Immediate Removal of Water in Shreveport is the Best Water Restoration Course of Action

Water restoration of Shreveport homes after a storm involves many steps leading to fully restoring your home to its preloss condition. Mitigating the damage is one of the highest priorities of our SERVPRO team. Removing water immediately from floors, walls, and ceilings can significantly reduce the secondary damage caused by moisture absorption and mold.

SERVPRO sets priorities, develops a plan, and focuses initial water restoration efforts in your Shreveport home to minimize total damage after a storm:

• Assess the damage, water, and debris penetration and safety issues
• Install temporary protection – tarps on roofs, board up of windows and doors
• Initiate water removal – pumping, weighted extractors, vacuum wands
• Remove debris, begin disinfection and cleaning
• Install high-capacity air movers and dehumidifiers to begin drying the home

Once we have removed all the water and debris, humidity has returned to normal levels, and your home has been cleaned and disinfected, it is time to focus on restoration activities. Our building services crew can begin repair and restoration, coordinated by SERVPRO. Building services that may be required include:

• Repairs to the roof, windows, and other outside areas, in addition to general exterior cleanup
• Controlled demolition of structure permanently damaged, e.g., flooring, walls, cabinets
• Restoration, including – electrical, plumbing, HVAC, walls, floors, and cabinet installation
• Painting, flooring installation
• Return your contents that were cleaned and dried and held in a safe environment

Don’t hesitate to discuss any special concerns your family may have concerning valuable contents, heirlooms, or working with your insurance company.
