Flood Cuts

If your home or business has suffered from water damage call SERVPRO of Spencer & iowa Great Lakes 712-262-4379.

A wall that has been contaminated by sewage should not be salvaged because the materials may contain harmful pathogens or bacteria. When this happens our team of professionals will perform a flood cut.

This process involves the cutting and removal of a section of drywall. Flood cuts are approximately 12-18 inches above wherever the water touches. This will prevent any moisture behind your walls from causing mold. Once the section of drywall has been removed, it provides a better opportunity for drying out framing and other wood components that are hidden. The faster moisture can be removed the less chance for secondary damage. 

SERVPRO of Spencer & Iowa Great Lakes has an on hand reconstruction crew with over 50 years of combined experience in drywall, trim/finish work, and painting to help make the process seamless.
