Is the odor the main priority after a flood?

Our SERVPRO team understands the ramifications of flooding, and the lingering smell is undoubtedly one of them. Although we first focus on avoiding cross-contamination and discarding items beyond repair, we also set the groundwork for disinfecting and deodorizing your home. However, a musty smell plays a vital role in identifying underlying issues that need our attention. A smell can point us to residual waters or excess humidity in your walls. When it is time to address the stench, our team may use some of the following techniques to make it a thing of the past:

• Ozone generator- helpful in purifying the air in your home, it is usually one of the last steps in your restoration
• Drywall replacement- the smell may come from drywall with excess humidity. Our team can work on replacing the panel or preparing the area for other contractors as appropriate.
• Charcoal filters and air scrubbers- cleaning the air and killing bacteria is essential to eliminating odor molecules
