Recovery After a Flood Requires a Combination of Restoration and Reconstruction Solutions for Metairie Properties.

Flooding is not an uncommon situation for Louisiana, and it can require immediate mitigation and restoration services to resolve. The experience of our SERVPRO team can have skilled technicians working on vital mitigation efforts as soon as possible to protect installed elements and contents within the structure.

Removing Standing Water and Affected Contents 

With how widespread flood damage in Metairie, LA homes can become, flooring materials like carpeting and hardwood can immediately absorb this migrating moisture and result in irreparable harm. Clearing surface water and trapped moisture in the flooring materials happens with a combination of specialty removal tools such as:

• Carpet Wands 
• Weighted Extractors
• Light Wands
• Squeegee Wands

Carpet Cleaning Services for Exposed Flooring

After much of the floodwater has been pulled from affected materials like the carpets, cleaning these fibers on the surface layer can be vital. Deep cleaning and conditioning of carpeted floors restore the vibrancy of colors and patterns while improving the feel and function of the flooring. We have several carpet cleaning tools to help after flooding.

Reconstruction Solutions Needed After Flooding 

While reconstruction is not always required after flood damages, this is often a requirement to return a property to pre-flood conditions. From attic water penetration to other envelope concerns, our general contractor license can help to provide needed services in-house, from controlled demolition through the build-back requirements. 

The impact of flooding on local homes can be devastating, especially when homeowners have not acted quickly to secure restoration professionals. As leading recovery technicians, our SERVPRO of Metairie team can help with the needed cleaning and reconstruction. Give us a call anytime at (504) 496-0193.
