Decontamination and Disinfection for Flooded Pottsville Homes

Not all flood incidents that could affect Pottsville properties come with contamination threats and hazardous conditions, but this can be the case in some instances. In gray areas where professionals cannot accurately determine the likelihood of this potential contamination, water must get treated as though it has encountered various levels of bacteria and contaminants along its path to flooding your home. With these protocols in place, our professionals must act quickly to protect as much of your home as possible.

There are various potential hazards that water could experience before it causes flood damage to your Pottsville home. In situations like roof damage, rainfall does not have a chance to encounter toxic elements, so our SERVPRO professionals can follow standard water loss approaches to dry and recover the property. Where grey or even black water could exist, disinfection, cleaning, and even controlled demolition must occur.

Knowing what your property needs when restoring flood damages begins with an accurate inspection and assessment of the home. Our estimator and management can walk through the house together to determine the likelihood of contamination and the best approach to prevent these effects from impacting other house areas. We can reduce the spread of contamination through physical barriers with plastic sheeting, extraction equipment, and units like hydroxyl generators and air scrubbers.

Disinfection plays a role in persevering structural elements that do not meet the removal and later replacement requirements. To prevent bacteria's continued life and spread, we have OSHA-approved cleaning agents and disinfection products that can remove contamination from your property's beams, studs, and framework as recovery and restoration continue. In situations like the saturation of construction materials, controlled demolition practices by our SERVPRO team can safely remove these contaminated elements and prepare the area for reconstruction.

Many types of flooding can occur in your home, but our SERVPRO of Pottsville team can help guide your property through the necessary steps to make the damages "Like it never even happened." You can reach our emergency response team 24/7 at (570) 622-8991.
