If your home has been damaged by a natural disaster, it’s normal to feel destabilized by the experience. Losing your home, even temporarily, is a major source of stress, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by it all. Fortunately, our team at Trident General Contracting is here to make it easier to restore your home to its former condition. We have extensive experience in repairing fire, storm, and flood damage, and we will make your home look like new. In this article, we will focus on our flood damage repair services, going over some key information about how they work so you know what to expect.
- Water Removal – The first step in flood damage repair is to remove all standing water from your home. Our team has specialized equipment—including suction tubes, vacuums, and pumps—to quickly remove the flood water from inside your home. Removing the water as soon as possible is critical for minimizing the damage.
- Moisture Removal – Once all the liquid water is removed, we will move on to the next step in flood damage repair, which is to remove as much moisture as possible from the air and from the materials in your home. We will use industrial fans and humidifiers to suck moisture out of porous materials, such as carpet.
- Cleaning and Sanitization – A third key step in flood damage repair is to thoroughly clean and sanitize every part of your home impacted by the flood water. This step is essential because flood water is contaminated with sewage, chemicals, bacteria, and other pathogens. Our team will sanitize every part of your home to ensure you, and your family are safe from these contaminants.
