What Homeowners can do to Decrease the Effects of Flood Damage in North Redington Beach 

After a flood happens in North Redington Beach, SERVPRO helps many property owners restore damaged properties. Homes contain personal belongings, that while often less costly than expensive equipment found in factories and other businesses, often hold sentimental value. This non-financial value can make such items irreplaceable. 

Once the flooding recedes in your residence in North Redington Beach, stopping flood damage from worsening, as well as protecting your sentimental items, should take place. You should ensure the security of your most valuable items, including medicines, personal documents, and other items that you need to save. 

Your neighbors most likely are experiencing the same situation as your family. The curb along your street might contain dumpsters and stacks of ruined furniture, toys, and other items. The activity can seem unending, as people work on salvaging as much as possible. You can use this time to help reduce the damage your home experiences. Here are some tips that can help you put your efforts as productive as possible.

Opening up the doors and windows can help trapped humidity escape. While the amount of water vapor that leaves your house's interior is not much, every bit helps. Air in the upper levels of your home can also become saturated with water vapor. The windows to the outside should be left open as long as the air outside is drier than the air inside. 

However, you don't want to stop there. Pulling the drawers out of dressers and cabinets helps get them free of trapped moisture, too. Wardrobes and closets should be opened. Use something to prop them open if they tend to close on their own.

If your house still has electricity and is safe to use, directing fans so the air currents bounce off walls, it can reduce the amount of moisture condensing on them. If you lack fans, placing one in a window can help pull moisture out of the home. When you need to get more enclosed spaces dry, like bathrooms, placing clay kitty litter in bowls can help remove additional moisture. 

These measures cannot get your home ready to move your family home again. Flood damage also includes massive deposits of soils and debris, and these contain pathogenic microbes. SERVPRO is always available to help continue the rest of the work, including sanitizing your home. We use high-powered machines and efficient methods that not only dry the structure of your house, but also prevent microbes from growing. Our building services team helps with a significant portion of the mitigation process, as well as helping rebuild our customers' homes when necessary to make everything “Like it never even happened.”
