Water Loss in Chautauqua, NY
Here is another picture of the Mother's Day flood but from another angle. The water was not as deep on this as there was a slight pitch to the flooring.
Concrete takes a long time to dry. It usually holds 20 percent water at all times and when it gets wet it will soak up that much more. It is a slow process but it can be done with air movers and dehumidifiers.
Once the concrete was dry we cleaned the area and added a disinfectant to kill any bacterial growth. All of their stuff was brought back and they were very grateful. Nobody wants to deal with a problem over the holidays. Call SERVPRO of Jamestown/Olean to make your holidays just that.
