Our local St. Clair Shores team has the training, equipment, and experience to restore flood damage quickly and efficiently in Eastpointe. Floodwaters can carry a dangerous mix of bacteria, viruses, and hazardous chemicals, posing severe health risks to residents.

Floodwaters often come into contact with sewage systems, animal waste, and agricultural runoff, picking up harmful pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Hepatitis A. These microorganisms can cause various illnesses, from gastrointestinal infections to severe respiratory conditions. Additionally, floodwaters can transport toxic chemicals from industrial sites and household hazardous waste, further compounding the health risks.

Contaminated floodwaters can infiltrate homes, soaking into carpets, walls, and furniture. This damages these items and creates a breeding ground for mold. Given the severe risks associated with floodwater contamination, seeking help from a professional restoration company, like ours, that has the expertise and equipment to safely remove contaminated water, thoroughly dry affected areas, and disinfect the environment.

We ensure that all health hazards are addressed, providing residents peace of mind and a safe living space. In the aftermath of a flood, relying on our team of professionals for remediation is the best way to protect your home and health.
