When Flood Waters Damage Your Nashville Home

12/15/2017 (Permalink)

Flood Damage To Your Home

When torrential rains happen over short periods of time to already saturated grounds, the conditions become present for possible flooding. While there are always Nashville homes that are at risk of flash floods, more people fall victim to conventional flooding when the water levels in nearby creeks and rivers crest at significantly higher levels than usual.

Preventing flood damage to your Nashville home is usually about being prepared. Preparation involves appropriately waterproofing your home and installing components to divert water away from your foundation and property as a whole. Even the most significant measures cannot fight against the forces of nature sometimes, and water accesses your foundation or lower levels through the path of least resistance.

When this happens, you need to act quickly to preserve the contents of your home and to mitigate your overall losses from this often catastrophic event. By calling us at SERVPRO, you can remain assured that we respond quickly and dedicate our efforts to your home until we have completed the restoration process. Our emergency response team is always ready for calls at all hours of the day in need of our professional assistance.

If flood waters have receded from the area, our efforts begin with removing the water that has gets left in your home. If it is still a present threat, assessment is done to see what must be changed or repaired to prevent further penetration and worsening of the damage. Our SERVPRO technicians then get to work on removing the water and restoring damages to the entire affected area.

Removal efforts utilize pump trucks to extract all of the water from the damaged portion of your home. Our team uses air movers for drying purposes, which allows our technicians to closely inspect which areas of your home are in need of attention, and focus our efforts on restoring these parts first.

Ultimately, no restoration is complete without meeting the expectations of your high standards. This assurance not only extends to the damage that your home has received from the flood waters but also doing what is necessary to ensure that this kind of problem does not happen again in the future.

Flooding can happen to anyone in lower lying areas around Nashville. If you are in need of assistance to clean up the mess after this damaging incident, give SERVPRO of Madison / Goodlettsville a call. We can be reached anytime at (615) 868-5324.
