Storms are frequent in New Jersey and present flooding challenges. SERVPRO is always ready to restore your flood damaged home.

How to Get Efficient Flood Damage Restoration in Your Montville Residence

Heavy rain in Montville usually causes the level of water in the Passaic River to rise, and this increases the risk of flooding in nearby properties. The presence of floodwater in a building often results in undesirable consequences. Many types of destruction can occur, such as ruined drywall, furniture, ceilings, and hardwood flooring.

If your Montville residence sustains flood damage, knowing whom to call for help is crucial. It is not always advisable to attempt to perform flood clean-up on your own because of the many threats present during this kind of disaster. You can get high-quality restoration services from SERVPRO. Our restorers can help you to clean up, dry, and disinfect the affected surfaces to restore your property to its original condition.

After we receive your call, our restorers can get to your home quickly and assess the situation. We can consider the length of time the water has been in the house, hazardous substances in the floodwater, and the presence of mold contamination. Our restorers can identify and resolve any safety hazards.

Floodwater damages increase the longer it sits in a home. Our team can use heavy-duty water removal equipment to give your home the best chance to dry out. When the water has soaked floors, walls, and other surfaces, it is critical to use advanced techniques to dry and dehumidify the property. If you do not remove the water and moisture quickly, wood flooring drywall can absorb it and become discolored or misshapen. Mold can also grow on porous surfaces, and cause health effects to the inhabitants.

Touching or looking at the areas where water pooled cannot give an accurate representation of how wet your home is. Our team can use thermal imaging cameras to find and monitor moisture. A thermal imaging camera makes it easier to detect moisture because the water stays at the same temperature longer than solid structures. With this equipment, our restorers can find moisture that would have otherwise remained hidden. At the end of the drying process, thermal imaging cameras offer excellent documentation that your home is dry.

Flooding can also damage the building materials or finishes of your property, making it necessary to replace them. Water breaks down materials naturally, and it ruins materials like plywood, drywall, wood, and framing. Our SERVPRO team can perform the necessary restoration work. We can remove, replace, and fix any structural components that sustained damage.

Floodwater also poses a risk of infection because of the presence of toxins, bacteria, and other hazardous substances in it. Our team can use anti-microbial solutions to eliminate bacteria and other microorganisms.

When flooding happens in a house, working with a trusted restoration company is essential to ensure correct project completion. Call SERVPRO of East Central Morris County at (973) 887-9100 for effective restoration services. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.
