The Location of the Damage
The location of flood damage in Fort Pierce homes makes a considerable difference in how the effects get treated and the pace of the overall restoration steps. Getting mitigation started is vital, and the tools for extraction and drying change based on the location and severity of flooding. Some of the common areas affected include:
- Attic
- Crawlspace
- Main living area
- Garage
Safety and Health Concerns
Standing water undoubtedly can cause several possible threats to the homeowners and the occupancy of the house. When pooling impacts rooms, building materials can deteriorate under this saturation and exposure. Additionally, we must deduce any compromising conditions with visual inspections of building elements to avoid shock or structural collapse.
Depth of Standing Water
The depth of any standing water in the house is another consideration for determining efficient extraction and drying. While shallow damage can often be remedied with tools like wet vacuums, carpet wands, and squeegee wands, deeper threats typically require efficient submersible pump solutions and stationary machines like our trash pumps for removing water with solids.
