Our SERVPRO technicians have the equipment and expertise to get rid of flood damage in your home.

Boynton Beach Homes Can Suffer Flood Damage Due to Hurricanes

Flooding can happen even without a full-fledged hurricane that forces strong winds and rain upon Boynton Beach. Tropical storms can cause homes to suffer substantial damage and cause havoc for the surrounding landscaping. The damage may seem impossible, but SERVPRO can help you and your family by professionally restoring your home.

One of the locations most often hit by storms in Florida is Boynton Beach, which elevates the risk of flood damage. With heavier-than-normal rainfall, runoff can head straight for your home. Everything from silt to garbage to still-living organisms can end up in your home. These organisms include microscopic pathogens that can cause illness in humans or damage at the molecular level inside your house if left undisturbed.

While the visible deposits can cause substantial stress and concern, eliminating the invisible ones from your home's interior is needed more. Also, the damage to structures worsens the longer they remain saturated with water. When mitigation begins soon after the floodwaters become low enough, we can often save the furniture.

For a flood that invades your home, our IICRC-backed training in Applied Structural Drying (ASD), Applied Microbial Remediation (AMRT), and Upholstery and Fabric Cleaning (UFT) fits the needs of your home perfectly. Flooded homes require several different restoration methods performed simultaneously. Working as a team remains one of SERVPRO's strong points.

Removing all water and moisture from your home takes time, but we have the machinery to get the work done quickly, so damage to your home does not become excessive. Pumping the water out and ensuring humidity readings return to normal levels protects your home's interior from immediate structural changes and future problems.

Microbial infestation remains a part of almost any flood. When these microorganisms are in a moist environment, they can easily thrive. When desiccated, they become immobile and hibernate, ready to go back into action in the presence of more conducive environments, should they ever arise. We use antimicrobial agents to rid your home of these microbes, making it safe again.

Upholstered furniture can get beaten down with super-high humidity inside your home, even if they are in non-flooded parts of your home. Revitalizing these items takes skill and attention to detail to gain the best results.
