We Protect Homes from Intrusive Stormwater Runoff

Storms can cause severe damage with high winds that push trees down and onto houses or garages. These same winds can also force storm runoff across low-lying thresholds, under the door, and into your Plainsboro home, causing flood damage.

When flood damage affects your Plainsboro residence, call SERVPRO® for an experienced mitigation and restoration team. While such damage involves mainly the floor, our protocols minimize destruction to other areas of the home.

What we do about runoff to minimize flood damage to your property:

  • Prompt water extraction and removal of moisture,
  • Treatment of surfaces, and
  • Thorough drying

If there is more than a few inches of water or the affected area is extensive, we use our pump truck to perform a rapid pump-out. We might use heat and fans to finish the rest for flooding in your garage with its concrete floor. We often use the InjectiDry system with its mats and extraction capabilities to remove moisture underneath the floorboards for wooden floors. Unfortunately, because of their construction, carpets and parquet floors are often not salvageable and require replacement.

After removing the moisture, our technicians clean and sanitize salvageable flooring. This step is vital for eliminating a large percentage of microbes and rendering inert odor-causing particles.

Once we've treated surfaces for debris from the floodwater and anything left on your home's affected interior, we can initiate drying. We use air movers and desiccant machines. When conditions warrant their use, we will also implement air scrubbers and increase the temperature of the affected area.

You can trust SERVPRO of East Brunswick / Princeton Meadows to handle any storm or flood damage affecting your home. Call us today, and we will make it "Like it never even happened."
