Sewage Cleanup and Restoration From Flood Damage in Laconia
8/4/2021 (Permalink)
Our Certified Technicians Arrive Ready to Put Together an Action Plan to Deal With Storm Damage at Your Home
Storms are known for causing water damage to homes and businesses through heavy rainfalls. However, floods caused by severe rains can also cause sewer backup in the drain pipes. These backups, when left alone, can lead to costly damage and numerous health effects.
Once the storm is over, contact SERVPRO immediately to deal with the contaminated water. We offer 24/7 flood damage cleanup services for properties in Laconia. With many years of experience, our IICRC-certified technicians can restore your house to normal, “Like it never even happened.”
Cleaning Up after a Sewer Backup
SERVPRO treats three types of water damage in this situation: clean, black, and gray water. Black and gray are the most dangerous. Gray water contains contaminants such as fungi and bacteria and includes aquarium water, wash water, and urine.
Black water contains dangerous chemicals, waste products, and other life-threatening contaminants. Black water damage situations always come with disease-causing agents like viruses, fungi, bacteria, and parasites.
While clean water contains limited contamination, it can create favorable conditions for bacteria and fungi growth over time. The warmer temperature and high humidity after storm damage promote these conditions. We have to dry any part of the structure contaminated with “clean” water as well.
The bad news is that your family may be at risk of sewage contamination when a flood comes knocking. The good news is that SERVPRO of The Lakes Region, locally based, can promptly clean up the flood damage. Call us anytime at (603) 527-2518.
