Flood Damage Mitigation For Your Mount Vernon Home

Many homeowners see flooding situations and assume that their Mount Vernon property and its contents have suffered a total loss. While there are inevitably areas that cannot get restored or recovered with even the advanced techniques and products of our SERVPRO team, often properties are not total losses. Identifying the severity of the situation and the condition of the contents of your house requires the experience and training of our content management technicians.

While many structural concerns might exist after flood damage in Mount Vernon homes, saturated or potentially contaminated contents can get restored with the appropriate response. Assessing the condition of these items and personal belongings is often the responsibility of our competent project manager. During the scoping of the job, it can get determined which items must get disposed of, which can get restored on-site, and which must get focused cleaning and deodorization at our nearby facility.

Disposal 

We are very conscious of items and belongings that have become exposed to hazardous or damaging conditions after a flood. Many materials like drywall must get removed, and similarly, contents that are sensitive to moisture exposure often become too severely damaged to preserve.

On-Site Cleaning

One of the most cost-effective solutions for content management is the ability to clean, deodorize, and dry contents on-site rather than packing them up and moving them to our SERVPRO warehouse. Once cleaning and restoration have occurred, the items can get safely stored in an unaffected area of the property until mitigation and restoration in the flooded portions of your residence completes.

Pack-Out / Off-Site Cleaning

There are other scenarios where there is no feasible solution on-site for the drying, cleaning, or odor removal of damaged possessions. With residues and contaminants, we can disinfect items and also utilize advanced tools for complete off-site cleaning before safely storing them to await return to your house.

Content management is an essential aspect of flood recovery, as many homeowners believe that a disaster can irreparably affect all of the belongings in their house. Our SERVPRO of Skagit County team can work quickly to protect what matters most after a flood. Give us a call today at (360) 873-8744.
