Disastrous Flooding Calls for Debris Removal and Damage Mitigation in Crossville

Recovering after a flood leaves your property full of messy debris and foul-smelling muck is a job that many homeowners in the Crossville area lack the equipment to carry out safely. Removing the debris that invaded your home only partially leaves your home woefully unprotected and considerably at risk of extensive damage in the future. It also means your family can experience unwanted health effects from exposure to any remaining chemicals or pathogens.

Debris from floods includes decaying plants, soils, and thick mud, run-off from streams which can contain contamination from factories and other industrial activities, and worse. To eliminate these contaminants and other flood damage from your Crossville property, our IICRC-certified restoration specialists start with preparing to do the work safely. We always use personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce hazards that might cause us injuries.

Our full-body suits, heavy gloves, boots, and face masks let us do the work with little worry about the mess we extract from your house. Mud and more solid debris get carried out by the bucket-full. Steadily making progress, we soon reveal walls and floors that seemed lost forever under the filth left behind by the flood.

We spray clean water throughout to flush anything left behind on surfaces and then begin the steps needed to make the area safe for habitation again. After inundation by floodwaters, we need to not only clean the surfaces in your home that remain otherwise undamaged, but we must also sanitize them to kill the excess microbes that might cause problems for your family. We use specially formulated cleaners that we spray onto surfaces and then wipe off after a few minutes of dwell time.

Removing the waste and debris from your home on the outside also helps keep your family safe. Children often do not see the dangers in debris left behind after storms or floods, so we help get your yard and exterior areas of your home cleaned up by removing such hazards.
