Flooding is one of the most devastating and overwhelming disasters a property can face. From the rapid onset to the spread of potentially contaminated water throughout the residence, there is no time to waste when starting mitigation and restoration solutions. While this need is apparent when water penetrates the main living area, you might also need to stay informed about the condition of your house’s two other primary problem areas: the attic and the crawlspace.
Overcoming Flood Damage Anywhere in Your House
Flood damage cleanup for Oklahoma City properties is a complex and multi-layered process. From the time professionals like our BISON Restoration team arrive, we begin vital mitigation work to slow the spread of migrating surface water. In problem areas like the crawlspace or the attic, unique extraction and cleaning methods that differ from cleanup in the main living space might be necessary.
- Attic: Water damage in the attic is often the result of a compromised building envelope, such as missing pieces of the roof or holes. Extraction efforts are complicated in confined spaces like these, so our team relies on portable removal units like wet vacs to do the bulk of the work and low-profile air movers to manage evaporation.
- Crawlspace: Similar to the challenges of the attic, the confined space of this area of the residence requires unique extraction and drying equipment to manage. Unlike the relatively clean water associated with a flooded attic, there is a higher probability that flooding in the crawlspace features contaminants. Our BISON team can clean surfaces, remove standing water, and even work in long-term solutions like crawlspace encapsulation to avoid flooding recurrences in the future with moisture barriers and permanent sump pump units.
