How Is a Flood Different from Water Spilled Out of a Split Pipe?

Floodwater comes from outside the residence, bringing in a bit of everything it flowed over before finding its way inside a Jamestown home. This is contaminated water, and SERVPRO divides it into Category 2, significant contamination, and Category 3, far more intense. Category 1 is what comes out of a pipe and is considered sanitary or clean.

What Actions Do SERVPRO Response Teams Take First?

After they determine the flood damage water category, our Jamestown teams ensure everyone that might enter the home has the proper protective gear. Next they isolate any areas not flooded and set up air filtration to ensure that contaminated particles in the damp air are properly directed outside while bringing in clean, dry air.

What Actions Response Teams Take Next?

SERVPRO teams next perform three key tasks to begin restoring area homes:

• Extract Water and Remove Bulk Debris – Team members use pumps to draw off water and begin removing the debris either washed into the home or created by the water-soaking property until it cannot be restored. After removing bulk water and debris, they use smaller extractors to lift water out of carpets and between floorboards. 
• Lower Humidity – Team members next add dehumidifiers to the air filtration to remove excess moisture from the air to help increase evaporation. This helps to draw out more contaminants and provides a more comfortable environment.
• Demolish and Remove Remaining Debris – Carpets cannot be restored, so teams remove them along with other large items such as drywall panels.
