Stormy weather and heavy rains may cause damage. SERVPRO uses the latest technology and equipment for every size of disaster.

Queens Residents Routinely Suffer All Kinds of Flood-Related Damage. 

Stormy weather, heavy rains, and the flood damage that often results are nothing new to residents of Queens. Several times a year, stormwaters overwhelm area storm sewers and low-lying parts of the city. When this happens, local homes experience various types of flood-related damage.

Flood damage in Queens comes in all forms, and SERVPRO has successfully dealt with them all. Floodwaters are particularly dangerous and damaging because they pick up and carry various wastes, like feces from overflowing sewers. Also, they are always a concern because it does not take much excess stormwater to produce serious results. In fact, floodwaters can permeate the foundation of your home and cause basement flooding long before rising to the level of your first floor.

Some types of flood damage our biohazard remediation teams have most often encountered in Queens are:

• Sewage-contaminated rooms and contents
• Severe basement flooding, involving several feet of standing water
• Inches or feet of deposited silt and waste inside impacted homes
• Moldy, degraded, or otherwise compromised structural elements
• Persistent, foul, flood-related odors that permeate all parts of affected residences

In order to address all of these common issues, SERVPRO offers expert sewage cleanup, residential disinfection, water removal services, and water damage repairs.
