Managing Commercial Flood Damage At Your Adams Assisted Living Facility

Flood damage can cause major inconveniences when it affects any property. However, when such damage occurs in a facility catering for people who need specialized care, the level of inconvenience is even higher. Unless water removal and cleaning of contaminants are expedited, you might end up relocating the residents to protect them from the effects of flooding. The professional flood mitigation services we offer can help prevent such adverse outcomes.

Whether there is a major or minor incident of commercial flood damage in your Adams assisted living facility, you should respond fast. A fast response can mean different things, including immediate extraction of standing water or preventive actions such as boarding up to prevent further deterioration. The chosen action should help prevent highly inconveniencing actions such as moving the residents. WRT, Water Restoration Technician training helps our SERVPRO team carry out various actions when scoping the level of damage, allowing us to determine the best response plan.

Contamination can pose serious health risks to the residents at your facility. If the flooding occurs from groundwater or sewage backup, it is likely to contain dangerous contaminants such as biohazards and chemicals. In case of flooding from rainwater such as when strong wind or falling debris breach the roof, the risk of contamination is low. By having the right protective equipment, our SERVPRO crews can wade through any water, ensuring we take the necessary remedial measures in time. Immediately after arriving at the loss site, we spray EPA registered disinfectants directly into the water then start other cleanup procedures immediately.

Comfort is a significant aspect of most assisted leaving facilities. However, when a flood strikes, the materials that improve that comfort can worsen the situation. Materials such as carpets and insulation that keep your facility comfortable and warm tend to absorb significant amounts of water. They also tend to retain contaminants even after thorough cleaning because of their porous nature. Our SERVPRO technicians remove carpets during cleaning to eliminate the risks posed by contaminants. We also perform controlled teardown to remove insulation and other building materials.

You can take back control of your assisted living facility faster with professional assistance. Call SERVPRO of Jefferson County at (315) 777-8377 to help take the right steps. We have the means to address any damage “Like it never even happened.”
