Safety Is SERVPRO’s Priority with Flood Damage in Suffern Homes

Flood damage restoration in your Suffern home after a storm involves numerous potential safety hazards. SERVPRO takes safety concerns very seriously and addresses them properly before proceeding with emergency services and restoration work. 

SERVPRO techs adhere to the IICRC S500 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Water Damage Restoration during flood damage restoration in Suffern. Our techs ensure that occupants are informed of any potential safety issues during the project. Several variables like the type of building materials involved, sanitation of the water, and length of water exposure constitute potential risk factors. SERVPRO techs ensure that the property is thoroughly examined for hazard assessment before any restorative work begins.  

What is hazard assessment during flood restoration of your Suffern home?  

SERVPRO techs define a hazard as anything that may cause harm or pose a threat to life, health, property, or the environment. Our techs are trained to understand the type of hazards commonly found in a water-damaged environment. Some of the common safety concerns in flood-damaged Suffern properties include- 

• Ceilings filled with water that may collapse
• Water intruding into the electrical systems may cause electric shocks
• Floodwater after a storm is contaminated and may cause a potential health hazard 
• The trip, slip, and fall hazards due to wet floors 

Once the SERVPRO techs identify potential hazards, they initiate control measures to manage the risk. If possible, the techs work to eliminate the safety issue, modify the environment to reduce the exposure, or use protective equipment to protect the workers and occupants.
