Cleaning Up After Plymouth Home Flood Extraction

Plymouth residents never fear, SERVPRO is here for your Plymouth storm damage.

Storm damage can get out of hand, let SERVPRO help your Plymouth home get back on top.

Extraction is always one of the first tasks that must occur when flooding has damaged your Plymouth home. The faster that our professionals can reduce standing water and begin drying the property, the less installed structural elements that risk overexposure and deterioration. Our professionals must implement premier cleaning practices using potent disinfectant products to bring your property back to preloss condition to truly make flood losses “Like it never even happened.”

There are many steps involved in the management and restoration of flood damage to Plymouth properties. However, the post-extraction cleaning and cleanup after necessary reconstruction are vital to the finished product. Debris can exist from the path that flooding took into your home, even if it is a clear water incident. Insulation, deteriorated drywall and ceiling tile, and dirt are all components of residue and remnants our SERVPRO team must address after flooding.

Preparing your property for this cleaning phase often begins with practical extraction efforts. With the presence of solids or debris in the standing water, our professionals must use more powerful extractors with larger intake and discharge hoses like our self-priming trash pumps. For clean water incidents, the preferred extraction tool for even widespread floodwater is the electric submersible pump. This machine provides a steady, quiet removal of water until the affected area is less than 2 inches in depth.

Debris removal can happen in the early stages of flood mitigation and following controlled demolition/build back through a trusted, reputable contractor. Removing residues from surfaces requires the use of one of many disinfectants and cleaning agents available through our SERVPRO line of products. Some of these products help to provide a polished finish on the affected surface, such as our revitalizing cleaning compound for hardwood floors that leaves a slight sheen finish.

No matter how widespread or severe flood loss effects can be after a disaster, our SERVPRO of Plymouth / Wareham professionals can help with a fast response as well as premier restoration and cleaning practices. No matter how we can help, you can reach us 24/7 at (508) 746-9500.
