Rely on SERVPRO to mitigate flooding in your Erie basement. "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO® Mitigates Flood-Damaged Homes

When the weather in Erie gets cold, and the temperatures dip below freezing, drains in your basement can back up into your home. SERVPRO can help clean up flood damage caused by ice storms and other bad weather.

Even if your sump pump is working, your Erie home can have flood damage if a clog or backed-up area in the sewer stops water from flowing freely. Blockages can push water up through your toilet, sink, tub, or basement drain. We use special equipment to clean up these messes and make things habitable in your home "Like it never even happened."

The basics of what we bring into your home to combat flood damage involve extraction units, disinfectants, drying equipment, and items that help us clean up the physical debris. Here is a short list of these items:

• Our Green Fleet's pump truck
• In-house disinfectant agents
• Air moving units
• General cleaning tools

Our pump trucks can remove solid waste along with standing water. We have smaller extraction units and adaptable equipment that connect to the same powerful truck.

Once your home's affected area is free of the bulk of the water and debris, we can apply an environmentally friendly sanitizing agent. Our team will give you information about our chemical agents and alternatives. Each agent makes the area safe for our technicians to continue mitigating the flood damage inside your home.

Secondary water damage quickly becomes a high-risk threat. To reduce this risk, we create as much air movement as possible. Our air movers include commercial-grade box fans and heated blowers. In cases of elevated humidity, we can bring in our desiccant machines.

The final touches of making your home comfortable and welcoming again require cleaning up the last traces of flood damage. Our tools include wet towels, stiff brushes, vacuums, mops, sponges, and pleasant-smelling disinfectant agents.
