Our team knows how devastating & stressful flood damage can be. Let us take care of your home and restore it to preloss condition.

Pembroke Pines Homes Are Vulnerable to Flood Damage

Living in South Florida seems to protect us from the possibility of earthquakes and tornadoes, leaving us pretty calm about the threats of Mother Nature outside of hurricane season. However, we would do well in remembering the sheer amount of water present in our region. When you live in Pembroke Pines, torrential downpours could quickly escalate to put your home in the path of an overflowing canal or rising water level.

For flood damage to your home in Pembroke Pines, our expert SERVPRO team is your best resource. Our technicians are IICRC-certified to be your ally in water removal and the restoration of your home. As much as we prepare when hurricane season approaches, we should also be ready to call the 24/7 service provided by SERVPRO should the need arise. Quick action is essential in mitigating the damage and loss following a flood event at your home.

The impact of flood water is not the same as that caused by a regular water leak in your home. Flood water carries added bacteria and unwanted organisms that can quickly multiply in your home if left untreated. Our Green Fleet excels at knowing what can and cannot be salvaged in your home. Porous materials such as carpets need to be immediately removed, whereas other surfaces can be treated and disinfected by our SERVPRO technicians. Our knowledge and expertise allow us to recognize the best methodology to apply when disaster strikes.

In Florida, where humidity is already a factor, acting quickly to remove water and dry the inside of your home can help prevent the proliferation of mold and other bacteria. By using hygrometers and other sensors, we verify moisture levels and complement our work with air movers, dehumidifiers and other techniques to speed up the drying process. Our SERVPRO team has access to the latest equipment and technology, which is superior to what the average homeowner might be able to find at their local hardware store. Calling in the professionals can make all the difference in controlling the extent of the flood damage to your home.

SERVPRO of East Pembroke Pines is your best resource when facing flood damage. Call us at (954) 998-0600 and allow us to work for you.
