SERVPRO Swiftly Extracts Storm Water from Agoura Properties

Floodwaters Pose Difficult Removal and Restoration Processes

Time is of the essence when a storm hits Agoura. Within a matter of hours, the floodwaters could overwhelm your home and compromise its structural integrity. Snakes, frogs, and other animals could swim into the house. Wet electrical boxes and felled power lines become a safety hazard. Even your car may become submerged in water and fail to start. The overall experience can be devastating.

The best way to protect yourself and your family is by escaping to the roof if the floodwaters are so high and then calling a restoration company when the floodwaters recede. SERVPRO has many years of experience dealing with water and flood damage in Agoura. During that time, we have helped numerous homeowners recover from a wide range of gray and black water flood damage. Thanks to a combination of experience, advanced cleaning and drying equipment, and dedication to client satisfaction, our IICRC-qualified technicians have returned damaged properties to a pre-damaged condition in no time.

Our flood damage recovery process always begins with water extraction from the property. The volume of water determines the extent of the water extraction process - the larger the flood, the more complicated the removal becomes. Typically, gray and black water may require decontamination efforts once done with the extraction part.

SERVPRO water extraction technicians have two main objectives when undertaking flood damage remediation. First, we have to protect the structure from excessive absorption of the floodwater. Secondly, we need to reduce the risk of secondary damage while controlling evaporation (which can lead to mold growth and mold damage).

Add to this the fact that rapid extraction of water can significantly decrease the amount of "strip-out" needed after a flood; using SERVPRO professional extraction services can significantly reduce repair costs that generally come with such an event. Once the work is done, we carry out thermal monitoring, environmental data logging processes, and hygiene testing to minimize the possibility of degradation. Indeed, it would be naive to assume that just because things look clean or dry, that is the case.
