Challenging Areas for Flood Extraction in Naples Homes

12/14/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Naples / Marco Island will ensure no water is left behind after storm damage.

After a flood, we work fast to remove damaging water from Naples properties. 

Flooding is a situation that many Naples and Marco Island properties have dealt with, from coastal surges to torrential rains resulting in rising creeks and streams. We respond fast to these emergencies to begin vital mitigation when your home needs it most. 

Clearing Attic Damage 

Flood removal in Naples homes can often be more challenging in certain areas of a property or when trapped in structural cavities. Attics, especially those unfinished, can have substantial flood damage after prolonged moisture exposure from the roof. We can provide the necessary response to these situations through a combination of water damage mitigation and experienced professionals with our general contractor license. 

Removing Water in a Crawlspace

Crawlspaces also present access issues. In most cases, the priority is first to eliminate several inches or even feet of standing water beneath the main floor of the house through implements like truck-mount extractors and wet vacuums. Both of these tools can manage higher volumes of water without failing to address small debris and solids present as well. 

Eliminating Trapped Floodwater 

Another area where we must focus on drying and restoration services is the water trapped in structural cavities. Penetration of floodwater to the exterior of your property can leave moisture and standing water trapped between the elements of a wall assembly. There are several approaches necessary to remedy the trapped pooling and begin drying the space, including:

• Weep holes for drainage
• Moisture monitoring equipment
• Warm air infusion
• Structural repairs

Flooding can be a destructive force against coastal homes, making our fast mitigation response a critical service for area properties.
