How to Clean Up Minor Flood Damage in Your Loudon Condo

Sometimes, you do not have the time or money to reach out for professional flood damage remediation services, and that is okay. Not everyone is in a position where they have spare cash saved up or can pay for an expensive service. It is essential, no matter what, to attend to the damage and make sure that it doesn't have a chance to lead to further damages inside of your home.

It is never wise to leave the flood damage inside your Loudon home alone to its own devices for very long. Firstly, introducing water to mold spores can activate them and allow them to cause damage inside your home. Mold can cause health effects in some individuals, so it is not safe to allow inside of your home. Secondly, water damage can cause unsightly looking stains, bubbles, and cracks along the floor and walls of your unit. Get to work right away to avoid these issues.

So, how do you remediate the flood damage in your condo on your own? SERVPRO has some advice for you, based on our professional expertise in the field. The flood damage inside of your home came from an open window in your bathroom. A puddle of water has formed on your laminate flooring, around your toilet and bathtub. The most important place to start is to get rid of this standing water. If it sinks into the laminate flooring, it can ruin it.

The best way to remove this water is with a wet/dry vacuum or an extractor, but not everyone has access to these devices. Because the puddle is relatively contained, and small, towels and a mop can work to clean up the water. However, removing the puddle is not enough. Here at SERVPRO, we highly recommend for you to ensure that there is no excess moisture remaining.

If you have a small space heater and a resident-grade dehumidifier, putting them both into your bathroom to work together is best. Also, run the exhaust if one is in the ceiling to vent to the exterior moisture. These devices can help draw excess humidity out of the structure of your home. After some time, should you notice any bubbling or cracking in the flooring or the musty smell of mold, you should reach out to SERVPRO right away.
