Flash Flooding and Storm Water Removal Services for Prepared Nashua Residents

Before the winter months, many homeowners in Nashua begin planning for storm emergencies. These situations can be extremely challenging, which is why preparedness is an essential part of living in a community subject to extreme weather. Checking your insurance is up-to-date, and your coverage is adequate ahead of time can be invaluable. Adverse weather events can quickly lead to flooding as a result of heavy rainfall, dam breaks, ice dams on the roof, or road overflow.

Being prepared for violent weather includes keeping tabs on emergency stormwater removal services that work for Nashua communities. Flooding can occur rapidly in the case of flash flooding, making reinforcing your home ahead of time tough to manage. Professional storm restorers at SERVPRO are here should the worst-case scenario occur, and you need to remove large volumes of moisture from home. Generally, flash floods are blackwater damage scenarios because rushing water can absorb or transport human pathogens, debris, animal carcasses, or other harmful contaminants.

Storm Water Removal Nashua

Entering a structure with black water present requires the correct personal protective equipment. These must include respirators, heavy-duty gloves, boots, and, in some cases, full hazmat suits. Raw sewage, for example, brings in sewer gases to your home, which is harmful to inhale. Equally, the risk of cross-contamination throughout the house is highly likely. Our team at SERVPRO is equipped to enter the property safely, perform emergency mitigation tasks, and prepare the job site should your home need third-party specialists.

The crucial emergency mitigation task is to reduce standing water levels as soon as possible. Standing water with high contamination levels is dangerous to human contact. It is also damaging the structure of your property by exerting significant pound for pound pressure on walls, flooring, and ceilings. Using a self-priming trash pump to remove the water can be suitable equipment because it is specially designed for transporting solid waste. Once there is standing water reduction, we can use more handy deep extraction tools to complete the job. Submersible sump pumps and portable wet/vacs are part of our Green Fleet inventory, always available.
