Contents Need Specialized Care When Flood Damages Sweeps through Your Santa Rosa Beach Home

Storms building on the Gulf hit homes in Santa Rosa Beach hard. When responding to the influx rainwater and storm surge, it can seem as though household goods and possessions need to take a back seat to the recovery needs of your home’s structural components and fixtures. Relegating all your worldly possessions to the rubbish is expensive and risks the loss of irreparable memories and treasures. We have a comprehensive answer to the question of how to manage movable property during a flooding restoration.

When flood damage devastates your Santa Rosa Beach property, we recommend a pack-out of your possessions for many reasons. Clearing the flooded spaces in your home makes sand, silt, mud, and water removal easier. Pumping and extracting the water proceeds rapidly when furnishings and boxes no longer need to be shifted from room to room. Staining from rust or varnished and painted legs of tables, chairs, and other home decor is no longer an issue.

SERVPRO is proficient in creating detailed inventories and tracking documents when we pack up and move out your possessions. We employ a number of methods, together known as our Contents Claim Inventory Service (CCIS), to keep tabs on each article moved to our production facility. Lists, digital photographs, and a barcoding system keep things organized.

Our production technicians evaluate the condition of the packed-out items, helping you determine what to keep and restore and what to discard if its condition requires. SERVPRO works with homeowners and insurance carriers to authorize the specialized cleaning and drying techniques our technicians master at IICRC training. These strategies bring back to function and appearance everything from water-soaked documents to your child’s favorite teddy bear.

As the workers in our production facility review, clean, and dry your household’s possessions, our on-site team is completing the tasks needed to complete flood water remediation at your home. SERVPRO’s goal is to complete both parts of the flood recovery equation, equaling your relief as your home and belongings come back together “Like it never even happened.”
