Did Your Home Suffer Flood Damage? Here's What You Need to Know

Introduction: Flooding is one of the most devastating consequences of a hurricane, and it can seriously affect the structure of your home. If your home has suffered flood damage after Hurricane Milton, it's important to know how to proceed to restore it safely and effectively.

Key steps for restoration after a flood:

1. Safety first: Before entering your home, make sure it's safe. The floods may have weakened structures or damaged the electrical system. If you have doubts, it is best to wait for a professional evaluation.

2. Water extraction and drying: The first step in restoration is to remove standing water and begin the drying process. Use dehumidifiers and fans to dry the area as quickly as possible, as mold can start growing in as little as 24-48 hours.

3. Wall and floor repair: Drywall walls that have absorbed water will likely need to be replaced. Hardwood or carpet floors can also be damaged by moisture. We have professional solutions to restore these areas.

4. Mold prevention: After a flood, it is crucial to prevent mold. Our team specializes in cleaning and disinfecting mold-affected areas to ensure your home is free of contaminants.
