Prepare for Flood Damage During Hurricane Season In Hollywood

Homeowners in Florida are well-versed in preparing their homes for the rainy season. Even before the hurricane season officially opens, you can already find publications highlighting resources for when disaster strikes. For better or worse, history has taught us to prepare for water events. The City of Hollywood also prepares its residents with information about its specific risks, particularly as it pertains to flooding due to storm surge. Part of that preparation process includes understanding the potential impact of outside water coming into your home. Knowing what to expect and anticipating its effects is essential to minimizing its impact on your life and finances.

SERVPRO is your local restoration specialist when there is flood damage to your Hollywood home. Floodwaters carry debris that may pose a threat to your home and family. Aside from the more substantial items, a flood can bring with it, such as tree branches and construction materials, the water can also bring invisible residues into your home. Bacteria, sewage, and even pesticides can all make their way into your house as a result of the storm.

Our SERVPRO team is active as soon as the area is safe to enter. Our command center is available 24/7, so we arrive at your home as soon as possible. Upon arrival, our technicians wear personal protective equipment to create a barrier between them and any potential hazard, all beginning a thorough assessment of the damage. By using specialized industry equipment, we determine just how much moisture and debris are in your home, and we work on a specific plan to remove it. We may use truck-mounted pumps, submersible pumps, and even smaller extraction wands to optimize all water extraction, all while closely monitoring humidity levels.

In the case of flooding, our SERVPRO technicians also apply their professional knowledge to disinfect your home. We clean each surface with solutions specific to its composition, keeping in mind the distinct needs of wood, laminates, and other building materials.
