SERVPRO Can Restore Storm and Water Damaged Properties in Flagler Beach

Flagler Beach flood damage can be a tragic event to your home or condo. The nature of the assault on your space will dictate the course for successfully restoring your water damaged home. Safety is a top priority. A severe water intrusion can result in electrical, and structural hazards. Don't enter your home under these conditions.
 
Call your insurance agent as soon as it is feasible. The problem with flood insurance is this---are you covered? If the flooding is a result of a burst water pipe, broken appliance, or a wind-driven water intrusion (broken window, hole in the roof), then standard homeowners insurance policies cover these types of water damage. If your flood is the result of rising water from a coastal tide, rapid water drainage or sewage backup due to inundating ground water, then flood insurance covers the damages. Hopefully, you are covered. This does require a separate policy. Ask your agent for a recommendation for a reliable company to restore your water damaged property. SERVPRO is a preferred vendor for most insurance and many property management companies in Florida. By working closely with your adjuster, we can expedite the cleanup and restoration procedures as we also save you money. We can alleviate stress while assisting you with the claims process and related paperwork. 
 
When these concerns have been addressed, and if you have been given permission to enter your home, you may wish to document the flood damage for insurance purposes. Be sure that you do take pictures of the flooded areas of your home and any damaged belongings, including furniture. Once you have secured the services of a company like SERVPRO, our inspector will generate a CCIS report which indicates water damage on a room by room basis. This report will show our suggests on retaining salvageable items, questionable ones, and those that should be discarded. The final decision rests with you and your insurance agent.

Immediate water extraction with the use of powerful pumps, wet-vacs, and sump pumps will expel the gross volume of standing water. This rapid water removal will mitigate secondary water damage to furnishings and structural materials. Porous materials like drywall will be safely wrapped and discarded to prevent cross-contamination and the proliferation of mold growth. This growth could lead to unwanted health effects.
 
It is wise to call a team of professionals like SERVPRO to execute the above procedures which will continue with the placing of air movers, and dehumidifiers to extract moisture from soft materials and the ambient air. The cleanup entails using industry leading equipment and products. Foggers are used to attack hidden pockets of moisture and to deodorize and sanitize the property.
 
After the clean up has taken place, then repairs and restoration can also be completed by our company that can handle the entire flood damaging event--from assessment to completion. Our goal is to limit costs to you by replacing structural materials and furnishing only as a last resort. Water damage to your Flagler Beach residence will be remedied as we return your home to its pre-flood condition "Like it never even happened."
