SERVPRO Offers Partial and Full Move Out Services When You Have Flood Damage Lurking in Your Olathe Basement 

Flooding in a basement is a common issue that many homeowners face at one time or another. Even a smaller-scale flood can present with high-level damages, so calling in SERVPRO to help is the best way to get results. We can be at your Olathe property in as little as a few hours after receiving your call to begin the assessment and restoration phases. 

Why is a Move Out necessary? 

When you have flood damage in Olathe from a storm where water infiltrates your basement, it is often necessary to pack up and move out items so that our crew can get to work. We always carefully inspect and inventory all belongings we pack up to have a detailed listing of what items get moved where. 

SERVPRO works to manage the job so that you have the most cost-efficient results. For example: 

• We often clean contents before moving them to a staging area, which may reduce the time and cost needed for the project.
• We identify any items that are unsalvageable because of floodwater. All articles, even if disposed of, get logged for your records. 

What Type of Damage Might Be Present? 

There are several ways that floodwater may impact your interior, including: 

• Overloading of your waterproofing system
• Damage to your foundation
• Potential mold and mildew growth 

Floodwater contains a variety of contaminants, including chemical runoff, pests, and sewage. Our technicians treat the area with EPA-registered agents and biocide solutions that help inhibit microbial proliferation. 

We are available 24 hours a day to assist you with flood damage. Call SERVPRO of Olathe/Lenexa and SERVPRO of Blue Valley at (913) 782-4693 to send a team out to get to work promptly.
