If your home sustains flood damage, SERVPRO is here to help.

We have the tools and expertise to assist in the cleanup of flood damage

During the Spring months, Metairie receives more than its fair share of showers. Hurricane season also plays a significant role in how much our area gets drenched. Even when no major destructive storms make landfall, the amount of precipitation we experience surges, and sometimes overwhelms our city.

If your Metairie home suffers flood damage this Spring, SERVPRO can help your family recover quickly. Our employees receive IICRC certificates after engaging in comprehensive training sessions. We understand how stressful and challenging life becomes when crisis events occur and interfere with your ability to protect your family. The loss of your home, your family's sanctuary, creates a sense of horrible loss. Our goal is to make everything "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO technicians use different approved techniques and specialized equipment to resolve the many issues flood-damaged homes sustain. First, we ascertain the amount of water your home still retains. Invasive water absorbs into porous materials and stays there. Water also ends up in the air and then air currents in the residence force it into other areas, including those on higher levels. Drying out the home requires we remove all the water wherever it moves to within your home.

While our equipment dries out your residence's interior, our crew concentrates on cleaning things up and reducing any newly found dangers that could cause injuries. Working in a safe environment means fewer interruptions and a faster recovery period for our customers. Part of what we remove includes the damaged materials and structures of your dwelling. We also remove the silt, and other filthy muck carried in by the floodwaters.

Once your residence dries out completely, we can bring in the new materials needed to restore your home. Doing this too soon can expose these items to mold growth, water damage, and other hazards unnecessarily. Before installation, however, electrical work and inspections take place with our trusted partners to ensure this component of your home works correctly and without any risk.

SERVPRO of Metairie wants to help those living in our community recover as quickly as possible after flood damage affects their homes and families. Call our 24-hour emergency service line at our local number, (504) 496-0193, so we can assist you with our expert and friendly technicians.
