Storm Ready and Flood Standards
After a storm passes through the Greater Memphis area, SERVPRO of Southeast Memphis can be onsite to extract the water with trained personnel. We observe the weather and are sure to have crews ready for any size storm.
When flooding occurs, it is standard to remove porous materials and dispose of them. Porous materials are any fabrics, drywall, and exposed wood. These items will soak up floodwater leaving contaminates inside the pores. Because of the pores, the materials are often very hard to clean well and often have to be removed altogether. The after picture shows a flood cut, removing 12 inches of drywall from the flood line.
