Although flood damage can be troublesome to deal with, it is not impossible to remediate.

Flooding Can Impact Fort Walton Beach Homes in a Variety of Ways and Severely Affect Their Livability.

Located on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Fort Walton Beach is prone to suffering the yearly effects of passing hurricanes and tropical storms.  When these powerful weather systems pass, ravaged homes are usually left in their wake.

Flood damage in Fort Walton Beach homes comes in numerous forms. These range from the purely cosmetic to effects that severely undermine a home’s structural integrity. While performing remediations, SERVPRO technicians have encountered the following types of flood-related damage:
    •    Foul odors resulting from floodwater contaminants
    •    Mold and mildew discolorations and stains
    •    Disintegrating drywall and plaster
    •    Warping and buckling of structural elements like floors, walls, and ceilings
    •    Wood destroying dry rot that renders homes unsafe to live in

The sooner these forms of flood impact are identified and treated, the more easily they can be effectively resolved. This is why you must contact a good local cleanup and restoration company, like SERVPRO, as soon as possible after a flood.
