What a Fast Call to SERVPRO Gets You For Basement Flood Damage In Franklin

Flood Damage Cleanup and Restoration
Water naturally flows and collects downhill, and when floodwaters enter your home during a storm, they typically follow that same rule and seek out the lowest point in the area. Basements often accumulate water and take on significant flood damage during a storm in Franklin.
While there is often little you can do to prevent water from reaching deep into your home's lower levels, you can make a great deal of difference in how difficult it is to remove that water if you get help fast.
SERVPRO's Mitigation Strategy
SERVPRO franchises nationwide operate on a strategy of mitigation. We respond to flood damage in Franklin and similar communities quickly and on a 24/7 basis to ensure that floodwaters do not have sufficient time to reside, collect, and cause further damage. The sooner you place a call to us, the sooner we can respond and get your home the treatment it needs to avoid further damage. Proper application of mitigation techniques could save you thousands in restoration costs later on.
What We Do On Arrival
Once you place your first call, our technicians should be on the scene within four hours, ready to handle the situation. They first evaluate the extent of damage before attempting to stop any further water from entering the home. Once these preliminary tasks are done, they can begin to pump water out. The extraction process is relatively simple: we use industrial-strength water extractors to pump large volumes of water out of the building in as little time as possible, eliminating the threat of standing water. After all, water is removed from the basement; we can begin to set up additional drying measures such as air movers and dehumidifiers to remove additional soakage in the area.
SERVPRO of The Lakes Region provides 24/7 flood damage mitigation and restoration services to the local community. Should your home be damaged in a major storm, call us at (603) 527-2518.
