Are There Risks With Basement Flooding in Newington Homes?
5/17/2021 (Permalink)
Our experienced flood restoration team must carefully extract water from Newington basements.
Several feet of standing water is possible in the house's basement levels, making a substantial obstacle for our responding technicians to overcome. When outside flooding has infiltrated the property, standing water surrounding the structure can impact the softness and saturation of soil against blockwork and foundational materials. Our technicians extract water and look for signs of physical damage forming or structural changes like:
- Bulging materials
- Leaks and water running
- Missing/damaged mortar joints
Are Repairs Necessary During Flood Restoration?
By removing flood damage in Newington homes in stages, we can better regulate when repairs or reconstruction is necessary. Flood damage and water damage repairs often coincide, as long exposures to moisture can deteriorate sensitive building materials like drywall and wood framing.
From the extraction of standing water after basement flooding to the possible repairs your property might need, our SERVPRO of Newington / Central Hartford is a one-stop-shop for restoration and recovery. Call us today at (860) 667-9191.
