One of the essential things that homeowners should understand concerning floodwater is that restorers classify it as Category 3 or black water. This water is potentially dangerous to your health and property because it contains disease-causing organisms, and possible chemical contaminants. If black water has contaminated carpets and other porous materials, it is necessary to replace them. After removing floodwater, our SERVPRO technicians can clean the affected surfaces using antimicrobial agents. These are the chemicals used against microbes to stop or limit their growth or prevent their development. Examples include mildew stats and fungi stats.
Floodwater might also get into wall cavities. To dry wall cavities, ventilation is essential. One of the things we can do to ventilate wall cavities is removing the baseboards and drilling holes between every stud. Our SERVPRO technicians can then force air through the holes into the wall cavities to enhance evaporation. If there is too much moisture, we can remove areas of drywall. We also perform dehumidification to decrease the chances of mold infestation.
