SERVPRO Has the Resources to Evaluate and Resolve Most Problems Associated with Flooding

An informal assessment of a property affected by flood damage is not likely to paint a clear picture of the restoration actions needed. You might easily overestimate or underestimate the work or costs of restoring your home. Unlike you, a professional has significant experience dealing with such incidents, making it easier to gauge the damage levels.

Apart from experience gained handling other incidents of flood damage in the Cypress area, professionals like SERVPRO also have many tools that simplify evaluation. After a few minutes of the assessment, our technicians can tell the level of moisture migration, the type of hazards in the property, and the level of structural deterioration.

Several tools help reveal such crucial flood damage information, including:

• Thermal cameras
• Luminometers
• Borescopes
• Voltage detectors

A tool like a thermal camera makes it easy to tell whether pooling water only requires extraction or other procedures such as demolition may be necessary to reach deteriorated materials. Such information instantly reveals the kind of timeline we should assign a task. 

Other tools reveal the risks that restoration might involve. For instance, our SERVPRO technicians use luminometers to evaluate the level of contaminants in water or a non-contact voltage detector to check whether there is an electric current flowing through a circuit material. Such issues pose hazards to restoration workers and might delay or halt restoration. 

Problem identification is the first step towards restoration. However, it takes the right resources to restore the property to its preloss condition. Resources include technical skills, equipment, and supportive infrastructure. SERVPRO provides fully staffed teams with different technical experts, including Water Restoration technicians, Applied Structural Drying Technicians, and Lead-Based Paint Activities and Renovation professionals. We also have a litany of equipment for extraction, cleaning, and rebuilding.
