Essential Issues to Address When Dealing With Flood Damage Incidents in San Francisco

One of the reasons why flooding incidents in San Francisco are loathed is the kind of filth they leave in the affected property. Restoring such property to the preloss state requires effort and time, especially if one wants to save more items. Seeking professional help can ease the cleanup process by addressing several issues that crop up, including:

• Contamination and microbial growth

• Deterioration of materials

• Soiling

• Debris pile up

Different types of contaminants accumulate in the houses hit by flood damage incidents in San Francisco. Before the floodwater reaches the house, it collects chemicals and biological agents, among other contaminants, from the areas it flows over. Such contaminants end up in the materials the water intrudes. Exposure to water also creates perfect conditions for microbial growth. Restoring preloss conditions is only possible after cleaning all the contaminants. Our SERVPRO technicians start by removing all porous materials left wet after the incident because they act as reservoirs for contaminants. We use detergents and other professional cleaning agents to remove all traces of contaminants from the rest of the building.

Water intrusion affects many materials in the house in different ways. Some swell, change color, or lose normal structural form. It is possible to save some like solid wood through cleaning and moisture control. Our SERVPRO technicians can create drying chambers to help save hardwood floors. We also ventilate wall cavities to dry studs and frames. Other materials such as drywall and carpets are unsalvageable, so we remove them for disposal.

Soiling is typical in the aftermath of flood damage with silt and mud being the common soils left. Fabrics can also spill dyes due to water action leading to stains. Cleaning all affected areas and contents thoroughly is a vital part of the restoration process. Our SERVPRO technicians use various approaches, including pressure washing, to remove stubborn soils.
