From Extraction to Surface Cleaning, We Can Help Rockaway Properties After Disasters. 

Natural flooding can be a hazardous situation for homes in the area, primarily because of the contaminants and foreign debris carried into the property. However, with swift action to mitigate standing water and possible contamination, our SERVPRO team can help. We often begin this process by determining the best method for avoiding the further spread of water and contaminants.

Establishing Engineering Controls to Prevent Contamination Spread 

Preventing the spread of contaminants after flood damage in Rockaway homes is a critical process. Exposed bulk materials and building elements can be overwhelmed by pathogenic threats and wastewater, making the elimination of these threats crucial as well. Contaminants can be aerosolized by many of the flood restoration actions, so building containment protects unexposed areas of the house.

Water Removal and Debris Cleaning 

After flooding, removing standing water is a priority of our responding SERVPRO team. Considerations must be made with natural flooding situations to remove both the water and possible solids and debris present in the pooling. Some of the extraction devices used here include:

• Self-priming trash pumps
• Wet vacuums
• Truck-mount extractors with wands

Flood restoration involves many steps and stages, from containment to water removal. Our SERVPRO of North Morris County team can help however your property needs with our fast response and expertise. Give us a call today at (973) 983-5657.
