When flooding impacts your St. Louis property, multiple levels of the house can become affected, from the basement or crawlspace to the main floor. It is crucial to act immediately to begin the recovery timeline and mobilize skilled restoration and mitigation professionals to help limit the out-of-pocket expenses that could result. 

The Initial Inspection and Assessment 

Flood cleanup for St. Louis homes begins with understanding the situation entirely. Our Sansara team provides a thorough assessment and inspection of the property in hopes of gaining valuable insight for:

  • Content Claims 
  • Creating a focused restoration plan
  • Knowledge of materials to be removed or replaced
  • Documenting damage 
  • Establishing where containment and temporary construction are needed

Getting Rid of the Water

Removing flood water is different from your typical leak. Often, flooding comes with debris and solids suspended in the standing water that the pump must also remove. Using high-powered extractors with larger discharge hoses, we can overcome the solids and debris that could be present in the intruding floodwater.

Cleaning and Sanitizing 

Where there is flooding, there is a threat of contamination. We have to address every impacted and exposed surface with the same care and consideration of this possibility, making sanitizing and disinfection a critical component of our flood recovery services.

Repair Services for Your Home 

Controlled demolition plays a significant role in many homes’ overall flood recovery process. Removing contaminated or destroyed building materials speeds up drying and cleaning and provides a stable platform for reconstruction.

Our Sansara team can also help with long-term solutions through repairs and construction. From encapsulating your crawl space beneath the property to waterproofing your basement level, we know how to keep flood water out. We can work with you to create a stable solution to avoid costly recurrences of flood damage in the future.
