Restoring a Falmouth Basement After Nor'easter Storms & Flooding 

Northeastern storms, which generally occur between September and April, can cause considerable storm damage and flooding. Not only are these large storms slow-moving, but their trajectories can be difficult to predict. Homeowners can expect gale-force winds, snow, rain, or potential floods that can cause considerable amounts of damage over several days. 

If you need fast-acting restoration services after a nor'easter floods your Falmouth home, experienced SERVPRO teams can get to work on mitigating damage within hours. Whether you need groundwater flooding removed or roof damage from storms repaired, you can count on these extensively-trained professionals to handle it with swiftness and care. SERVPRO also has a general contracting license (CS-108357), meaning you can get disaster cleanup and repairs that are compliant with local, state, and federal regulations.

Nor'easter Preparation Tips

• Stock up on non-perishables.Three days' worth of food and water is the minimum recommended amount for sitting out a nor'easter.
• Prepare your car for the storm. Fill up your tank before the storm hits and keep an emergency kit, blankets, food, and water in your vehicle.
• Have a plan for drainage. If water does get into your home, use a sump pump with auxiliary power sources available to drain water out of affected areas. 
• Check your homeowners' insurance.Not all policies cover specific storm or flood damage claims, so go over the terms of yours carefully and update it as needed.

SERVPRO Can Restore Your Home

Storm damage can happen even with meticulous preparation. A clogged or damaged interior basement drain tile can be enough to bring copious amounts of water into your home. SERVPRO technicians can salvage your basement with industrial-grade, truck-mounted pumps with their generators so that you can get relief even during a power outage. 

Experts can use back-mounted extractors to remove moisture from interior nooks and crannies before the drying process begins. Depending on the extent of the damage, drying a basement with concrete floors can take several days. SERVPRO technicians emphasize disinfection, safely meeting drying goals and the prevention of mold growth and structural damage.
