Biological Hazards Present the Most Direct Threats to the Health and Safety of Plainsboro Homeowners After Flooding

Cleaning up after flood damage can be a challenge for even experienced restoration professionals. With the possible hazardous conditions that could exist, it is advisable to seek trained and certified restoration specialists like our SERVPRO team to help.

What Biological Hazards Must SERVPRO Professionals Overcome? 

While the flood damage to Plainsboro homes is enough to warrant the need for SERVPRO restoration professionals, when you consider biological threats with intruding contaminants, it makes the need even more clear. Some of these threats include:

• Viral Pathogens – These are hazardous presences despite their biological inferiority to bacteria and fungi. Pathogens for viruses spread fast and can make occupants of the house sick.

• Bacterial Pathogens – Describe microbes living in soil, organic matter, or water. These pathogenic threats can travel through many pathways, including the air or cross-contamination with foot traffic through a flood-damaged space.

• Parasites – Parasites are not uncommon attributes of intruding floodwater. These, too, can cause damaging effects for those exposed.

• Fungi – The dissemination of fungi and microbial threats throughout the property after flood damage is considerable. These microbes and organisms can multiply and travel great distances in search of suitable conditions and hosts.

Intruding water can become a health hazard for those exposed without immediate action. Trust in the fast response of our SERVPRO of East Brunswick / Princeton Meadows team to help when you call (732) 432-9800.
