SERVPRO is Available to Clean Up After a Flood to Address any Damage to Your Albany Property

Whenever storms bring flooding in the Albany area, homeowners might have damage and property loss on their hands. Unlike burst pipes from fresh water coming into your home and fixtures, the cleaning protocols with floodwaters are vastly different. SERVPRO knows best practices for handling potential gray or black water in the mix, along with any loosened building materials within your home, chemicals, and other debris. We are the team to call in the area so we can make your home “Like it never even happened.”

It is important to know that anything floodwater touches, must be addressed. If your flood damage in Albany is overwhelming, having flood restoration professionals on the project ensures no stone gets left unturned. Our crew chief checks the walls, flooring, and structural elements throughout the initial inspection to determine safety. From there, we look at other areas like:

• Carpeting
• Furnishings
• Mattresses
• Clothing
• Appliances
• Toys, utensils, and other various contents

While some items listed might get cleaned effectively, like furniture or appliances, some must get discarded. Stuffed animals, mattresses, and similar items will be difficult to clean thoroughly. If an area rug has been saturated and left in the contaminated water for longer than 24 hours, it might be unsalvageable. 

A Thorough Clean You Can Trust

Whether you call us for basement flooding or water removal services on your ground floor, we take all of the necessary measures to get the job done right the first time. Our IICRC-certified water restoration technicians put barriers in place and work on water mitigation to keep moisture from traveling into un-impacted zones of your property. We then initiate deep cleaning, drying, and disinfecting to leave your home Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned!
