SERVPRO Can Save Your Home From Flood Damage in Newington

When it comes to potential flood damage, the threat is not limited to any particular season. Along with the onset of ice and snow in the winter, storm systems year-round are cause for alarm when they bring excessive moisture and rain. The best thing to do is ensure that you have a team of trained technicians that you can call at a moment’s notice to address the damage from floodwaters.

SERVPRO technicians know how to address seepage and flooding from the ground, causing harm to your home. We are available to tackle whatever needs you may have when it comes to flood damage in Newington, taking all of the stress and hassle out of such a trying situation. 

When you get hit with flooding during colder months, the top layer of the ground can freeze, and an icing coating develops. We have experienced crews trained to deal with flood remediation and mitigation so that you can get your house back to normal fast. Our training and experience from assessment to implementation of our tried and true techniques make the event “Like it never even happened.”

Know the Cold Weather Risks with Flooding

Any supply lines running throughout your exterior walls, crawlspace, out-buildings, or your slab foundation bring the potential for internal flooding. SERVPRO technicians often deal with water freezing in plumbing lines leading to a rupture of connections and piping. Even a steady drip coming from a slight fracture in a pipe can turn into a significant flooding event. Unless you catch it early, the damage could be worse than overland flood conditions. 

Always Consider Potential Contamination

Even during the winter, the flood water in your basement might have microbial contamination. Our SERVPRO technicians assess the floodwater source and how long the water has been pooling inside the home before determining the category. Whenever water hides within building crevices for a day or longer, dangerous mold growth is a possible hazard no matter what the temperatures might be. We employ best practices and industry standards to help contain, remove, and then dispose of floodwaters in your home along with biohazards within.
