Is Randolph Area Storm Flooding More Threatening Than Other Water Intrusions?

Floodwaters can quickly damage the structure and contents of your home. Contact team SERVPRO to help with remediation during this time.

What Additional Problems to Randolph Homes Come with Floodwater?

Floodwater contains contaminants from the soil, garbage, and everything else it touches before entering a home or business. These contaminants cause further issues requiring additional demolition, types of cleaning agents, and more:

• Permanently stained drywall
• Carpets cannot be restored for safe use
• Increased pungent malodors throughout the home
• Increased threat of mold growth

SERVPRO trains personnel to reduce or eliminate these flood damage effects in Randolph homes. Our response teams start by spraying all open water (puddles, water in basements, etc.) with an antibacterial agent to reduce the physical risk to our specialists and anyone else who might enter the home.

Specialists then bring in water pumps. They remove all water directly into the nearest sewer access point or, if one is not available, into a holding tank for delivery to a water treatment center. Next, they spray every now-exposed surface again and then remove all property too damaged for restoration. This allows other team members to concentrate on restoring the salvageable structural and personal property.
