As we have recently seen, our area can sustain flood damage. SERVPRO is always available to be deployed to begin the restoration process.

Extraction is a Vital Process for Recovering a Flood-Damaged Edgewater Property

As is the case with many New Jersey towns, Edgewater can be in the path of destructive storms and adverse weather conditions. Powerful storm systems can leave many homes exposed to threats like flood damage, requiring professional restoration services to mitigate and restore. As leading water restoration professionals in the area, our SERVPRO of Fort Lee team shows that We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Eliminating Standing Water from Basement Floors 

Because flood damage in Edgewater homes can overwhelm areas like the basement, our team needs to respond quickly with mitigation solutions. Among the chief actions that our professionals can take is the removal of standing water. We have suitable extraction solutions like pumps and vacuums to manage pooling in this lower level, even with natural flooding that includes debris and solids.

Clearing Trapped Water from Wood Installations

Trapped water can also be a considerable concern for our professionals. Moisture can find its way into porous materials and deteriorate these elements after prolonged exposure. We have multiple drying solutions for damaged, damp wood. Surface and trapped moisture removal use tools like:

• Centrifugal air movers
• Drying mats
• Positive pressure systems
• Negative pressure systems
• Moisture monitoring equipment

Repairing the Structural Vulnerabilities Left Behind  

Among the many helpful services we offer is our ability to repair and reconstruct damaged properties after flood damage. Penetrating groundwater can destroy mortar joints in foundation walls or compromise the structural integrity of building elements. Experienced professionals with our general contractor license can complete necessary repairs to prevent recurrences of flooding.

Flooding can be a rapidly developing and devastating situation for area homes. With the fast response of our SERVPRO of Fort Lee team, we can help manage hazardous conditions and restore the property. Contact us today at (201) 496-6024.
