When an Open Window During a Bad Storm Floods Your East Norriton Basement

Call SERVPRO for Storm Water Removal from East Norriton Basements

Finished Basements Suffer from Storm Waters 

Flood damage is something that most homeowners are not equipped to deal with on their own. During the spring, rain can bring several inches of water during the season, and if your home is not well prepared, it can cause a problem. Accidentally leaving a window open in the basement may not seem like a big deal, but if the night brings a heavy and intense storm, it can ruin your morning. It would be hard to clean up several inches of water by yourself, but luckily there is professional help nearby to do it for you.

After receiving your call, our technicians can arrive swiftly at your East Norriton home to investigate the flood damage. Removing the water out of your basement as quickly is a priority. The longer stagnant water sits in a space, the more moisture the structure of your home can absorb. Excessive moisture creates the perfect breeding ground for mold, which can cause unfavorable odors, health effects, and even rot.
 
A SERVPRO estimator can explain the quickest way to extract the water and answer any questions you may have about the process. Afterward, our technicians can focus on removing the water and then dry out any of your belongings that are thoroughly soaked or just damp. When it comes to water extraction, we do not merely remove the water and leave. SERVPRO knows that soaked carpets and belongings are also in danger of water damage. In most cases, the carpet padding must be tossed, and if there is an indication of contamination in the floodwaters, then the carpet must also go.
 
We can use the same device to dry your carpets that we use to remove water, an extractor. The mix of heating and drawing the water away is the perfect tool to dry your carpets to an acceptable moisture level. Of course, dehumidification with our industry-leading equipment aids in the desiccation process. To make sure your belongings are dry, SERVPRO can use moisture meters to detect humidity levels. We leave the job site only when you are satisfied with the results.
 
When rainwater has overrun your home, do not delay. Phone SERVPRO of Norristown at (610) 272-8520. No matter the time, we can take your call and send our technicians as soon as possible.
