Step 5: Cleaning and Sanitizing

What Cleanup is Needed in Water Damaged Clearwater Properties?

Cleaning up after a water damage event can be one of the most important steps our professionals take to return your home to preloss condition. We prioritize the training and experience of our cleaning technicians, allowing them to become the most rounded and knowledgeable assets on our roster. Because there are many levels of cleaning required after water restoration, these professionals are ready to begin their work immediately following drying.

What Tools Complete this Cleanup?

One of the biggest obstacles for our technicians cleaning up after water damage is the residues and debris left behind. We have proven the cleaning tactics to address these concerns and effective products to overcome soiling and staining. From dry vacuuming loose debris to foam cleaning with longer contact times, we can effectively restore the initial appearance of impacted surfaces when possible. Contents can benefit from on-site or off-site cleaning, which can include:

Drying
Disinfection
Deodorization
Safe storage at SERVPRO facility

Choosing Between Cleanup or Controlled Demolition

With many aging homes in Pinellas County and historic Cleveland Street, the right recovery and remediation solution is not always set. While we intend to restore over replace, this is not always feasible. There are many instances where repairs and reconstruction are more efficient and cost-effective than cleaning and deodorization. And careful evaluation of impacted structural elements can determine where our general contractor license is more beneficial to the household.
