Regardless whether flood damage was caused by internal or external factors, Team SERVPRO is standing by to take your emergency call.

When Flood Damage Hits Your Sacramento Home!

Sacramento is in a unique geographic position for flooding, with three major rivers; the Sacramento, San Joaquin, and American and a labyrinth of waterways surrounding the California capital. This city is consistently rated first or second in the nation for the most likely to flood. When a major flood hits and your home incurs damage, you may wonder what steps you need to take to preserve as much of your home as possible. 

When flood damage impacts your Sacramento home, you need to spring into action to lessen the amount of damage quickly. After the floodwater recedes, contacting a professional for immediate help is often necessary. The professionals at SERVPRO understand that floods do not happen during regular business hours, so we are available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster. 

SERVPRO technicians arrive promptly to assess the damage and begin the task of drying, cleaning and restoring your home. While you wait, there are a few things you can do to assist in the process.

1. Using gloves and old towels or rags blot to remove as much as the sludge left behind as possible. It may be contaminated, so exercise caution. Since flood water recedes, you should not have to worry too much about extracting too much water from your home. 
2.  Remove items from the floor, wiping them down and moving them to an area of your residence that was not impacted by the flood. Ensure all valuables are relocated to safe, dry locations.
3. Turn on the air conditioner in summer months to aid in lowering humidity levels in your home, exercising caution around electrical cords.

When the trained SERVPRO professionals arrive, they take over, assess the situation, come up with a customized plan for your unique situation, and spring into action to ensure the least possible damage to your home. Technicians extract any remaining excess water, perform a flood-cut if necessary, dry, and clean the impacted areas. We make it, "Like it never even happened." Depending upon the amount of flooding, the location within the structure, and weather conditions, the timeline for restoration can vary.
