Toronto skyline with Lake Ontario From Toronto to Mississauga--Property Owners Rely on SERVPRO for Floodwater Removal and Restoration

SERVPRO Can Use Advanced Technology to Remove the Flood Water From Your Mississauga Home!

Discovering that your home desperately needs local Mississauga flood water removal services is not how most homeowners want to start their day. However, when you live adjacent to Lake Ontario, severe storms can jeopardize your home. For example, imagine a scenario where the road to your home floods in ankle-deep water. That water flows down your driveway and then floods your garage, leaving your possessions and camping gear in danger of water damage.

The best thing you can do for your home is to reach out to local Mississauga water removal services. You may think that the floodwaters are less likely to damage your home because the damage is in your garage. However, this is untrue since the excess moisture can still access the framing of your home. Water damage of any kind is time-sensitive- don't allow it to sit and cause more issues.

What Could Happen to My Outdoor Equipment if I Don't Address the Flood Damage?

Neglecting the flood damage in your garage can cause much damage to your expensive possessions. For example:

  • Wet tarps, tents, and camping chairs are a breeding ground for mould and mildew
  • Your outdoor equipment could gain a musty and unpleasant odor
  • Prolonged exposure to excess moisture could ruin sealant on your camping equipment

Furthermore, flooding could also impact the framing of your home. Drywall can absorb water and expose your electrical and insulation to moisture. For the longevity of your home, keep water out.

What Can SERVPRO Do to Remove the Water Damage?

SERVPRO technicians have access to advanced industry-grade technological devices. To remove the water, we can start by:

  • Removing your packed possessions and sending them to our facility for professional treatment and repacking
  • Setting up portable pumps, wet/dry vacuums, and flood drying mats to remove the floodwaters
  • Arrange drying equipment to ensure mould growth is less likely

Here at SERVPRO, we take flood damage remediation very seriously. Our goal is always to make you feel, "Like it never even happened."

If you need flood damage removal, don't wait. Dial (905) 238-7376 to speak with SERVPRO of North Mississauga. We're waiting to help you!
