Hurricane Season Is Not the Only Time Flood Damage Can Affect Homes in Marco Island

As the hurricane and tropical storm season heads into its last days, residents of Marco Island need to remain vigilant. Although flooding is always in the news and a concern for homeowners June through November, circumstances can present that permit flood waters to intrude every day of the year. Fortunately for our customers, we offer flood mitigation and remediation services year-round.

Both External and Internal Events Can Cause Flooding

Although the heavy rains and high winds seen during hurricane season can lead to flood damage in Marcos Island, less severe weather can expose your home to harm as well. If your roof’s drainage system is clogged or drain spouts are improperly attached, even routine rain showers can force water into your home, causing flooding. Roots growing inside your sewer line or a major break in a municipal water main or waste line can send significantly contaminated water into your home.

We Handle Flood Damage Stemming from Any Cause

Regardless of the reason behind the flood damage, SERVPRO has trained technicians and commercial-grade equipment ready 24/7 to remove water and complete structural drying. We are familiar with the challenges of contaminated water, an issue in nearly every flooding scenario. You do not need to fret concerning pathogens found in flood water on our watch. We contain and then properly dispose of the dirty water following local hazardous waste regulations. Surfaces and areas that came in contact with the flood water receive antimicrobial treatment with EPA-registered products to ensure no dangerous residual viruses, bacteria, fungi, or other microbes remain active.

Airborne Contaminants During Flooding

The focus during flood damage scenarios is understandably on the water and its need for removal. As the waters stir during pumping and extracting, contaminants can become airborne.
SERVPRO crews combat this complication by employing negative pressure air scrubbing technology. Strong suction pulls the contaminated air through HEPA filters, trapping the tiny particles and venting the air to the outside. It is particularly important to reduce the airborne presence of microbial agents before and during structural drying. The powerful air movers used during drying otherwise could significantly disperse contaminants.
