SERVPRO is Here to Help Dry Out Your Home after Flood Damage

Florida is one state that is prone to get affected by severe storms, including hurricanes. Sometimes rain comes down so quickly in Pensacola that your neighborhood gets flooded. Whenever water starts to get deep outside, it is very likely that it will creep into your home through the lower door seals or other weak spots on the exterior of your house.

If a hurricane blows through your neighborhood sometimes the extreme, high-speed winds cause objects to poke holes into windows or exterior walls. SERVPRO's flood damage technicians in Pensacola have experience in fixing problems created by wind. When there is a hole in your house during a storm, sometimes vast amounts of rainwater pour into your structure.

The first step we take in any emergency damage call is to repair any hazards that make the work area dangerous. Next, we fix the door seals or board up the holes in the exterior structure so that no more moisture makes its way into your home. Once the area is safe, and water is not pouring into the building we begin to assess the damage caused by the storm.

Our SERVPRO technicians use their knowledge, experience and specialized monitoring equipment when they inspect the area for problems. We search your house and identify all of the areas of the building that got affected by the storm. We then use monitoring equipment to test the building materials and contents within the affected regions for moisture.

If moisture levels are excessive we use our heavy-duty, truck mounted extraction system to vacuum up as much water as we can. In extreme cases where there is two inches or more of standing water, a submersible pump or sump pump gets used for sucking the water out of the house. If there is not an excessive amount of water in the building, sometimes all of the moisture gets dried out using air movers and dehumidifiers.

Dehumidifiers suck water out of the air dispensing liquid into a container and exhausting hot, dry air. The air movers then push the hot, dry air around the room in a circular motion speeding up the natural evaporation process. For assistance with drying after a storm, call SERVPRO of West Pensacola at (850) 469-1160 any day of the week.
