Sustained Rainfall Increases the Risk of Flood Damage for Minnetonka Residents

Long periods of rainfall can cause groundwater levels to rise. When groundwater reaches an equilibrium with the surface level, it can cause standing water issues in your property. Dealing with floodwaters is a tricky task that can put your safety at risk. Since floodwaters can rise rapidly, you must prioritize your safety first by getting to higher ground. Once the risk of further flooding reduces, you may want to perform secondary mitigation tasks at the property. These mitigating tasks may include shutting off water, power, and gas to prevent further harm to your already weakened property.

A home with flood damage in Minnetonka needs urgent attention. Our team of round the clock technicians can help to limit the losses and expenses to your home. In some cases, the sheer weight of the water can result in floors collapsing or warping of walls and hallways. Emergency services SERVPRO provides include the rapid removal of standing water from the property.

Removing standing water should be taken on as soon as possible. Using electric submersible pumps, powered by SERVPRO portable generators, our technicians can pump water from inside the home along a drainage pipe and into a nearby sewer point. Where flooding affects an entire residential district or sewage lines, we can bring in truck-mounted storage tanks to load with the water pumping out of your property. These tanks can hold between 80 and 100 gallons of water before they require emptying.

It is quite likely that there are going to be significant losses during flood damage recovery. Many items common to a home environment can take on so much moisture that they are beyond saving. You can communicate to SERVPRO technicians about specific valuables in the home, which can then undergo individual restoration assessments. Some specialized cleaning methods may be possible to restore sentimental items to their pre-flooding condition.

Flooding issues affect both the structure and possessions in your home. Contact SERVPRO of Minnetonka at (952) 473-4837 for emergency assistance.
