Storm Damage- "Like it never even happened."

9/22/2020 (Permalink)

When you experience storm damage, the hours and days immediately following can be chaotic.  However, one of the worst things you can do in this event is to wait. The longer it takes cleanup & restoration professionals to arrive, the more mitigation and repairs may be necessary. Acting quickly and having an idea of what to expect will help ease your mind.

Here’s what you can expect when you call SERVPRO of Piscataway after a storm has brought flood waters into your home or business:

• If there is standing water, our technicians will remove any affected contents to prevent further damage, and then use pumps to extract the water.
• For carpeted areas, our technicians will lift the carpet and pull the pad underneath before relaying the carpet and placing drying equipment (fans and dehumidifiers). For tile and hardwood surfaces, we use extraction mats to help pull water from the material.
• After removing any standing water, our technicians will use a Moisture Meter to perform a moisture inspection of the affected rooms, and continue to run drying equipment and to monitor your home until everything is confirmed to be dry.
• For nonsalvageable materials (such as affected drywall or flooring), our technicians are trained to complete the repairs necessary. There will be an inventory and pictures of all salvageable and nonsalvageable content.

If you have experienced storm damage, call us today at 732-752-4445.
