What damage can flooding cause?

When flood water leaks into your residence, it can cause severe damage to valuable contents and structures. The longer you ignore the flood damage in your Great Falls property, the more the building materials like drywall and wood can absorb moisture.

Most property owners ignore small flood leaks, which cause major structural damage in the long run. Small flood leaks into your basement or living room from a broken window can also cause severe damage to your wooden floor and valuable contents. It is essential to note that moisture boosts mold spores from dormant to active state of colonization. Mold can cause health issues to the property’s occupants. In addition, the leak can lead to wood rot if ignored for an extended period.

What should I do to ensure safety after flood damage?

We respond fast to emergency calls and begin the restoration process speedily. Our experienced technicians can minimize the damage and get your property to its former glory in a short period.  Before our responders get to the affected property, we advise our customers to:

Avoid walking into the flooded area, especially if the electricity is on.

Wear gloves when handling items in floodwater to avoid cross-contamination.

Shut off utilities in the property, especially electricity and water

Throw away foodstuffs that came into contact with the floodwater.

How can you extract the high water levels in basements?

We use advanced equipment for effective and fast flood water extraction. Floodwater can bring different debris and soil into your property. Therefore, we can use a self-priming trash pump to extract the excess water in your basement. The equipment can pass solids together with floodwater. If we discover that there is water behind walls, we can conduct controlled demolition for easy access.   

Is decontamination necessary?

Floodwater goes through several surfaces such as sewer lines and may tag along with small dead animals. The contamination can cause odors and serious health issues to the occupants. We can use antimicrobial sprays to decontaminate the affected area. Our flood restoration process usually involves:

Water extraction

Decontamination

Effective drying

Deodorization
