SERVPRO deals with this hidden flood damage worry

Floods can leave your home and belongings waterlogged and smelling musty. Thankfully SERVPRO is here to help restore your house "Like it never even happened."

The risk of fungal growth after flood damage to your Whitestown home is real. Your restoration company mustn't overlook this risk. Floodwater soaks into materials and provides a breeding ground for fungus – and floodwater can also contain fungi and microbes. Once mold takes hold, it is hard to get rid of and can cause further damage to your home and belongings.

AMRT Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians

We train our staff to deal with fungal risks during flood damage remediation. For example, SERVPRO will:

• Swiftly dispose of unsalvageable materials such as carpets or drywall.
• Carefully clean and restore as many belongings as we can.
• Draw up a drying plan to get rid of damp and deny fungus the water it needs to grow.
• Apply anti-microbial treatments where necessary.

Our teams can also deodorize your home to blast away any lingering damp or moldy smells after a flood. If you need a comprehensive flood damage service, call SERVPRO of Hamblen County at (423) 318-6733.
