Cleaning Up After A Flood

While no one likes the idea of living through a flood, knowing how to react to one can help save you unnecessary expense and hardship, should one ever come to your part of Keene. Flooding can happen for several reasons and cover large areas of the city or just a low-lying neighborhood.

SERVPRO is always ready to help residents in Keene cleanup after a disaster involving flood damage happens. The restoration of your home is crucial to its safe and healthy condition. Merely letting a home air dry after a flood leaves behind illness-causing pathogens, increases the chances of microbial infestation, and allows water damage to develop unchecked. We can help you get everything back under control and healthy again, “Like it never even happened.”

Because evaporation of flood waters lifts water vapor into the air, we need to work quickly to protect areas in your home that are currently undamaged. High levels of moisture in the air can damage other materials, including structural components, throughout your home. We arrive with the proper equipment to both dry and clean your home back to sanitary conditions, so you don't need to worry about your children becoming exposed to harmful elements of contamination within your home.

We use cleaning tools that remove silt and other debris from all surfaces in your home, and HEPA-filters on all of our vacuum cleaners. We also use chemical agents to clean both non-porous and porous items, so we eliminate any remaining pathogens.

While many of our cleaners leave a fresh and pleasant scent, hidden microbes can produce more unpleasant scents. We can eliminate these odors quickly if needed, so your home becomes more and more like it was before the disaster.

Removing damaged materials also helps eliminate odors as well as hazards in your home. Wherever we see damaged materials, we remove these so we can replace them with similar items. However, when we find we can clean the item instead effectively and thoroughly, we choose to do this, instead. This keeps your restoration costs more manageable, and can also help make the entire process faster.
