Have Changes in Landscape Caused Flooding to Your Telluride Home?

Should the Cornet Creek overflow its banks into your home, call SERVPRO. We are equipped to handle flood damage and always on call.

Changes in the Landscape can cause Unprecedented Flooding in Your Telluride Neighborhood. 

Current floodplain maps often do not take all construction and other changes in the topography affecting Telluride into consideration. Homeowners who never experienced flooding might, especially if more recent construction causes additional changes in the ground, rainwater, and melting snow can overtake yards and, in some places, enter houses.

Because SERVPRO knows disasters happen without warning in Telluride, including flood damage, We're Faster To Any Size Disaster. A swift response by skilled professionals means your house and other property receive the mitigation work needed to restore things for your family.

An unseen threat due to the size of each one comes from the microbial population that washes in on floodwaters. Because these pathogens can cause different health effects, we disinfect all surfaces. This initial spraying also prevents possible cross-contamination caused by our initial cleaning efforts.

Many things inside your home respond sufficiently to our general cleaning and drying methods. SERVPRO works as quickly as possible to make things safely usable again, as well as to reveal any permanent damage. Different components in your home react differently and require other techniques to return your home to its pre-damaged state. Our Green Fleet stays stocked with all the equipment and supplies we need to get the work done quickly.

Some tools are small, like our cutting instruments. We use these to remove damaged materials like drywall and carpet. We cut these from their installation site and package them for easy removal. We only precisely remove what we need to, and never more than necessary. Before installing new materials, we use air movers to create powerful air currents that move the moisture inside damp but undamaged materials toward their surfaces and eventually into the air.

We also bring two other machines that dry the air and also remove microscopic particles from it. Dehumidifiers pull air inside and then release it after stripping water vapor away. At the same time, air scrubbers do a similar task – extract microbes, dust, pollen, and anything else that dirties up the air.

SERVPRO of Montrose / Telluride is always ready to help residents in Delta and Gunnison recover rapidly after a disaster. Call our 24-hour line, (970) 240-6970, so we can help you and your family restore safe conditions in your home.
