SERVPRO is Here to Help with Your Flood Damage Restoration Needs

Flood damage can be a tricky situation to handle. When a storm breaks a window in your home, it can allow excessive rainwater inside and all over your newly installed hardwood floor. In this situation, removing the water as soon as possible is essential. The longer the wood flooring in your home is exposed to water, the more damage can occur. It is necessary to call a professional, so they may remove the moisture and thoroughly dry your home. Fortunately, help is not far.

Our IICRC-certified technicians can arrive at your Calabasas home to remediate the flood waters as soon as possible. We understand how time-sensitive flood damage can be and strive to always come to the job swiftly. We can immediately begin by removing the flooded water from your home using portable pumps and wet/dry vacuums.

Once we clean up, SERVPRO can investigate the moisture levels of your wooden flooring with non-penetrative moisture meters. When we have an accurate reading, we can select the correct drying process for your unique situation.

The shape of wood can become altered when exposed to water for too long. SERVPRO can remove any soaked carpets on top of your hardwood floors, as the moisture they contain can be particularly damaging and lead to warping. After preparing to dry the area, our technicians can bring a variety of tools to assist in creating a moisture-free environment, like dehumidifiers and air movers.

Our SERVPRO technicians can install our tools to ensure that the entirety of your hardwood floor becomes dry. Air movers can also be placed in crawl spaces to help dry the flood damaged  flooring from the underside. It is essential to hit the floor from as many angles as possible to encourage thorough drying.
