Mitigating the loss to your home after a severe weather event and subsequent stormwater infiltration requires the fast response of our experienced restoration team. With pre-stocked trailers and production vehicles, we can quickly implement emergency services where disasters occur.

Structural Damage from Infiltration

Stormwater mitigation in Plainview homes begins with determining how moisture enters the basement in the first place. Severe weather conditions can leave flooding in the region, and lower-lying homes become susceptible to water pressure against potentially vulnerable foundation materials. The structure can quickly become impacted by prolonged moisture damage, leading to a need for repair in specific areas like:

• Flooring supports
• Foundation walls
• Finished wall assemblies

Standing Water Threats for the Basement

Fast mitigation services often hinge on water removal. Stormwater infiltration into the basement can quickly allow for water pooling on the floors, making extraction one of the vital services we must implement as soon as possible. Any standing water presents threads to exposed building materials and contents.

Mold Damage Threats

Mold is one of the underlying threats with persistent moisture in the basement level of your damaged home. Without quickly clearing surface water concerns and drying this lower space of your property, the moist conditions present the ideal environment for mold organism development.

Storm damage and flooding can be a rapidly worsening situation in areas like the basement. To counteract these effects and to protect the property from more substantial harm, our SERVPRO of Hicksville / Plainview team responds fast with mitigation solutions to help. We are ready to mobilize after storm losses 24/7 at (516) 733-1800.
