SERVPRO Helps Keep Stockton Residents Safe After Flood Damage

Floods can be devastating, sweeping away cars and trees and causing untold damage to homes. Even if your house survives the flood, it is best to call in professional help because flood damage cleanup is a challenging task.

If you suffer flood damage in your Stockton home, you might not be aware of the hidden dangers of flood damage. These include:

• Increased fire risks due to unseen water damage to appliances. Appliances can short circuit and start a fire.
• The potential for mold growth because of the moisture and available food sources. Paper, wood, and drywall are sources of food for mold.
• The possibility of pests such as termites getting into your house.

Floodwater can also contain contaminants and microbes, and if the water seeps into your home, it can cause structural damage.

If that sounds overwhelming, do not worry. SERVPRO teams are ready to deal with every aspect of flood damage. We can dry, clean, and disinfect your home. We can also liaise with other contractors such as electricians or builders on your behalf if needed.
