Flood Damage in Stark County Ohio

3/6/2018 (Permalink)

We have been experiencing lots of rain this February which is causing flooding and water damage to basements in Stark County. With possible more rain coming this Spring it can quickly turn into emergencies with little notice. When several days of hard rains happen on end with no opportunities for the ground to keep up with saturation, the opportunity for flash flooding becomes a real possibility for all of the homes in North East Ohio. The trouble with flash flooding in areas where floods are not everyday occurrences is the lack of proper preparation. When homes become ill-equipped to deal with floodwaters knocking at the foundation of their homes, vulnerable areas become exposed, and soon flood damage occurs in Stark County. Fortunately, this is not a situation that you have to deal with all on your own. With professional restoration services like our SERVPRO of S&E Stark County team provides, you can help to prevent further structural damage and irreparable losses by addressing the problem quickly and appropriately. Our objective when we arrive at your home is to assess the damage that you face and begin water extraction immediately. With flooding, we use our extraction truck which has the truck mount equipment that pulls high volumes of water from your carpet far more quickly than other equipment that might get used for less severe water emergencies. Once the water has gotten extracted successfully, our team moves on to dry the area thoroughly. The drying process typically consists of a combination of dehumidification equipment and air movers. These two working together help to combat the possibility of mold growth in the affected area, which can quickly happen if the water damage was not seen to right away. If you experience flood damage in your home or business, please call the experts of SERVPRO of SOUTH & East Stark County 24/7 at 330-823-4088.
