Seminole, a city in Florida with significant ties to Native American heritage, hosts 19,364 residents.

The city offers recreational opportunities within parks, nature reserves, and outdoor recreational areas like Seminole Lake Park and Freedom Lake Park.

Seminole hosts a full calendar of annual events ranging from holiday parades to arts and crafts festivals and farmers' markets where locals and visitors can interact.
If your Seminole property is affected by a water intrusion incident, you need to prioritize water mitigation. Such incidents cause many disruptions by creating operational challenges that force you to close or relocate operations temporarily. Document damage and data destruction may also occur, further hampering your operations. SERVPRO® handles mitigation conveniently, ensuring you resume operations in time.
Short term solutions
- Assessing moisture penetration
- Setting up safety signs
- Ventilation and humidity control
Water spillage leaves surfaces slick, leading to slip-and-fall accidents. It can also leave ceilings soggy, putting them at risk of collapse. Our SERVPRO crews set up wet floor signs or barrier tapes to isolate risky areas before resolving the problems. Knowing the moisture spread within the property is also essential to determine how much damage to expect. Our technicians have moisture meters and sensors to take quick readings. Another initial step is humidity control, so we set up dehumidifiers around your premises.
Long term solutions
- Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces
- Identifying and stopping the sources
- Extracting standing water
- Inspecting utilities like electrical systems
Mitigating water damage is easier after identifying and stopping the sources since any continued intrusion creates more issues. Our SERVPRO IICRC-certified technicians inspect for roof or pipe leaks and then seal openings or make replacements to halt further intrusion. Over time, moisture buildup within the property damages structural materials and contents. Our technicians enhance water removal with vacuum extractors, limiting moisture exposure.
