Flood Damage Jamestown – Managing Microbial Growth

Floodwaters pick up all sorts of contamination, such as microbes, fuel, bacteria, viruses, E.coli, and many more contaminants. Even homes flooded due to broken windows, holes punched in the roof from wind, and airborne items, can be contaminated by microbes, mold, and mildew. Homeowners must take special precautions to avoid infection and sickness caused by these contaminants.

SERVPRO provides flood damage recovery services in Jamestown and surrounding areas. Our people are trained to process contaminated sites while protecting our clients as well as our employees. We take these situations very seriously. We want to ensure that no one becomes ill from touching contaminated materials after flooding.

Minimizing Opportunities for the Growth of Microbes

Microbes and mold are in the air around us. Under normal conditions, most people can deal with limited exposure to these microbes and mold without experiencing any ill effects. Flooding introduces moisture into areas of your home that are usually dry. Temperatures in buildings are generally kept near the ideal levels for the growth of microbes, e.g., 68 to 86 F. Microbes also need a food source that is readily available in flooded homes. Also, there are natural materials such as indoor dirt, structures, natural fibers, and more.

We train our SERVPRO technicians to recognize these conditions and take the appropriate precautions to protect your family and employees. We also ensure that undamaged areas of the building are further protected to avoid spreading contamination further. Removing debris, moisture, and cleaning contaminated items, as well as drying the area quickly, dramatically reduces the opportunity for microbial infestations to grow.

We are available on a 24 / 7 basis to respond quickly to all flood damage events. Rapid response minimizes the initial damage and prevents secondary damage to other areas of your home or building. SERVPRO can respond within four hours or less to your call.
