Content Cleaning Solutions After Flood Damage

To many homeowners, the contents of their property are as important as the structure itself. Then, it is critical to have suitable solutions after flood loss situations to manage the handling of these impacted items and work to restore them when possible. Multiple possible phases and actions can occur with personal belongings, furniture, clothing, and other contents. Some of these include:

• Relocation
• Cleaning
• Off-Site Restoration

Relocating Contents When Possible

Flood damage in Jamaica Plain homes can be very noticeable when specialists of our SERVPRO team begin evaluating and cataloging the condition of the contents in the house. Because flood loss effects continue to migrate and move until containment gets established and much of the extraction occurs, it is important to relocate at-risk contents to safer areas of the residence.

On-Site Cleaning with Disinfectants

It is possible in some cases to perform on-site cleanup, but this must occur in one of two ways to be successful. The affected items must either exist in an area very mildly affected by intruding floodwater conditions, or contents must be relocated to an established staging area for cleaning and recovery. At the same time, restoration in the impacted rooms continues.

Off-Site Recovery at SERVPRO Warehouse

One of the more effective and direct solutions our specialists on the roster can provide is off-site cleaning at our SERVPRO facility. With the full measure of powerful recovery tools and products at the disposal of certified cleaning technicians, we can provide a wealth of services to restore contents to their original appearance and function. Some of these include:

• Surface Cleaning
• Drying
• Disinfection
• Deodorization

Managing the contents of a flood-damaged property is rarely as straightforward as homeowners might like. Still, our SERVPRO of Jamaica Plain / Roxbury team strives to choose the efficient recovery methods that suit the situation best. Give us a call now at (617) 466-6909.
