The Truth is You Are Not the Only Person Concerned About Flood Damage in Ormond Beach

During hurricane season, your home can get flooded. Don't despair, contact the trained technicians at SERVPRO for water removal services.

Why SERVPRO Uses Antimicrobial Cleansers When Mitigating Flood Damaged Homes in Ormond Beach

Any amount of flooding can deposit numerous types of microorganisms into invaded spaces, and your Ormond Beach property is no exception. These tiny living things can number in the tens of thousands in a cup of water. At SERVPRO, we take the possibility of infection from such microbes very seriously and do all we can to protect not only ourselves but also your family.

Protecting your family when they come back to your home from the dangers of microbes caused by flood damage in Ormond Beach requires some special cleaning techniques, and this is why SERVPRO uses antimicrobial agents wherever possible. While removing debris from your home, or cleaning up soiled laundry for laundering at our facility, we wear personal protective equipment (PPE).

Because your family is going to live in the home, we need to do everything possible to rid it of the pathogens flooding carried in and make it safe again. These microscopic things get pushed into cracks so tiny that you can barely see them. Many end up in the outer portions of slightly porous materials, including wood and concrete. We use cleansers that act quickly in killing microbes, but that act less harshly than bleach solutions. During our work, we use hydroxyl machines to clean the air of anything, also, and this keeps the air free of anything that the air carries around from one area to another.

The presence of mold and spores increases dramatically after a flooding incident. Because of this, we also use air scrubbers to increase hydroxyl machines' effectiveness. Once done with the cleanup of structural damage and elimination of microbial populations, we begin working on odor control, restoration, painting, reinstallation of carpeting and other flooring options, making your house whole again, “Like it never even happened.”

SERVPRO of North Daytona Beach / Ormond Beach has the equipment needed to restore your Holly Hill, Tomoka Estates, or Mound Grove residence after flood damage takes its toll. Call us at (386) 677-9993, so we can send out IICRC-certified crews that and make restoration happen quickly for you.
