SERVPRO Mitigates Flooded Properties in Manhattan

7/12/2021 (Permalink)

Flooding can affect both the structure and the contents of your home. Handle the situation by calling SERVPRO 24/7 365 days a year.

Drying Flood-Damaged Manhattan Townhouse Basements

Your Manhattan townhouse often has livable space in the basement area with finished construction. While this can be a welcomed addition to the layout of your home, it also poses risks when disasters like flooding strike. As the lowest levels of your property are often the first to succumb to the spreading floodwater, your finished basement requires professional IICRC-certified restoration technicians. They respond quickly to this emergency to provide real-time mitigation solutions designed to protect your belongings and dry up the damaged area.

When flood damage occurs in Manhattan, there is often no avoiding the need for controlled demolition and reconstruction. The amount of this removal effort required depends on the response of restoration technicians to the scene to begin mitigation tactics to prevent the spread of water damage throughout this area of the property. Our SERVPRO technicians are available 24/7 to respond to emergencies and provide immediate attention to damaged homes.

Basement Flooding Cleanup

Before we can get to the necessary drying efforts that your basement requires, our contents department can begin removing at-risk items from this lower level of your property. In many cases, with focused drying, disinfection, and cleaning, your belongings in this affected area can get restored entirely and returned to the property once restoration completes.

Drying is a vital component of the restoration and mitigation process following a flood. These efforts can help preserve structural elements like studs and framework to prevent costlier reconstruction bills once the area is thoroughly dried, disinfected, and cleaned. Our controlled demolition techniques can help make the transition between mitigation and reconstruction smooth and efficient, limiting the overall restoration process. 

As traumatic as flood damage might be to your home and your family, knowing the right team to call when disaster strikes can save you time and money in restoring the damages. You can count on our SERVPRO of Upper West Side to provide a fast response with industry-leading equipment to make flood damage “Like it never even happened.” Give us a call anytime at (917) 498-1362.
