Storm damage to your home can be devastating, but SERVPRO of Upland/San Antonio Heights is here to make it "Like it never even happened".

A mop and common household cleaning products may not be enough for black water intrusions. Your local SERVPRO franchise professional is trained to safely clean and restore your home, utilizing the following procedures.

1. Identify the source/type of water

2. Measure temperature and humidity for drying analysis

3. Survey the extent of damage and inspect the premises

4. Perform emergency water extraction

5. Move and block furniture

6. Provide floor service

7. Inspect carpet pad/carpet and provide service

8. Apply necessary treatments (disinfectants, deodorization)

9. Utilize drying equipment and monitor drying

10. Disposing of all trash

Any water damage in your home is bad. Especially when the water contains potentially harmful bacteria that can affect the health of your family and the value of your home. Toilet overflow, sewage backups, storms, and other black water intrusions are more than nasty, smelly messes; these bio hazardous damages also introduce harmful microorganisms into your home, as well as the moisture necessary to support their growth.
