Professional Mitigation Services Include Water Cleanup after a Disaster in New Orleans

We have strategically placed our equipment throughout this room that had water damage.

From storms to pipes, SERVPRO can clean up water from your home

Its closeness to the Atlantic means New Orleans gets doused with rain and other wet weather, including hurricanes, quite often. Homeowners and businesses can expect many of these events to push water into their homes, warehouses, and buildings occasionally. Getting the water out quickly can help prevent many subsequent problems from developing.

When your property in New Orleans gets waterlogged from terrible weather conditions or an internal water leak, water cleanup services should start immediately. SERVPRO’s team of restoration experts and technicians can help ensure that this happens efficiently. After removing any visible water, we begin cleaning up the affected area by using smaller extraction units.

While clean water from leaks often does not cause hazardous conditions from pathogens and other biological hazards, it can happen when water sits for too long a period. A handful of pathogens can multiply rapidly whenever conditions favor their proliferation. From storms and flooding incidents, water covering your building or home’s floor most likely does contain health hazards.

However, we must first reinstate dry conditions before we can eradicate any pathogens. Wet conditions can significantly diminish the effect of our antimicrobial agents. SERVPRO teams quickly dry out a damp home with the use of air movers and air scrubbers. Our air scrubbers contain HEPA filters to remove airborne microbes, such as mold spores and viruses. This helps immensely in keeping mold and mildew damage from occurring and causing problems in the future.

Once we finish the water cleanup process and we restore your home “Like it never even happened,” life can get back to normal for you and your family. SERVPRO of North Kenner, Harahan & Lakeview wants to help families in the River Ridge and Jefferson areas recover from disasters stemming from both weather disasters and those that happen because of broken water pipes that create disastrous leaks in your plumbing. Call us at (504) 468-3046 so we can help restore your home quickly and get things back to normal again.
