Flooding damages your personal possessions. SERVPRO knows how to restore your flood damaged property.

Floodwaters are Frequently Categorized as Blackwater Emergencies and Pose a High Threat to your Possessions; SERVPRO has Storage Protocols to Protect your Contents During Flood Restoration

What types of storage are available for my contents in a flood situation?

There are two protocols for contents when restoring flood damage in your Newington home. The first covers on-site cleaning for minor to moderate floods. SERVPRO technicians can designate a clean room in your property and set up safe storage conditions. These conditions involve controlling humidity using dehumidifiers, placing polyethylene sheeting on the ground, and placing items separately on top of sheets. The second storage protocol is to remove contents from home altogether and store them at an external facility.

Are my possessions safe off-site during flood restoration?

When it is necessary to remove contents from a flooded property altogether, our technicians begin by recording an inventory of items and conditions. We then enlist professional removers to transport them from the site to our climate-controlled warehouse. Before storing any contents, we perform a thorough inspection of microbial infestation, vermin, and pests. Your possessions are at no risk of cross-contamination from other items during storage.

What are the advantages of removing contents from a flooded property?

• By removing items from the affected area, we can mitigate many loss-causing events
• A clear property can make access for restoring, equipment or remodeling less restrictive
• The conditions for efficient drying are less challenging to implement in a property without items

How do I get my property back from off-site storage after flood restoration is complete?

Move out services include transporting away from, and returning to, your home. Using our digital inventory recorded during the move-out, technicians can replace items in the correct rooms to limit any inconvenience. Contents can be returned to the property as soon as the required restoration and remodeling are complete. Pass the paperwork detailing the costs of removal onto your insurer for a stress-free claim.
