Esporta Can Clean Challenging Soft Contents Suffering Dirt Overload After Flooding in Nashua 

Although recent years flooding along the Merrimack has not reached the levels of 2006’s evacuation, Nashua residents are wary during times of snowmelt and heavy spring rains. Overland flash flooding can occur during torrential precipitation even without the waterways rising. Silt, mud, and other soils and debris swept into your home along with other hazardous substances can soak textiles and other soft contents.  

We Invested to Meet Our Customers’ Needs 

Replacing clothing and accessories, window coverings, rugs, toys, and a host of other soft items is costly after flooding in Nashua. Our Esporta System cleans dirt, chemicals, pathogens, molds, odors, and more from an endless list of household goods and personal possessions. Cost is but one consideration. The time needed to dispose of and replace items is an issue as well. Perhaps the most compelling reason we purchased this innovative washing system is our newfound capability to return unique and treasured items to our customers at a time of great distress and disturbance in their lives. 

Food Grade Clean 

The Esporta system goes above and beyond when cleaning dirt, toxins, and malodors from your flood-damaged belongings. Independent laboratory tests validate that the patented technology and proprietary detergent recipes consistently return 90 percent of contents to “food grade clean.” This high standard means SERVPRO can far exceed the results of conventional industrial washing and dry cleaning in the restoration industry, where not even 40 percent of soft items escape permanent disposal. 

Avoiding Needless Wear and Tear 

Dirt embedded in the fibers, padding, and stuffing of soft contents can damage your belongings in many ways. Staining and odors are concerning, but the particles of sand, mud, silt and just every day “dirt” can shred and cut cloth and break stitching. Before SERVPRO had the Esporta system, we risked damaging soft contents further by rubbing the abrasive soils into the materials by the agitation, paddle, or tumbling action of a typical washing machine. The hydraulic action of the Esporta moves water through materials without additional force, moving both organic and inorganic contaminants out of the objects. 

Do not despair if flood damage affects textile and other soft items. SERVPRO of Nashua offers a one-of-a-kind clean with the highly effective Esporta system. Call us at (603) 889-2311 to see firsthand how we can help.
