Pumping Standing Water from a South Kingstown Basement

5/20/2021 (Permalink)

Flooding from a storm can catch you off guard, call SERVPRO of Washington County today.

With several extraction units, basement flooding cleanup is possible in South Kingstown.

When basements become flooded by a burst pipe or storm damages, specific water removal tools are required. As an underground level in most households, this drop in distance requires a greater force for discharging standing water like a high-pressure pump. Likewise, powerful extractors are necessary when solids and debris are anticipated in the standing floodwater. Truck-mounted pumps and trash pumps have appropriately-sized discharge hoses for this reason. This helps with:

• Basement flooding cleanup
• Flood restoration
• Water removal services
• Sewage cleanup

What Preventative Measures Protect the Property After Drying?

Once water removal services address much of the flood damage in South Kingstown properties, it is necessary to provide preventative measures to ward off destructive secondary effects like mold and microbial colonies. Post-flooding recovery can leave areas moist for several days while air movers and dehumidifiers continue regulating humidity. Mold inhibiting products sprayed on surfaces can prevent microbial threats from developing while flood damage is still being restored.

Addressing standing water and storm damage in your home involves a fast response and powerful tools. Our SERVPRO of Washington County is ready to help when you call (401) 315-2337.
