Flood damage after big storm?

2/1/2023 (Permalink)

Storm Storm can create o lots damages.

Rain and storm surges are nothing new in Malibu, but when you experience flooding at your Malibu home, it is natural to feel a sense of panic. Once your interior floods, you might be tempted to assess the situation on your own. However, it would be helpful if you remembered that floodwater contains outside contaminants, and you never want to run the risk of electrical shock. Never enter flooded areas of your home if you are unsure. Call skilled water restoration technicians (WRT) from SERVPRO to handle the process from start to finish.

Du it your self is usually a significant mistake after a storm. SERVPRO specializes in water damage restoration, and our team knows how to perform water removal services and thorough drying. Our restoration process ensures no moisture remains that could bring on expensive secondary damage and potentially harmful black mold. There could also be structural issues that the untrained eye would not detect if there is a decent amount of floodwater intrusion – but SERVPRO will.

Some quick facts all Malibu residents should know about floodwater:

  • Floodwater is known as black water, which falls into the category of a biohazard.
  • Floodwater is best handled by trained professionals that follow strict safety guidelines.
  • Many porous materials and contents that come into contact with black water must get disposed of.

Once SERVPRO arrives at your property, we assess the flooding and begin water extraction to remove as much standing water as we can as quickly as possible. We bring professional-grade, high-powered fans and air movers to start the drying process. Our Green Fleet also comes stocked with dehumidifiers to pull remaining moisture from the air.

Further inspection of your property is crucial to determine if there is additional damage to drywall, flooring, and more. With controlled demolition, we can remove unsalvageable materials to replace everything with new materials and then finish off to eliminate any signs of flooding.

Call 310-456-2135 or request help online to have our SERVPRO Malibu/Topanga Canyon/Pacific Palisades at your door to begin flood damage restoration.
