SERVPRO Crews are Experts at Mitigating Flood Damage in Peabody

Summer storms bring flooding that can wreak havoc and damage your home. When that happens, you need emergency services for water damage ASAP. SERVPRO is ready to help.

Dealing with Debris in Your Basement

When floods surge through Peabody homes, the flood damage carries debris, contaminated water, and silt. You can find everything from tree limbs to dead animals floating in the water. There are also contaminants such as bacteria and waste material. But our IICRC technicians know just what to do to remove the muck and mire. Flood restoration services include:

• Utilizing trash pumps that can remove debris-filled water
• Mucking out the mess with rakes and shovels
• Employing other water extractors as needed
• Spraying the area with EPA approved disinfectants
• Properly disposing of all contaminated material
• Drying the home with commercial air movers and dehumidifiers

Returning Your Basement to Pre-Loss Condition

Once the water, dirt, and debris get removed from your basement, we start a more precise cleanup. Certain things cannot get cleaned if they have contact with black water. This includes things such as mattresses, carpets, and upholstered furniture. We attempt to restore everything we can, as it is generally more cost-efficient than replacing items. Our services include:

• Basement flooding cleanup
• Water removal services
• Sewage cleanup
• Water damage remediation
• Ceiling repairs from water damage
