Professional Flood Cleanup Services Focus on Restoring Aberdeen Homes

Exposure to only an inch or two of floodwater can create serious challenges for Aberdeen homeowners, ranging from saturated building materials to damaged personal belongings. All of these need to be handled with care and a focus on safety due to the contaminants flood damage typically brings with it.

SERVPRO®'s commitment to timely service means that Aberdeen homeowners impacted by flood damage receive restoration services at any time of the day or night, which can begin within a few hours of an initial call. By using tried-and-true, science-based techniques, our certified technicians can revitalize flooded interiors and help restore peace of mind for property owners.

Common Problems Caused by Flood Damage

Persistent moisture can wreak havoc on many materials in a residence, making DIY cleaning inadvisable. Typical complications from flood-damaged interiors include:

• Warped hardwood boards that can buckle, warp, or crack.
• Swollen drywall, leading to weakened walls and potential crumbling.
• Underside damage to furniture can lead to unstable legs or frames and spreading stains from dyes and finishes.
• Saturated paper items, documents, and photographs that can degrade over time

Flood Mitigation Techniques for Aberdeen Property Restoration

After eliminating any remaining standing water and loose sediments from flooding, our technicians can focus on the following:

• Carefully removing compromised sections of drywall with flood cuts, which prepares walls for repairs while enabling more efficient drying and sanitation of studs and cavities.
• Dehumidifiers and specialized drying mats extract moisture from hardwood flooring to prevent further swelling and warping of planks.
• Wood furniture and other contents are handled carefully based on the materials present to prepare these furnishings for refinishing and repair if they can be salvaged.

Restoration crews also take a detailed, room-by-room inventory of affected belongings and perform organized pack-outs for offsite cleaning. Delicate documents can be treated offsite, typically through sublimation, to preserve paper as thoroughly as possible, and digital copies can be made of important documents so homeowners still have access to them.
