Floodwaters bring hazards. Don't DIY. SERVPRO has the tools to safely restore your home.

SERVPRO has the Equipment and Manpower for Complete Flood Damage Restoration in Nampa

Floodwaters can inundate a home in minutes, bringing water, debris, and toxic chemicals/materials into your Nampa home. Many homeowners do not have flood insurance due to the expense, or insurance coverage is not offered. When a flood occurs, many try to do the cleanup themselves to save money. However, there can be severe impacts taking this approach.

SERVPRO has been providing flood damage recovery and restoration in the Nampa area since 2009. We have seen the results and the damage caused by floods. We bring a team of experts and high capacity equipment to extract the water, remove damaged materials, and disinfect all affected areas. Unsalvageable materials are removed, and anything that can be salvaged is saved. Our equipment is set up in specific patterns to efficiently remove humidity and dry your home, including difficult to reach areas.

How Long Does it Take to Dry My Home?

The amount of damage and flooding can vary a great deal. The size and the scope of the damages, how long the water was in place, and the kind of building materials will determine how long it takes to dry your home. Shop vacs and room fans cannot correctly dry materials and structure before mold begins to set in.

SERVPRO utilizes high volume air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the affected area properly. A home or office can be dried within two or three days from the initial event. However, homeowners who initially tried to dry their homes before calling our team may find more water damage caused by the long exposure. Wood products absorb moisture and swell. Moisture can seep into concrete walls, which takes longer to dry. Mold colonies may have also begun to grow.

Don’t hesitate to call SERVPRO to help avoid additional water damage by allowing water to penetrate structures and building materials.
