When a flood hits your property, you need to call the technicians at SERVPRO.

SERVPRO Assists with Flood Restorations in Newington

Your home could be at risk whenever a vicious rainstorm strikes the area. Excessive rains can saturate your roof, and a leak could form if there are any holes or worn-out shingles. Wind from the storm can also cause objects like tree branches or rocks to become airborne and crash into your structure, possibly causing a hole. Windows can also break during storms causing moisture to enter your dwelling.

Whenever your home in Newington suffers from flood damage, the problems can be worse than they initially appeared. Once H2O leaks into your house, it will follow gravity and get all of your contents and building materials wet as it makes its way to your flooring. Therefore, if the moisture entering your house comes from a leaking roof, the water can negatively affect several of your building materials and contents, including your ceiling, walls, flooring, and furniture.

Services we can offer after a flood affects your home:

• Water Extraction Services
• Repair Damage Caused by Ceiling Leaks
• Fix Leaking Roofs
• Applied Structural Drying (ASD)
• Water Damage Debris Removal
• Decontamination of Contents and Structural Components
• Structural Deodorization

In some situations, our SERVPRO technicians can dry out and save your contents and building materials. But in other cases, we could have to remove and replace items like your ceiling, drywall, or flooring. Since moisture from the outdoors could contain contaminants, we must remove any porous building materials that get wet such as your carpet and pad. If your walls get wet, we can use an injection drying system to dry the inside of your wall cavity.
