Flooding is a relatively common natural disaster. A study from the Center for Neighborhood Technology states that flooding affects millions of properties across the United States because of increased rainfall that results in overflowing of rivers and streams. Seal Beach is susceptible to flooding because of rising sea levels. Each winter, a sand beam is constructed on the beach as a protection against big surf and high tides.

When floodwater finds its way into homes, it leads to both primary and secondary damage. If there is flood damage in your Seal Beach home, it is essential to contact experts from SERVPRO to clean up and dry the affected areas. We can handle category three contamination and adhere to EPA standards while cleaning and sanitizing your home.

Flood damage repair and restoration costs are the reason why many property owners do not contact professionals. They believe that they may save money if they restored the affected areas themselves. However, the truth is that hiring a restoration professional immediately after a flooding incident can significantly reduce your losses and costs. The sooner the water extraction, cleanup, and drying processes begin the less damage to which your property is prone.

Your health and that of your family is a priority. Floodwater may contain toxigenic, pathogenic, or other hazardous agents. It may carry organic matter, silt, heavy metals, pesticides, or regulated materials. Coming in contact with this water can put you and your family at risk. Without experience and suitable equipment, restoring the flood-damaged areas can be a nightmare. You can land yourself into more problems. Every porous surface in your house can become a breeding ground for pathogens.

Our team has the expertise and products required to disinfect your property to eliminate hazardous organisms. Some water damage restoration products we can use to control or slow down the growth of microbes include:

  • Sterilizers
  • Mildewstats and fungistats
  • Biocides
  • Sporicides

When applying the products, we use methods that allow physical contact of the solution with all contaminated surfaces and materials. Our SERVPRO team can apply the products to walls, tackless strip, subfloor, and wall bottom plates. We allow adequate dwell time for the products to be effective. Our restoration professionals also have experience in handling insurance claims. We can help you in assessing and documenting your losses for a stress-free claims process.

When floodwaters enter your home, call the experts at SERVPRO of Seal Beach / Los Alamitos / Cypress at (562) 431-9400. We can handle the flood damage to make it “Like it never even happened.”
