What Gear is Necessary to Clean Up and Restore My Flood-Damaged Home?

Sacramento Flood Damage cleanup and restoration companies, like SERVPRO, use a wide range of advanced tools to quickly and effectively remediate your flood-affected home.  This high-tech gear includes the following:

• Portable and truck-mounted water extractors to rapidly remove feet of standing water from your residence
• Submersible pumps to facilitate large water extraction projects
• Refrigerant and desiccant dehumidifiers that quickly remove moisture from your home’s air and interiors
• Air movers and box fans to circulate and dry interior air
• Injectidry systems that dry difficult-to-reach spaces behind ceilings and walls

SERVPRO technicians, using this equipment, can effectively dry all areas of your house following a flood.

How Does SERVPRO Sanitize My Residence?

After removing standing floodwaters and drying your interiors, our remediation experts sanitize your home with state-of-the-art foggers.  These foggers broadcast the following types of antimicrobials into all affected areas of your house:

• EPA-approved bacteria, virus, and fungus-killing antimicrobials
• Pairing agents that combine with harmful particles, causing them to drop from the air onto surfaces where they can be more easily removed
• Humidity-reducing agents that hinder microorganism survival and growth

These chemical agents help remove the harmful bacteria and viruses deposited by floodwaters from your home. Also, they help prevent future structural damage resulting from dry rot and other fungal issues.
