SERVPRO professionals have the skills and equipment to restore your home after flood damage "Like it never even happened."

Rely on SERVPRO for Thorough Flood Damage Remediation Services

With the many streams and rivers near Battle Ground, flooding can happen almost anywhere. When such a catastrophe happens, flooding can cause extensive damage to area homes and businesses.

Homes in Battle Ground which sustain flood damage can regain their former conditions through professional mitigation services. SERVPRO technicians can assist homeowners with damaged homes, starting with removing any standing water via large pump trucks.

We continue this extraction of water, changing to smaller sized equipment. Some materials, however, require removal, followed by replacement of similar ones. As we remove and dispose of waterlogged materials in your property, we keep a sharp eye out for any safety issues that also require attention. Ensuring we remove all damaged items from your property protects you and your family from these additional dangers.

This danger is particularly relevant when it involves removal of the carpeting. Tacks and other sharp debris can easily escape detection unless workers thoroughly examine the area for such items and remove them. This happens in almost every flooded home because of the severe damage such carpeting sustains while underwater. The pathogen load deposited, by itself, renders such carpeting a hazardous material, unsuited for restoration efforts. Replacing with new remains the most cost-effective option.

As we remove such items like drywall, our IICRC certified technicians take care to do so correctly, so restoration can occur without any need to tidy up our work. Leaving only smooth, clean lines and solid framework beams, restoration can proceed as soon as we finish.

We must also take into consideration any waterlogged personal belongings that require attention. We clean these items, so they pose no risk to your family. Hard materials such as toys and many other housewares can easily come clean with hand tools on-site, never needing to leave your home. We understand that a flood is a traumatic time for any family, so avoiding any unnecessary stress can help immensely during your recovery time.
