Flood Damage Restoration in Downtown Montgomery

SERVPRO Technicians Can Get Your Property Back to Normal After a Flood
Living in the state capital, you see every style of housing within a mile or two of each other. Beautiful mansions just a short distance from apartment complexes to duplexes and single family homes. There's something for everyone and all of them are vulnerable to flooding.
You do not have to live next to the Gun Island Chute to see flood damage in downtown Montgomery. Sudden rains can quickly overcome storm drains and then the next thing you know, and you may need a skiff and an outboard motor just to get to Maxwell AFB. SERVPRO has the personnel and the equipment to deal with this rapid change in weather and the destruction it causes.
If our response team is called in soon enough, they can pump out standing water within hours. This can prevent the loss of drywall, wood flooring and carpets. Specially designed equipment can also remove excess moisture from furniture, preventing replacement. In a city with students from five major colleges and universities, this can be very important indeed.
We start the restoration process by removing standing water with commercial pumps and vacuums chosen specifically for each job. If the power has been shorted out by the floodwater, it is no problem. We have a large inventory of generators on hand to continue the job uninterrupted.
With the water gone, our technicians use commercial air movers (fans) and dehumidifiers to draw out excess moisture from the air, the walls, furniture, and carpets. If needed we also maintain heaters designed to dry out carpets without singeing the nap or damaging even a single fiber.
Once that is accomplished, our inspectors will look for further damage in the walls and trim of your home. They will also help you determine if your furniture can be restored, repaired or should be replaced.
If you are concerned about previous damage, or want to try and get ahead of the next rainstorm, call us today at (334) 273-0992 to set up an inspection. SERVPRO of Montgomery is locally owned, so your call is not just another job to us. We are ready to help.
