Our SERVPRO team removes flood damaged contents from a Rockaway Park home. We are available 24/7 to assist with flooding.

Ocean Tides Can Cause Flood Damage, Also

Rockaway Park's location makes it prone to flooding from storms and rising sea levels. Parts of our neighborhood are below sea level by two or three yards. Homes here do not need to experience a storm to sustain flood damage. SERVPRO® is always nearby, including here on the peninsula, and ready to help make your property "Like it never even happened."

Property owners in Rockaway Park faced with flood damage should avoid returning to their property until it is safe. Flooding and storms create several hazards, from downed power lines to jagged items that can cut through clothing but submerged under dirty water. SERVPRO handles everything so you can relax and concentrate on stabilizing your family's temporary living situation.

When SERVPRO handles storm and flood damage, we include:

• Tree removal and roofing repairs,
• Repairs to flooring, electrical, & HVAC systems, and
• Removal of damaged materials.

Working in teams allows SERVPRO to accomplish more than one task at a time. While we pump out flood water from your home, we can assess your roof. We can remove any debris or trees and tarp openings. When weather permits, we can repair the roof and underlying elements.

The interior elements of your residence require repairs to be operable again. Flooring can cause trip and fall accidents if not repaired, and electrical conduits must be completely dry. HVAC systems often contain molds and other microbes that grew prolifically because of the flooding. We must also deal with water damage throughout the home.

Water damage can spread to your family's belongings, necessitating their removal for either disposal or cleaning at our facility. Cleaning requires special cleaning agents that remove soils and act as an antimicrobial. We work within municipal codes regarding everything, including any dumpsters we use to facilitate the cleaning up of your home.
