SERVPRO Provides Flood Damage Restoration in Poughkeepsie

When a storm strikes your neighborhood, the wind created can be one of its most destructive forces. If wind speeds get high during a snowstorm or thunderstorm, gravel, rocks, or branches could become airborne. If any flying debris happens to strike one of your windows, your structure could get breached during the rain or snowstorm. If you have broken windows, moisture can enter your house until you get your building re-sealed. 

If you suffer from flood damage in Poughkeepsie after a storm, you could find that a large amount of water goes into your house. Suppose moisture coming from the outdoors comes into contact with porous items like your carpet or clothing. In that case, the materials might have to be removed and replaced due to the possibility of contamination. Other non-porous materials in your house, like your hardwood or linoleum floors, could also have contacted moisture, and they will need attention from our SERVPRO technicians.

Anytime outside water affects your building materials or contents inside your home, contamination and mold growth could become issues. Therefore, it is wise to remove all moisture in less than two days. Luckily, our highly trained team at SERVPRO can assist you with the following because We're Faster To Any Size Disaster:

• Water Extraction Services
• Category 2 and 3 Water Damage Restorations
• Applied Structural Drying (ASD)
• Black Mold Inspections
• Water Damage Debris Removal
• Restorative Carpet Cleaning

Once we extract and dry out your wet hard-surface floors, we can then take steps to clean and decontaminate them. Since there is a chance the moisture that contacted your flooring contained harmful bacteria or other microscopic particles, we can use a disinfectant such as Vanquish. 

If a broken window during a storm turns into a major water damage project, call SERVPRO of NW & SE Dutchess County at (845) 635-4550.
