When flooding strikes, a quick response is what you need. Contact SERVPRO for certified technicians and effective water removal equipment. Call 24/7.

No Matter the Source, SERVPRO Can Respond to Mississauga Seasonal Flood Damage

Recently massive flood damage in Mississauga occurred during a snowstorm after a snow plow hit a fire hydrant. The broken hydrant poured vast quantities of water into roadways, taking many hours to clean up. This unique disaster serves as a reminder that flooding can threaten Mississauga residences 365 days a year and that storm damage can take many unexpected turns during its relentless paths toward damaging area properties.

How Can SERVPRO Help Keep Your Family Safe During Storm-Related Basement Flooding? 

We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster, arriving as quickly as possible to scope out the circumstances required for Mississauga flood restoration. The crucial first phase include a safety assessment during which an experienced SERVPRO project manager checks out the following, among many other hazards:

• Ceilings and walls for trapped water heavy enough to collapse structures and injure occupants

• Characteristics of the flood waters, always considered Category 3 or most contaminated, but that can contain:

• Biohazards such as asbestos or lead-based painted surfaces now broken apart and with the dangerous substances uncontained
• Infectious organisms from sewage, either washing in from flooded roadways or backing up from waste pipes in your home

If flooding damage is severe enough, we work with your insurance company to cover the expense of alternative housing until your flood-battered home returns to a secure and sanitized condition.

Does SERVPRO Then Begin Emergency Services Related to Water Damage?

As soon as SERVPRO puts controls in place for the safety hazards presented, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)-trained crews begin the water removal, cleaning, disinfecting, and applied structural drying. We take every step necessary to make storm flooding “Like it never even happened.”
