Fire & Water - Cleanup & Restoration


Extreme Floor Buckling From Storm Damage

This job was from a storm in Waunakee, Wisconsin, where sump-pumps failed to keep up with the amount of rain coming in. The sport court and the lower level of the house was saturated and damaged beyond repair. Due to the extensive damage, we had to remove the flooring and flood cut the walls around the perimeter to remove the wet and contaminated insulation. As seen in the after pictures, we successfully dried the once saturated lower level with air movers and dehumidifiers.

When extreme storms leave your basement or building flooded and damaged, SERVPRO of Dane County West can perform a flood cut to start the restoration process. A flood cut involves removing a minimum of at least 12 inches and sometimes up to four feet of drywall starting above where water damage ends. This procedure opens the structure so that walls may be dried, and it ensures that all contaminants are removed both internally and externally. The contaminated insulation has to be removed to get rid of accumulated bacteria. SERVPRO of Dane County West Professionals can then bring in industrial fans and dehumidifiers to dry interior wall structures. Once dried, we can repair the wall to its preloss condition.
