When storm damage impacts your property, call on our skilled experts at SERVPRO for assistance.

SERVPRO Can Disassemble Counters, Floors, and Other Assemblies to Ease Water Damage Repairs

Storms and other extreme weather can breach property, sending flood water into unwanted areas such as the kitchen in your Plainview home. Restoring the property to its preloss state can be a challenge. Professional assistance can simplify the process for you by tackling difficult tasks.

The room layout can affect the level of flood damage in your Plainview kitchen. Installations such as countertops, shelves, and cabinets limit access to the floors, walls, or other spaces affected by the intruding water. The materials, especially on the floor where most water collects, can complicate the renovation process. For instance, hardwood floor planks swell when wet unless moisture management is prioritized. The different steps SERVPRO takes help manage moisture at a flooded property.

A Typical Flood Restoration Task Involves Handling:

• Leaking roof from storms
• Ceiling repairs from water damages
• Water clean up

The kitchen is one of the sensitive sections of your home, so it takes more than the removal of floodwater to accomplish full restoration. 

Other Important Restoration Processes Include:

• Decontamination
• Deodorization
• Removal of deteriorated materials

Our SERVPRO technicians use powerful water extractors to remove any water pooling on surfaces within the kitchen. We also have specialized equipment such as drying mats to remove any water trapped beneath or between floorboards. Spraying EPA-registered disinfectants into the water pooling in the house helps control contaminants. 

Removing or stripping down some of the assemblies in the kitchen helps simplify the restoration. Our SERVPRO technicians disassemble cabinets and countertops and remove some floorboards to ensure swelling does not lead to permanent changes such as buckling.
