Get Flood Damage Cleanup For Your Dallas Home To Prevent Secondary Destruction
Dallas and the neighboring areas are situated in a tornado risk zone and floodplain, and they are therefore prone to frequent flooding, storms, and tornadoes. The winds that accompany tornadoes can be as fast as three hundred miles per hour, and they can cause heavy downpour and flooding. The outcomes of these storms can lead to the loss of life and property.
Storms may cause roof leaks and ground flooding that can lead to structural damage to your house. If your Dallas home has flood damage, it is crucial to act speedily and contact SERVPRO water damage remediation experts to help you remove the water and clean up your property to prevent further structural damage.
Our technicians can assess the destruction, offer you an estimate, and take the appropriate steps to bring your property back to pre-damage condition. We can remove debris, water, silt, mud, and other substances that floodwaters could have brought into your house. Our team has appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to remove contaminated water from your property. Some PPE we use includes:
• Rubber gloves
• Full bodysuits
• Eye protection
• Respirators equipped with P100/organic vapor cartridges
We have state-of-the-art equipment extraction equipment such as truck-mounted and portable pumps that can remove the standing water to speed up our drying process. If the water in your home is over 2 inches deep, our technicians can use submersible pumps to remove it.
We also use air movers to enhance evaporation at the surface level and minimize drying time. Our technicians can place enough air movers in your property to create airflow across all the damp surfaces. Our Applied Structural Drying Technicians (ASDs) can also use refrigerant dehumidifiers to remove water vapor from the air. These dehumidifiers remove about 8 gallons of water per day from the atmosphere.
Mold can grow on surfaces like drywall, floors, and ceilings within 24 to 48 hours of exposure to floodwater, posing health risks to you and your family. We can check your house for mold while completing the water extraction and drying process. Our technicians use tools like infrared cameras to locate moist areas that are not visible to the naked eye. We can dry all these areas to ensure that mold does not have any food source. Our SERVPRO crew also has the experience and tools to remove mold from surfaces. If we discover mold, we can remove it and disinfect your home to ensure that it is safe and clean for inhabitation.
In the unfortunate event of experiencing flooding in your Cedar Hill, Lancaster or Hutchins residential property, call SERVPRO of Southeast Dallas County for flood cleanup and drying services. You can reach our emergency crew 24/7 at (972) 227-0800.
