Flooded Basement in Florence, Kentucky

Water damage in this home in Florence, Kentucky resulted when the sump pump failed. The finished basement was affected, saturating the carpet, padding, drywall and baseboards. When a home suffers a water damage event like this, many times mold can also become a problem. In as little as 48-72 hours a mold infestation can arise and spread throughout the property. To lessen the risk of mold, it is important to respond quickly to the water damage and begin the dry out process immediately. SERVPRO of Boone County acted quickly to begin the water restoration process. These photos show the basement before and after the work was completed. Our crews removed the wet, non-salvageable carpet, padding, and drywall. They set up and monitored multiple air movers and dehumidifiers. An anti-microbial agent was applied to the surfaces. This agent helps to prevent mold growth. And when dry out was complete, all equipment was removed, debris hauled away and the area was ready for structural repairs.
