Black Water Remediation Procedure for Seminole Property Owners

Water that enters your home as a result of flooding has likely traveled a long way to get there. During the journey, it is more than likely to have picked up various debris some of which could be harmful to your health. This debris could include herbicides, pesticides, animal carcasses, trash or raw sewage. When flood water enters the home, it can cause damage to your structure resulting in further debris to be removed.

We provide a comprehensive service for both removal and restoration of flood damage in Seminole. As part of our service, SERVPRO can send a technician to your site immediately to begin mitigating against further damages. This mitigation could include performing emergency board ups in window frames or doorways as well as restoring power to the site. We can also make the area safe for contractors or other third parties to enter.

During the first phase of mitigation, your technician can make an appraisal of the type of water we are dealing with. In the case of black water, water that contains harmful pathogens, we may need to take a strict approach to the remediation process. This approach is necessary because contaminated water can pose a risk to your wellbeing as well as permanently damaging structural contents.

In a black water remediation procedure, a SERVPRO technician can enter the property wearing the correct PPE equipment. The first step is to remove contents into a designated clean zone or to perform a pack out service- where possessions are sent to an external cleaning facility. After contents are safely away from the site, we can then begin the process of removing excess water and cleaning the structure.

Structural cleaning often requires the demolition of drywall as well as the removal and replacement of subfloor mats as well as insulation where necessary. Often, fittings can be restored using high-pressure water hoses alongside chemical cleaning methods. We can treat affected areas with Biocides to prevent any harmful bacteria from growing causing secondary damages.

Professional restoration is a must for black water contamination, contact SERVPRO of Seminole at (727) 391-6212.
