SERVPRO Talks About The Dangers Of Waiting To Address Flood Damage In Oxnard

Flooding is one of the most severe situations a homeowner can face. Flood water generally speaking doesn't enter your home "clean" like water from a plumbing issue or appliance failure. On its way to entering your home, the water can pick up toxins, debris, even sewage, and harmful substances.

When SERVPRO gets a call to handle flooding in an Oxnard home, our technicians arrive with safety for all at the top of the list. We are local to the area and familiar with the municipal, state and federal regulations for decontamination. During the first entry, it is common for technicians to spray an EPA-registered disinfectant on areas deemed to be affected. The next course of action determines if containment measures are necessary to stop the spread of contaminants to other areas of the home currently unaffected by flood waters.

Removing flood water from inside and around the home is a priority. We have different types of pumps depending on the amount of water that needs to be moved out. Our truck-mounted units can quickly pull thousands of gallons of water from the house. Technicians test the water to determine what types of contaminants and the emergency level of the water in the home and assign a designation of either gray or black water, so they know the emergency procedures to follow to decontaminate the home safely.

Since our IICRC technicians have certifications in several areas of applied restoration processes including Water Damage Restoration and Applied Structural Drying, our goal is to restore rather than replace. We inspect each affected surface and item, but in the case of severe gray or black water damage restoring may not an option for some items due to the porosity, as porous items cannot be adequately disinfected to remain safely in the home. The more quickly the cleanup begins, often the more possessions that can be saved.

When flood damage happens, the clock is ticking on saving your home from further damage. SERVPRO of Oxnard is available 24/7 for emergency services. We arrive quickly and get started immediately. Call (805) 984-2347 to start the cleanup in your home now.
