Why Experience is Essential for Repairing Flood Damage in Lilburn Properties

Flash flooding can be devastating and as little as 2 feet of rushing water has the power to uproot trees and flip SUV's. In a community like ours keeping abreast of flood warnings is a necessary part of everyday life. We would also recommend creating an emergency kit containing essential documents, a cell phone, satellite radio as well as medication in a sealed, water-proof carrier. Reparations after the event need professional attention, and that is what we are here for.

A call-out to a property in the aftermath of Flood Damage in Lilburn is something we have much experience in. Being able to move and store items, relocate citizens and make ongoing repairs on site are just some of the essential things that experience has taught us. SERVPRO operate a 24-hour emergency call line for natural disasters with both individual IICRC certificate holders and Large Loss response teams.

Mitigating loss and establishing a safe environment for contractors to begin restoration is the first port of call in an emergency. Our technicians are trained to identify and remedy potential hazards like electrics as well as structural weakness. SERVPRO can restore power to property or perform emergency board ups to prevent further damages as soon as we arrive on site. 

Standing water can cause permanent damages by seeping into subfloor or wall cavities. Where standing water is above two inches we can use submersible gas pumps to drain the affected area. Below two inches, we bring in portable water extraction units that reduce the risk of damaging your carpets or upholstery. However, the job does not finish there. 

Removing water is the first step of the procedure. Secondary damages can occur if water resides hidden in areas of the home. We use moisture meters to seek out these areas and can remediate them using advanced technology. Drying mats, for example, are capable of removing moisture from your subfloor without removing hardwood flooring. The use of deodorizers and dehumidifiers can help make the damage "Like it never even happened." 

If you return to a damaged home after a natural disaster, contact SERVPRO of North Lilburn at (770) 709-3266 for immediate assessment and remediation.
