Raising temperatures, melting snow, and rain can cause flooding.

Winter Threats of Flash Flooding for Pottsville Homes

As many Pottsville homeowners and business owners already know, the winter months offer the area far more than just the threat of heavy snowfall to keep in our minds. With temperature fluctuations and frequent precipitation, the ground can quickly become saturated. This scenario can quickly lead to flash flooding under the right conditions, and this emergency threatens multiple properties along the path the floodwaters are most likely to take.

While you cannot always predict when flood damages can occur to your Pottsville home, having the right professionals available to restore these outcomes ensures an efficient approach that saves you time and money. Often flood-damaged homes are uninhabitable until restoration work completes, so you want to react quickly to the situation so that our trained professionals can start their work as promptly as possible.

Equipment for Flood Damage Restoration

Our SERVPRO rapid response team can roll out from our base with our Green Fleet in these circumstances. These vehicles get stocked with industry-leading equipment designed to extract, dry quickly, and clean up the mess that flooding can leave behind. Once our IICRC certified technicians arrive, we can set up our truck-mounted extraction equipment to remove pooling water from the property at 300 psi. Extraction wands and wet-vacs can take care of what remains or pooling water present in otherwise inaccessible areas. Speed is crucial to pump out as much water as possible to mitigate the degradation of building elements.

Given the mud, debris, and potential contaminants that could exist in the water rushing into your home during a flash flood, the restoration team you choose should also offer complete cleaning and disinfecting. These approaches can preserve elements like hardwood flooring and furniture that become soiled by dirty water or mud and debris left behind in the affected areas once the pooled water is extracted.

Flash flooding presents significant risks to residential properties throughout the area, and worse yet, it can strike with little warning. Whenever your home suffers the effects of flood damage, you can depend on the fast response of our SERVPRO of Pottsville water restoration technicians. You can reach our skilled professionals 24/7 by calling (570) 622-8991.
