Water Removal in Hyde Park After a Storm Causes Structural Damage

With advanced equipment, SERVPRO restores property to pre-damaged conditions, "Like it never even happened."

Mitigating Impacts on Structures Caused by Water Damage in Hyde Park

High winds damage structures, cause broken windows and introduce water damage to buildings in Hyde Park. Flood waters also introduce debris, silt, chemicals, and even sewage into homes, contributing additional damage to the building and creating safety concerns, including:

• Long-term exposure weakens flooring and drywall
• Bacteria and viruses may be introduced to the premises
• Electrical systems may be compromised
• Broken glass from windows may be present

SERVPRO takes all necessary precautions during water removal from your Hyde Park residence to ensure the safety of the crew and residents. We also act quickly to remove all water, debris, and storm damage to reduce the secondary damage that may occur to porous materials, including the growth of mold colonies.

Structural damage can be mitigated by acting as soon as possible after a storm has passed through the area; however, SERVPRO must check for safety concerns to ensure the safety of the crew and residents. For example:

• Spilled fuel or the odor of gas indicates a fuel leak
• Water in ceiling cavities must be removed before the ceiling caves in
• Porous flooring materials may not support the weight of people or machines
• Broken glass, exposed nails, and various sharp objects must be carefully removed
• Asbestos abatement processes are to be utilized if asbestos is present
• PPE must be worn while removing debris that potentially contains sewage, viruses, and bacteria

Our clients trust our SERVPRO team to act quickly and safely during water removal and drying operations to minimize secondary damage to your home and the contents of long-term exposure to water, debris, and biohazards carried by floodwaters into your home.
