Better Outcomes Using Advanced Technology for Flood Cleanup

After the storm passes, cleanup should begin promptly. Knowing where to start reclaiming your home can feel overwhelming when floodwaters invade your property. Flood damage can ruin carpets, soak through subfloors, and even require significant wall repairs. This post will discuss how advanced equipment is essential in restoring your property and what steps are taken to mitigate flood damage effectively.

State-of-the-art equipment for Flood Cleanup

In Marysville, flood damage restoration begins with assessing the extent of the damage. Our SERVPRO of Marysville / Arlington team members use advanced moisture detection tools to identify all floodwater-affected areas. Key equipment includes:

• Moisture Meters: These devices measure the moisture levels in various materials to determine the extent of water infiltration.
• Thermal Imaging Cameras locate hidden moisture pockets within walls and floors that are invisible to the naked eye.

Drying Your Subfloor and Carpets

Floodwaters can cause extensive damage to carpets and subfloors. More than simply drying the surface is required; the moisture trapped underneath must be addressed to prevent mold growth. Here's how we handle it:

• High-Powered Air Movers: These machines increase airflow across carpets and subfloors, speeding up drying.
• Dehumidifiers: Industrial-grade dehumidifiers reduce humidity levels, extracting moisture from the air and preventing further saturation of materials.

Wall Repairs and Flood Cuts

Flood damage often affects the walls, requiring precise techniques to ensure complete drying and repair. We perform flood cuts, which involve removing the lower portion of the drywall to promote better air circulation and drying. Our process includes:

• Flood Cuts: Typically, we cut the wall 12-18 inches above the flood line to access and dry the insulation and studs.
• Air Scrubbers: These devices filter the air to remove contaminants and improve air quality during drying.
