Your Laconia Home Can be Clean Again with the Help of a Professional Service

Flooding in your home creates different issues, including the displacement of your family, sifting through your belongings, and developing a restoration plan. As much as friends and family try to help you, there are some aspects of the cleanup process that only a professional restoration crew can address.

In Laconia, flood damage restoration is our specialty. Our SERVPRO crew is readily available to arrive at your home as soon as the area is safe. While careful of the environment and any potential hazards associated with it, we assess the scope of the damage and take steps to clean, sanitize, and disinfect your home. 

Is removing water all I need to do after flooding in my home?

Removing water is an essential part of restoring your home, but it is insufficient. Floodwaters carry a variety of bacteria, debris, and microorganisms that can pose a health hazard to your family. Our team wears personal protective equipment to avoid direct exposure to bacteria as we navigate your home. If possible, we set up a clean perimeter and use it as a staging area to avoid cross-contamination and separate clean items from those affected by the flood. To initiate the process, we extract water by using pumps, dehumidifiers, and air circulators, among others. Sanitizing and disinfecting is essential in protecting you as well, which is why our SERVPRO team applies its expertise by using one or several of the following techniques-

   Application of EPA approved cleaning solutions.

   Thermal fogging

   Ultra-Low Volume Foggers

The ultimate goal is to safely return your home to mint condition while minimizing your loss. During this process, it may be necessary to remove items from your home that are no longer safe due to their exposure to floodwaters. Our SERVPRO crew assists in these decisions by providing our expert advice.

You are not alone after experiencing flooding in your home. SERVPRO of The Lakes Region is available by calling (603) 527-2518. Invite us into your home and let us leave it "Like it never even happened."
