniture, and mattresses are all items that need to get discarded if they have been in contaminated water. We restore as much as we possibly can. We always strive to leave your home “Like it never even happened.”
