Save Time, Money, & Memories with Water Mitigation

Heavy rainfall that invades your residence in Slidell can cause significant damage to its structure and also harm your belongings. Our water mitigation team can help stop this damage from worsening.

In Slidell, floodwater mitigation protects homes and businesses and saves as many of your items inside the structure as possible. Doing this lowers expenses and reduces the time required to recover after a flood or other weather-related disaster.

Each of the activities performed by SERVPRO plays a crucial role in saving your family's essential and treasured items. Our mitigation services include the following:

• Sorting belongings according to soiling level,
• Providing initial cleaning, and
• Ensuring that uniform drying occurs.

Many cleaning and restoration tasks can occur at your residence, while other aspects are easier to complete at our facility. Our inventory process ensures you always know where your belongings are at any given time. A disaster involving floodwater causes different amounts of soiling throughout your residence. We sort affected items to help speed up the entire cleaning process.

Some at-risk items might need only a quick wipe-down with a dampened sponge, while others might require more extensive cleaning with different brushes and towels. We often need to use various cleaning agents. We want to have everything ready for the drying chambers at about the same time.

The drying chambers we construct help ensure we correctly handle your family's belongings in this final step. These enclosed areas are where we can inspect for any remaining soiling and now-visible damage that recently removed soiling covered and hidden from us. We use these chambers to take measurements and digital readings of the items. Drying items this way permits us to detect things that we once thought were restorable but find later are too damaged. Instead, we can list such items as beyond recoverable, allowing you to claim them with your insurance policy.
