Flood Damage Can Swiftly Impact Covina Properties, Making it Vital for Mitigation to Start Immediately

Flash flooding and adverse weather conditions have seen area homes and businesses suffer the impacts of rapidly developing disasters. As leading storm damage responders with experience and knowledge of what restoration and recovery your property needs, our SERVPRO team is Here to Help.  

The Impact of Natural Flooding

Flood damage to Covina homes and businesses requires several post-damage restoration and recovery solutions. Natural flooding introduces threats like contaminants and pathogenic microbes into the property, making swift emergency services to prevent the spread of water and the exposure of contents and structure a primary focus. Some of the actions we can take upon arrival include:

• Disinfection
• Water Removal
• Drying
• Content Relocation
• Hazard Resolution

Crawlspaces and Foundational Damage

The space beneath a home can also be significantly damaged by intruding water. Not only can standing floodwater in the opening beneath the main floor of a residence be potentially destructive to the subflooring and supports, but elements of the home's foundation are also at risk. Professionals must prioritize our tools and approaches to removing pooling from this confined space. 

Attic Flooding After Storm Damage 

Severe weather events can have a dramatic effect on the attic of homes. Hail, wind, and torrential rains can all destroy portions of aging roofs and expose vulnerabilities in the shingles, underlayment, and plywood in the construction of the building's envelope. Structural damage allows for runoff and direct water penetration into the connected attic space. 

As you can see, flood damage can impact many homes and businesses in specific ways. Knowing where to expect this disaster shows how valuable a fast response from our SERVPRO of Azusa / Covina team is to protect the house. Give us a call now at (626) 387-4111.
