Homes in our Florida area get flooded sometimes. Contact SERVPRO for your water removal needs.

Removing Flood Damage from a Pensacola Beachfront Rental Home

Florida has three times the number of homes vulnerable to flooding compared to most other states in the continental US, and homeowners know to be prepared for the risks. However, even with extensive preparation, flooding happens and can cost as much as $20,000 to repair the damage caused by one inch of standing water. However, homeowners do not have to handle the cleaning process alone. 

If you need fast-acting cleanup services after flood damage to your Pensacola beachfront residence, SERVPRO technicians are available 24/7 to restore your home. These professionals also possess contractor licenses for biohazards (#17-64-1560497) and mold remediation (#MRSR 2768), so you get more than just a deep clean. SERVPRO focuses on maximizing safety for homeowners and renters while ensuring that their restoration is done per building codes and insurance policies. 

SERVPRO Education Saves Homes

Both SERVPRO technicians and franchise owners are required to receive extensive education on disaster cleanup as well as the theory behind water and fire-related disasters. Technicians also have access to continual online education to hone their ability to serve homeowners.

• Water & Fire Damage Restoration

This team cares about educating professionals so that they can aid homeowners in getting the services they need while preserving their possessions and structures as much as possible. 

How SERVPRO Can Help

If flood water has accumulated in your kitchen, SERVPRO can use sump pumps and back-mounted extraction equipment to remove any remaining standing water. Cabinetry and fixtures are examined thoroughly for moisture, and extraction is just as comprehensive. Before air movers and dehumidifiers are implemented, technicians can use a variety of disinfection methods to clean your space. Tile flooring may be sprayed down with industrial-grade, EPA-registered antimicrobials. Sheetrock or drywall may need flood cuts to facilitate drying of the interior layers of the walls, which can quickly absorb water if the composition includes materials like gypsum and cardboard.  

SERVPRO of West Pensacola can ensure your property looks, "Like it never even happened." If you need reliable disaster cleanup, call (850) 469-1160 today.
