Flooding and Water Damage to a Buford Home

The standing water, as shown in the first photo, was contaminated and polluted groundwater from a severe storm. We set up portable sump pumps and also used our truck-mounted extractor to mitigate on-going water damage. Our SERVPRO techs reduced the water absorption into the walls with their fast service, so we only had to remove a two-foot band of drywall paneling from the walls. We safely disposed the carpeting, and other affected materials and items. We placed a large number of heated air movers, and gel based dehumidifiers to capture as much moisture from the air as possible to further limit damage to unaffected rooms of the home (the second story.) It took a week to verify that standard levels of moisture had been achieved in the concrete pad and the cinder block walls. Rely on SERVPRO for any fire, mold, or water damaging emergency to your home or business.
