To understand the scope of damage a flood causes, you have to experience it face-to-face.  Most of us can visualize wet carpet and water damaged walls.  The flood water also carries dirt, debris, trash, and even sewer/septic waste into your home.  These flood waters damage your home, as well as household furnishings and keepsakes.

Bella Vista residents who experience flood damage also need to be aware of mold growth.  While building materials and household items have been dried and cleaned, the humidity levels can continue to be high.  This additional moisture and heat is an excellent breeding environment for mold.  When SERVPRO of Northwest Benton County work on a home that has had flood damage, we address not only the standing water but every piece of flood damage.

Eliminating the visible damage is the first step.  SERVPRO begins by removing the excess flood water from the structure.  Removing carpet, padding, and other flooring materials damaged by the water is next.  Destroyed building materials, such as moldings and sheetrock, are also removed.  Household items that are salvageable are cleaned.  Items that are unsalvageable are inventoried and properly disposed.  Air movers and dehumidifiers are used to remove the excess moisture from building materials and take the added moisture out of the air.

After the visible damage has been eliminated, biological and chemical elements must be addressed.  Antimicrobial products are applied to prevent bacteria growth.  Air scrubbers are used to filter mold spores and other microscopic particles out of the air in your home.  SERVPRO of Northwest Benton County uses air scrubbers and vacuums with HEPA-grade filters to collect the mold spores and microscopic particles.  Ensuring your home is clean.

SERVPRO of Northwest Benton County should be your first choice for any residential or commercial water restoration.  Our team of professionals is trained to assess the damage, identify potential threats, respond quickly to extract the water and restore your property to preloss condition.  SERVPRO of Northwest Benton County is available 24/7 by calling 479-419-5544.
