How Hazlet Residents stay Vigilant after Flood Damage to Reduce their Claims Expense

Private residencies can quickly become flooded following burst water mains, a leaky valve, or malfunctioning drainage. Ground-level rooms can fill up with gallons of water, putting extra pressure on walls, floors, and structure. It is vital to act quickly by shutting off the water supply to prevent further losses. Once the immediate danger is under control, you can contact a professional loss recovery service to remove water and restore your home.

Several different types of flood damage can occur in your Hazlet home. These range from clean water emergencies, those caused by internal clean water plumbing issues or rainwater and blackwater emergencies where water contamination is a concern. SERVPRO has experience in dealing with both types for large commercial clients and private residents. Our call line is available twenty-four hours a day, and we can arrange a call-out within one hour of notification of loss.

Clean water emergencies may seem less pertinent than those that involve contamination. That assumption is not always the case as water categories can deteriorate quickly. Clean water can interact with pre-existing soiling or fungi in your home, absorbing microbes and becoming a graywater issue with the potential to advance to black water. SERVPRO technicians can arrive at your property within four hours of notification of loss to ensure that your flood situation is kept under control.

There are many safety considerations to make when large quantities of water enter your home. Electronic equipment can malfunction, floors can become unsafe. SERVPRO technicians can perform a thorough scope of your property and assess danger areas. Where it is dangerous to use your mains electricity, we can set up temporary, portable generators on-site. These generators can provide power for our water removal and drying equipment.

Water removal equipment may include pumps as well as heavy-duty extraction units. These focus on getting rid of excessive quantities of water by the gallon. Once complete, there is a significant reduction in further losses. However, floors and furnishings may still be drenched in liquid. Your technician can then bring in the drying equipment to reduce the moisture content of furnishings and flooring, as well as to prevent secondary mold damage from occurring. This process is essential to restoring your home to its preloss condition.

Clean water emergencies require vigilance and professional expertise to mitigate potentially significant losses and claim expense. Contact SERVPRO of Aberdeen / Holmdel at (732) 290-3170.
