Flood Damage to a Bedroom in Lindenhurst

The groundwater did not drain away from the foundation and flooded this bathroom in Lindenhurst. The water is considered a category 3 contaminated water and must be dealt with as biohazardous material. SERVPRO techs can don some protective equipment like goggles, boots, and nitrile gloves when disposing of this black water. The covers for the baseboard heating have been removed to ensure complete drying without the danger of rusting. The engineered floor slats were removed and discarded; the plywood subfloor was dried and treated with a biocide. Our goal was to preserve as much as possible from the flood-damaged room but ensuring it was safe for habitation. Count on your local SERVPRO to keep you high and dry.
