Floodwaters in your basement can be very dangerous. Call SERVPRO for fast and immediate storm damage repairs.

With multiple extraction tools, we can mitigate flood loss in Bristol residences. 

After floodwater enters a home, there is a finite timeline to mitigate before irreparable damage occurs. As trusted flood restoration professionals, we have a fast response when every minute counts.

Fast Extraction Solutions for Natural Flooding

In finished or unfinished spaces alike, flood damage to Bristol basements requires immediate extraction assistance. Our skilled SERVPRO professionals cannot identify the extent of the damage and the presence of secondary effects like mold without first removing pooled water. Because this lower level of the property sits under the grade of the ground outside, when penetration points exist, it could result in several inches or feet of standing water.

Clearing Surface Water Threats from Concrete Floors

As one of the low-porosity materials commonly used for flooring in unfinished basements, water can pool along the surface without considerable concerns about endangering saturation. This concrete material encountered in flooded Bristol properties makes for faster extraction and water removal, even when the size and magnitude of the flood damage do not constitute larger removal units like truck-mounted extractors. Some of the tools for the remaining surface water include:

• Squeegee wands
• Mops
• Towels
• Evaporative drying tools

Flooding is an unexpected and destructive force against area homes and businesses. Our SERVPRO of Bristol storm response team can help clean up the mess and return you to the property as soon as possible. Give us a call today at (860) 582-3330.
