When your Sandwich area basement suffers a flooding--Call SERVPRO for water removal

SERVPRO has Specific Equipment to Handle Deep Standing Flood Water in Sandwich Properties

When heavy storms hit the Sandwich area, and the sewer drains get overwhelmed, sometimes the floodwater can back up into homes and businesses. This situation can get remedied rapidly if the sump pump is in working order and the drainage system is still flowing. But what if it isn't?

SERVPRO performs rapid flood removal in Sandwich properties no matter how much basement flooding has occurred. The techs have both the training and equipment to remove it. When the storm drains are overwhelmed by heavy rains, the techs can dispose of the wastewater in separate receptacles.

Many basements tend to be catch-alls for storage; moving boxes and articles away from the water needs to occur early in the flood restoration services. SERVPRO techs work quickly to get items up and off the floor, so the extraction goes more rapidly and protects contents.

When the homeowner has a finished basement, floodwater can do greater damage than tile. The glue-down carpet tends to delaminate and requires removal and disposal, leaving a concrete slab substrate to dry. In cases where the basement has finished walls, the sheetrock over the cinder block may deteriorate rapidly and require more than flood cuts but complete removal to dry the interior. Fortunately, this SERVPRO location has a general contractor license #CS-108357 and can offer any water damage repairs needed, from re-installation of flooring to re-finishing a basement.
