Services Needed to Protect Your Nashville Home After a Storm or Flood

3/24/2017 (Permalink)

Preparation is the Key to Preventing Storm Damage

Owning a home that resides in an area plagued by flooding, constant storms or inclement weather conditions can cause severe structural maintenance issues to develop over time. It is of particular importance to pay attention to new homes these days, where, even the slightest problems give water access to unprotected materials used during construction.
 
You would benefit from taking the time to locate a quality company that can provide you with the technicians and equipment necessary to dry out the crawl spaces of your Nashville home after a flood or heavy storm. Face it; the crawl space design used fifty years ago does not match changes made in building design over time.
 
SERVPRO offers a variety of services to help dry your entire home, including crawl spaces and other hard to reach areas. Depending on the foundation of your home, you likely open your crawl space access and find a dirt floor underneath. You may also find puddles of standing water, bugs, rodents, and little to no ventilation.
 
The vents installed in your home’s crawl space during construction are not adequate to remove moisture or protect your indoor environment sufficiently enough. Many homeowners find that crawl space encapsulation not only provides you with a more energy efficient option, but it also provides your family with a higher indoor air quality throughout your home.
 
At SERVPRO, we can provide you with crawl space encapsulation services that involve the use of recent technology to separate the crawl space from the ground using a high-quality vapor barrier; this creates an additional layer that protects your home from outdoor elements.
 
Our technicians perform a full inspection to determine the state of your crawl space before doing anything else. It involves locating and repairing any possible water problems that exist, along with cleaning, mold, and pest remediation services before encapsulating, to help avoid leaving vermin or fungi behind that can destroy the seal around the barrier we create.
 
SERVPRO can fully encapsulate your crawl space and install high-quality dehumidifiers to help regulate the temperature that exists, this often reduces foundation cracks, interior drywall cracks, developing uneven floors and produces great results your family can enjoy.
