Do Beekman Homes Need Decontamination After a Flood?

SERVPRO technicians know all the steps to take after your home is affected by storm flood waters.

Beekman Homes Hit by Storm Damage Need Professional Storm Cleanup, and SERVPRO is the Answer

Storms can put homes at risk from all kinds of damage. Blackwater is one of the concerns when storm waters surge through buildings. Blackwater is contaminated and requires biohazardous handling. 

Is Black Water Deadly?

Storm cleanup in Beekman is vital because of the contamination in the water. Flash floods carry debris, bacteria, chemicals, and other nasty material. When the flooding stops, the standing water is then a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria. 

How Does SERVPRO Handle the Storm Cleanup?

Our IICRC technicians are experts in dealing with biohazardous material. They also have certification from the American Bio-Recovery Association (ABRA) and Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA). They come ready to clean with the correct PPE equipment and cleaning products. We use proprietary disinfecting and sanitizing agents, such as SERVPROXIDE. This product is:

• Fragrant free for those who are sensitive to smells
• On the EPA’s list for the lowest toxicity rating
• A hospital-grade disinfectant

Flash Flooding is Serious

Never take flash flood warnings lightly. The material that floods your home along with the water can be deadly. Prevent health issues by contacting SERVPRO of NW & SE Dutchess County at (845) 635-4550. We provide flood restoration, sewage cleanup, and water damage repairs.
