Remediating Flood Damage In Brentwood Homes

Brentwood has great access to local highways, not to mention a certain larger city to the north. Its location, however, also makes it vulnerable to flooding from the Little Harpeth River running through the middle of everything.

When flood damage in your Brentwood home comes from a source outside, there is the added threat of soil and other contaminants along with everything else. SERVPRO professionals are ready to treat and eliminate the physical damage and health risk presented by flood water in addition to the issues with something like a failed water heater or a split line leading into a refrigerator or freezer.

Before team members remove any water, they spray it and nearby property with an anti-bacterial agent to eliminate any potential hazard. At a minimum, they wear protective boots before stepping into the water and don full protective gear, to include masks, if needed. SERVPRO technicians then start removal with a pump or other extraction device. For contaminated water, they remove everything directly into the nearest sewer drain or a tanker truck if the flood damaged the drains.

After removing the water, the technicians spray all surfaces that were underwater with the anti-bacterial spray. Once completed, they inspect everything to determine if an item is restorable or if it requires disposal. If needed, they can wait for an insurance adjuster, or else document everything thrown out to report later.

As team members complete disposal, others remove items from home for restoration. In most cases, restoration requires a strong cleaning agent and cloths or sponges to wipe down the affected surfaces. If the item is extremely soaked and covered with contaminates, they use other methods to include immersing the item in a tank of cleaning solution and then agitating the liquid, which forces the solution deeply into an item or across its surface without damaging it.

For SERVPRO of Williamson County, our goal is to return each home to a clean, safe condition as quickly as we can complete the task. If you have had any flooding in your home, call us at (615) 790-9634 for a rapid, and professional response.
