Flooding In Chambersburg PA

One of the high tech moisture meter's we use to detect water.

This week SERVPRO of Chambersburg has been performing several water restorations due to the heavy rain causing basements to flood. Although a home may have never had water due to rain before does not mean it's not possible. Some homes we have provided services to never had a ground water intrusion for 20+ years. 

What is a typical process when your home is affected by weather and causes water to intrude your home? 

Any water that enters the home from outside water, such as rain is considered contaminated water and all pours material is has make contact with should be removed and hard surfaces should be cleaned. 

Why? Because the contaminates in the soils outside are unknowned. Is there chemicals, animal feces, fertilizer that can be contaminating the water. 

Call SERVPRO if you experience any water intrusion to your home!
