What Damage Can Flooding Do to My Covina Basement?

The experience of our SERVPRO of Azusa / Covina team with flood recovery can help this process to be more efficient and less costly for our customers.

Finished basements in Covina can quickly absorb substantial flood damage, making the restoration a blend of reconstruction and professional SERVPRO cleaning

Floodwater that can find its way into the basement of your Covina home can cause substantial damage to this level of your property. Because many of the houses throughout our communities have finished basements for added living space, the threat of flooding finding this lower level can be even more costly and damaging. The effects must get addressed as soon as possible by our competent professionals.

There are many efforts blended under the heading of basement flooding cleanup for Covina homes. Because finished basements feature many sensitive materials to water absorption, migrating flood effects can penetrate these flooring, wall, and ceiling systems to allow irreparable damage. We have several cleaning practices that can begin quickly if widespread controlled demolition is not required. Removing damaged materials and content can often be inevitable for natural flooding situations, but specific methods can help restore the remaining elements, such as:

    •    Carpet Cleaning
    •    Wood Floor Refinishing
    •    Antibacterial and Antimicrobial Treatments
    •    Deodorization

Can SERVPRO Handle Repairs and Reconstruction?

The removal of materials like drywall, carpeting, and wood flooring is not uncommon after flood damage occurs. Our in-house contractors can work quickly to ensure that only the damaged portions of these materials get removed so that reconstruction and reinstallation are more efficient and cost-effective. With a roster of building trade professionals, we can not only oversee the repairs and rebuilding necessary after controlled demolition has occurred but also can address other conditions such as damaged utilities and even remodeling when desired.

Cleaning up after a flood loss event in your basement requires debris removal, surface cleaning, and potent antibacterial products applied to the right exposed surfaces. The experience of our SERVPRO of Azusa / Covina team with flood recovery can help this process to be more efficient and less costly for our customers. Give us a call at (626) 387-4111.
