Storm Damage to a Caldwell Lower Level

The stormwater ran into this Caldwell dwelling because of a clogged drainage system. When the homeowner quickly rectifies the malfunction, the water damage can be minimized. But not before some water wicked into walls and saturated the carpet and padding. Unclean stormwater can carry pathogens and debris that protocols mandate disposal, not salvage. The "flood-cuts" can reduce the demolition needed to the walls, reducing replacement and labor costs. SERVPRO tries to preserve, then restore rather than replace materials and possessions, whenever possible. The After Photo illustrates the work needed to secure the home environment from potential health hazards and secondary water damage from mold, mildew, odors, and further degradation. Our technicians spray an antimicrobial product on all affected surfaces. Call us for help; we are always available.
