What If There are Toxins in the Floodwater?

Flood damage in Lynn poses a threat due to the level of infectious and toxic substances that floodwaters carry. Our skilled technicians are vigilant about containment, and we always adhere to local regulations for the disposal of all fluids. To help minimize risks before starting on your flood loss job, we often overspray the impacted area with EPA-registered disinfectant. While on the job, we also:

• Seal off all workspaces with heavy-duty plastic sheeting
• Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) for safety
• Use foot coverings that eliminate the potential for tracking harmful biohazards into other unaffected areas of the house
• Use air-scrubbers that help to filter out dangerous residues

We Take the Time to Map and Monitor Moisture

Water migrates to drier spaces, and moisture tends to get into hard-to-reach areas or difficult to detect with the naked eye. Because of this, our team uses moisture metering and detection tools that help us to address hidden moisture before it has time to cause secondary damage. Along with applied structural drying techniques for airflow and dehumidification, the entire job gets wrapped up with the application of powerful cleaning agents for sanitization and deodorization.

When you need prompt flood damage assistance, we are here to help at SERVPRO of Lynn / Lynnfield. Call (781) 593-6663 to have a crew deployed to your home to make it, “Like it never even happened.”
