Tarpon springs, Tampa Bay

Flooding can occur at anytime and anywhere and it can be devastating to homes and businesses. Floodwaters do not only enter the home and cause damage to household items, but can be strong enough to take your home off its foundation. If you have encountered flooding in Tarpon Springs, you know the headache and heartache that it can cause.

The first thing you want to remember is that even though you want to get into your home and start the cleanup process, it is best to do two things first. One is to make sure the house is structurally sound before beginning any type of work and the second is to make sure the power to the home is turned off because we all know electricity and water do not mix.

When the structure is safe to enter, assess the damage then call a professional, there are many steps that need to be followed in the correct order and each step has to be done properly before moving on. If step one is not done correctly then step two could be a waste of time and when it is all said and done you will have to call a professional anyways, but the amount of damage will have grown by that time, which will more than likely mean a bigger bill.

From taking out carpets and having them cleaned, disinfected, sanitized, and then cleaned again before reinstalling them to removing mold-covered drywall, a professional can make sure the job is done right the first time and that your house can once again be as beautiful as it was.
