Flood Recovery In Holmdel

Scoping a Flood Recovery Job in Your Holmdel Property
It might not always be immediately apparent what a Holmdel property needs after a loss incident. Especially with destructive emergencies like flooding, many areas of the house could become affected over a brief period of exposure. Floods can allow water migration to happen at an alarming rate, which can leave you unsure of what materials, structural cavities, and contents might have become damaged in this process.
Our SERVPRO team can help with real-time assessments of the damage when it is safe to begin addressing the flood damage in Holmdel residences. While there are often emergency services that can begin at this time as well, including temporary construction solutions to prevent further floodwater penetration, inspecting the property thoroughly is vital to getting the right personnel, equipment, and devices on-site fast to help.
Natural flooding can introduce your home to contaminants, sewage, and other bacteria. Any exposed materials and contents can get deemed unsafe for unqualified or unprotected people to handle. Our professionals, even during the inspection of flood damages, wear all necessary personal protective equipment to ensure that they are safe and that cross-contamination into other areas of the residence does not occur. Protective gear might include coverall suits, gloves, eye protection, respirators, and more.
Scoping the job before beginning full mitigation of the property can allow us to answer pressing questions and ensure that restoration and cleaning do not take longer than expected. While some of the damaged areas might be easy to see, we can also utilize advanced detection tools like hygrometers, penetrating moisture meters, and thermal imagery to get an idea of the location and concentration of moisture pockets beyond the surface materials.
Before the full measure of our restoration and recovery efforts can begin, it is essential to get the full understanding of the work that must get done. Our project manager can determine the nature of the damage, what can happen to correct it, and what tools and personnel are necessary to complete these tasks.
