The severe storm earlier today flooded many homes in the area and water is now flowing into your ranch style house. Our certified team can return your home to its pre-storm state when possible, so contact us right away. Responding fast can result in our techs saving your property from significant damage and may spare many of your belongings. We are storm damage specialists, which means you can rely on us to have the experience to make your home look “Like it never even happened.”  

When our SERVPRO flood damage team in Oakland arrives at your front door, you can expect them to be ready to get to work right away. First, they assess the damage, and if there are broken windows or doors or holes in the roof, the crew can use tarps or plastic sheeting to cover and seal those entry points. Also, the team stops the flow of water streaming into your home so they can begin the extraction phase. They may use pumps, truck-mounted or portable extractors and wands to remove moisture from the affected areas quickly. Extracting water fast can help reduce damages to your carpeting, flooring, and walls as well as to the structure of your home.  

If a move-out is necessary, our techs can organize and conduct a pack-out of your belongings and contents in the home. Doing this can help protect your items from further damage during the restoration period. When the job is complete, our crew can work with you to organize and coordinate the move-in according to your needs. The move-in services that we provide may depend on your insurance coverage.  

Our techs can also dry the structure by employing industrial air scrubbers that purify the atmosphere inside the home. Plus, air movers, heaters and axial fans can be put in place to help dry specific areas such as flooring, carpeting and from behind walls and floorboards. The team may also use dehumidifiers to push out moisture that can help speed up drying. `
