Storms happen quickly in our area. React just as fast with a call to SERVPRO. Our technicians are standing by 24/7 to take your emergency call.

Flash Floods Require a Professional Team

Even though it feels like we should no longer be in the rainy season, we continue to see torrential downpours wreaking havoc throughout South Florida.  Storms are so intense that even airport operations suffer the consequences, and homeowners find themselves rushing to protect their homes. As idyllic as Hollywood is, it is not immune to the sudden shift in weather patterns, and we need to prepare to deal with the aftermath of excessive rains.  The local government agencies certainly play an essential role in keeping streets and sewers in good working order, but we also have a part to play. 

For flood removal services in Hollywood, you can rely on SERVPRO.  Flash floods can happen quickly, without you even realizing that your home is vulnerable to flooding.  As much as you attempt to control the entry of debris and outside bacteria into your home when flash flooding occurs, it may be inevitable.  How you react to the event can make all the difference for you and your family. Many homeowners choose to extract water and disinfect their homes by applying solutions found at local hardware and home improvement stores.  Little do they know that bacteria may remain despite their best efforts, causing a problem that only gets worse with time.

The best way of leveraging the expertise of our SERVPRO technicians is by allowing us to assess the situation with our industry-specific tools, which enable us to detect excess moisture, even if it is not evident to the naked eye.  Our equipment helps us identify water collected behind walls and under flooring, which in turn allows us to perform a thorough job of eliminating traces of black water brought in by the flooding. Once we return humidity levels to regular readings, we can proceed to disinfect with targeted solutions that prevent the growth of propagation of bacteria throughout your home.

Flash flooding is not a small matter. As soon as outside water enters your home, you are subject to the proliferation of mold and bacteria.  Our SERVPRO of East Pembroke Pines crew can help you dissipate such an unpleasant event by applying a systematic approach to cleaning and disinfecting your home.  When you call us at (954) 998-0600, you let us work hard to leave your home, “Like it never even happened.”
