Prompt Flood Water Removal in Nashua Homes Prevents Secondary Destruction

Floodwater may enter your home because of river flooding, storms, or a torrential downpour, and it can cause permanent damage if not removed right away. Flood damage to your residential property can leave an unsanitary and unhealthy mess in its wake. Dealing with this mess necessitates flood cleanup expertise.  

When in need of flood water removal in Nashua, SERVPRO franchise professionals can help you get your home back to the preloss condition speedily. We are a professional water damage remediation company and offer a full range of water extraction and drying services. We can remove water and moisture from your home and its contents effectively and safely.  

We assess a home to determine the extent of the destruction from flooding and dry the affected areas. We have the expertise to deal with black water, which usually contains pesticides, chemicals, industrial waste, and sewage. The sewage may contain parasites, bacteria, and viruses that could pose health problems.  

Floodwater can cause cracks on the foundation of your home. Soil can absorb water unevenly and cause the concrete slab on which your home rests to lift or crack. This shifting may lead to ruptures in embedded pipes, cracked exterior walls, and a sagging roof.  Foundation shifts can affect windows and doors. The frames become distorted, causing the glass in the windows to break. Windows and doors that do not open are a common sign of damage.  

Our SERVPRO technicians examine the entire flooded area, including carpet and carpet pad, floor and subfloors, insulation, walls and surfaces like brick and concrete. Our protocol is to remove and discard flooded carpet. For other areas, we can use truck mounted or portable pumps to extract as much water as possible since this helps expedite the drying process.  

Our crews can also use air movers and dehumidifiers to dry your home. We can also use thermal imaging cameras to inspect and monitor the moisture in building materials. We locate areas of dampness that may not be clear and remove the moisture to ensure that mold does not grow.  

If your home has suffered flooding, call SERVPRO of Nashua immediately at 603) 889-2311 for water extraction services. We restore homes to their preloss condition safely and efficiently. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.
