Protecting Saturated Structural Supports In Cape Canaveral Homes
Structural damages can be devastating to Cape Canaveral homes contending with flooding. Apart from potential contamination and the saturation of the contents within the property, structural compromise can lead to injuries and the failure of installed construction materials. Protecting your property from this degradation and deterioration involves a swift response from qualified professionals like our SERVPRO team. We can handle all aspects of flood damage with efficiency because We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.
Though flood damage in Cape Canaveral homes can occur in various ways, our focus must begin with the effect to the structure itself once our content management team has removed at-risk items from the area. While much of the damage to structural elements is unknown until our professionals can remove any standing water and begin drying out saturated materials, we have sophisticated discovery devices that can help to identify the presence of water damage to supports like wall studs, framing, joists, and other elements throughout your home.
As you might expect, the degradation of these supports can lead to the structural collapse of the installed materials nearby, so addressing these threats is a priority of our SERVPRO team dispatched to your property. With our fast response and rapid drying efforts, we can often preserve installed structural elements and joists from requiring removal and reinstallation. Depending on the type of flooding, we might also need to expose these damaged materials to apply our industrial-grade line of disinfection products. These prevent bacterial growth and reduce the possibilities of mold growth as well.
Flood cuts made in surface materials like drywall and paneling give our technicians access to the framing and studs beyond it. We have low profile air movers and multiple dehumidification units to dry out the saturation without the need for full panel removal of the sheetrock. Our combination of rapid drying tools can help to make even wall cavity moisture “Like it never even happened.”
We know that flooding can be a stressful time for your home, and our SERVPRO of Central Brevard team can help however you need. You can give us a call anytime disaster strikes for our fast and confident response to protect your investment. Call us today at (321) 638-4947.
