If the mud in the Kitchen of Your Frederick Home is due to Storm Damage, Let a Professional Team Handle it

Storms in Frederick can be scary before, during, and after they happen. All your preparation may be useless if the storm breaks into your home through a window or roof, leaving it wide open to receive the water and debris floodwater carries. Once the storm passes and you assess the damage, it may be overwhelming. However, there are teams of people prepared to handle your needs after the weather event, and reaching out to them is the best decision you can make.

In Frederick, flood damage is our specialty at SERVPRO. Our team holds certifications from industry leaders as well as years of expertise in the field. We know which steps need to happen to restore your home after a natural event and have the equipment to support those steps. Whether only part of your home suffers from storm damage, or it is widespread, our crew guides you through the recovery process to bring your home back to mint condition in coordination with your insurance company when appropriate.

Can't I just clean the mud after a flood and be done? Why should I call a restoration company?

After the storm, you may attempt to grab some cleaning supplies and get to work. Even though this is undoubtedly helpful, you need to consider the risk to your health and the possibility of leaving areas unattended. Our SERVPRO staff wears personal protective equipment when we arrive at your home to prevent cross-contamination and protect us from bacteria that inevitably come with outside water. It is precisely the threat of microbes such as mold that moves our team to be very careful in drying all surfaces of your home and restoring normal humidity levels. To control moisture, we can use some of the following equipment:

    •    Pumps for water extraction
    •    Dehumidifiers and air circulators for water evaporation
    •    Drying mats for your subfloors to preserve them

Some items will require additional repairs or to be removed altogether from home. However, you can count on SERVPRO of Frederick County for help. Call us at our 24/7 hotline (301) 662-1747 and let us leave your home “Like it never even happened.”
