SERVPRO Provides Flood Damage Cleanup in Tega Cay

When flood or water damage has impacted your property in Starke, it's imperative that cleanup begin as soon as possible. Doing it yourself is something that people attempt to save money, but that often results in missing hidden damage that certified SERVPRO professionals are trained to spot during the aftermath.

These professionals not only know what to look for but have the equipment available to expedite the process. This SERVPRO expertise not only helps get the property back into working order but also avoids the ugly hazards that could develop.

Hazards Abound

Some of the dangers that any onslaught of water can do to a home or office include damaging both the water purification and sewage disposal systems. This flood damage results in unsanitary conditions that lead to a breeding ground for infectious organisms like tetanus, typhoid, salmonella, Hepatitis A and E. Coli. Also, standing water is an enticement for mosquitoes that can spread encephalitis and West Nile Virus.

Hiring the Right Professionals

Based on those ominous considerations, contacting the restoration-certified professional such as your local SERVPRO expert should be the first step. Their credentials are certified by The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), will help make the selection process easier.

Determining Insurance Coverage

Prior to cleanup, check that you are covered through insurance since not every policy is the same. Some don't cover either the cleanup from a flood or the water damage that results, or both while a bursting pipe may be covered, but rising water isn't.

In many cases, the circumstances unique to a specific situation may be the final determination regarding a homeowner’s coverage, so check with your insurance company.

DIY is Not an Option

No matter how simple a cleanup may seem in your Storm Damaged Tega Cay home, more expensive repair bills may be the outcome. Some results of this can be in material like wood and cloth, which will eventually dry out, but help set the stage for such challenges as dry rot and mold.

Simplicity in a Time of Trouble

Flood damage cleanup is a harrowing process, but it can go more smoothly when certified professionals, such as a SERVPRO expert,  are handling the effort. They offer peace of mind at a time of chaos, and can often salvage items thought lost forever.
