After Flooding in Milton, Call Your Adjuster and a Professional Water Restoration Service Right Away!

Floods typically create an area-wide emergency, and it may take a while before your insurance adjuster arrives at your Milton home. In the meantime, water is soaking your floors, walls, and personal property. Rather than leaving the issue unattended, call a professional service to help you assess the damage and propose a cleanup plan and water extraction and drying plan.

For flood damage in Milton, you can call SERVPRO for help. Our team is thorough in detecting damage throughout your home and putting together an action plan for its restoration. As we do our job, we document every step, and you can share this documentation with your insurance company as needed. This CCIS Contents Claim Inventory System program greatly simplifies your claims process and evidences non-salvageable structural elements and contents.

Is it dangerous to leave floodwater unattended?

Floodwater brings many organic detritus into your home, and leaving it unattended makes it easy for mold and microorganisms to reproduce and invade your space. Aside from the biohazard, your structural elements are also at risk when they sit in water for a long time. Your priority should be to let SERVPRO into your home and get to work by using-

• Pumps to extract water
• Dehumidifiers and air circulators to encourage drying
• EPA-approved disinfecting solutions to kill bacteria left behind

Our advanced equipment has specific uses and helps us successfully restore your home while mitigating collateral damage. At SERVPRO of Sullivan and South Ulster Counties, we are here to help. Call us at (845) 791-7647 and let us leave your home, "Like it never even happened."
