When storms cause water to enter your basement, SERVPRO techs available to make it "Like it never even happened."

Fast Mitigation can Protect the Basement and Foundation of Peabody Homes After Flooding

Prompt flood mitigation is vital for Peabody homes. When the basement becomes damaged by intruding water, our team can offer fast water removal and drying options to help.

Floodwater Removal from Basement Floors

Because flood damage to Peabody homes can be devastating, immediate action is necessary to begin mitigating losses. Our SERVPRO professionals have several extraction devices to manage standing water and debris from the basement level. High-pressure pumps and truck-mount extractors have the power to pull water over considerable distances and heights to address basement standing water concerns.

Thorough Drying of Supports and Joists

Drying up the damage after a flooding incident is critical to preventing secondary effects like mold or multiplying contaminants and pathogenic threats. We strategically place our efficient drying equipment throughout this lower level and monitor the progress with moisture meters and infrared imagery. Some of the tools used in this venture include:

• Air movers
• Dehumidification equipment
• Positive pressure systems
• Portable heaters
  

Mold Prevention and Surface Cleaning Solutions

After flooding, elements in the basement can be met with residues and soils that can be harmful and destructive to underlying substrates. We prioritize surface cleaning to prevent situations where possible contaminants can multiply and spread in the house. Biocides and disinfectant cleaning products are a large part of our surface cleaning strategies for flooded basements.

As challenging as flooding can be, our SERVPRO of Salem / Peabody / Marblehead team can help. We are ready 24/7 at (978) 744-4545.
