Flooding is one of the many threats that Oklahoma homes and businesses face every season. From snowmelt to torrential rainfall, homeowners must stay prepared for rapidly changing conditions if they live in susceptible areas. If your property does experience flooding, professionals like our BISON Restoration team must arrive quickly to help mitigate loss and prevent the situation from worsening.
Extraction Approaches for Flooded Areas
Flood damage cleanup for Moore properties involves several simultaneous approaches. While emergency services are vital to contain the standing water and avoid more significant damage to the structure, we also assess the conditions of materials that absorbed the water and subflooring materials that might also become affected.
- Surface Water Removal: When entering a flooded home, our first focus is draining the visible water with powerful extractors. Gas-powered trash pumps and wet vacuums are crucial components in eliminating pooling, even with floating solids and debris.
- Removing Absorbed Water: Beyond managing the threats of standing water, we must also work to overcome any moisture and flood water quickly pulled into porous materials like drywall and wood. Often, evaporation is the counteractant for absorption. If contamination is a concern, these materials must be removed and replaced if exposed.
- Sub-Surface Extraction: We use products in our inventory, like drying mats, on OSB board, and plywood typically used as a base for carpeting. If contamination is not a concern, these structural systems can be saved, dried, and put back into action with new padding and rug layers.
