SERVPRO of El Cajon specializes in disaster recovery and offers comprehensive services to help communities and businesses recover after a hurricane. Here’s how we assist with hurricane cleanup:

1. Water Damage Restoration

• Assessment & Inspection: We assess the extent of water damage, including flooding from rain and storm surges.
• Water Extraction: Using industrial pumps and vacuums, we remove standing water from homes and buildings.
• Drying & Dehumidification: Once the water is removed, we use powerful drying equipment to remove moisture from walls, floors, and furniture to prevent mold growth.
• Restoration of Damaged Areas: We help with repairing and restoring structures, including drywall, flooring, and electrical systems affected by water.

2. Storm Damage Repair

• Board-Up & Tarping Services: After a hurricane, buildings often have broken windows, doors, or roofs. We secure these areas to prevent further damage.
• Debris Removal: We help with removing fallen trees, broken structures, and other storm debris.

3. Mold Remediation

• Hurricanes bring excessive moisture, which can lead to mold growth. We conduct mold inspections and provide remediation services to remove mold and prevent further spread.

4. Fire Damage Restoration

• Hurricanes can sometimes cause fires due to electrical malfunctions or gas leaks. SERVPRO of El Cajon provides fire damage restoration services, including soot removal, smoke odor treatment, and structural repairs.

5. Contents Restoration

• Cleaning & Sanitizing: We can clean and restore personal belongings such as furniture, clothing, and important documents damaged during the storm.
• Specialty Cleaning: We also provide services like air duct cleaning and carpet cleaning to remove contaminants brought in by floodwater.

6. Insurance Assistance

• We often work directly with insurance companies to help expedite claims, providing detailed damage assessments and cost estimates for repairs.
