When the flood damage is severe, your best option may be to relocate from the premises. Team SERVPRO has the technicians and the equipment to help.

When Severe Flood Damage Strikes Your Shreveport Home, it Maybe Necessary to Relocate. SERVPRO Can Handle Flood Damage Recovery Responsibly.

Are flood move-outs expensive?

Temporary relocation from your flood-damaged Shreveport home is usually reserved for situations where the damage is so extreme it is unsafe for you to remain. These situations are typically time-consuming and expensive. Contents of your home need to be inventoried for storage as well as moved out of the property. The remaining structure can then be prepared for mitigation of damage, reconstruction, and restoration. SERVPRO conducts move-outs efficiently and responsibly using a combination of managers and employees who design and execute the task. Your possessions are carefully inspected for repairability and inventorying before any move-outs take place.

How is an empty structure prepared for flood restoration?

• Lockboxes may be set up on-site for secure storage of equipment.
• Auxiliary lighting to ensure work efficiency and safety of the site
• Disposal needs such as a dumpster for non-salvageable materials

How do content inventories secure my possessions during flood relocation?

There is much work to do on a property with severe flood damage in Shreveport. Crew chiefs and production IICRC-certified technicians need to sort and separate salvageable or non-salvageable goods first. Once these are sorted, SERVPRO can record salvageable possessions in a content inventory, of which you can gain a copy. We can then take the items for packing and load them into a movers van for secure storage. Our warehouses are climate-controlled, and your contents are safe to remain until your home is restored.

How are contents ordered during a flood move out?

• Boxes containing smaller, non-fragile items 
• Large items of furniture may be disassembled on site for easier packing and transit
• Electronic items and personal or high-value items are packed separately and stored securely in the warehouse
