SERVPRO Techs Have a Scientific Approach to Mitigate Flood Damage in Olathe
Containing microbial growth after flood damage to your Olathe home is one of the biggest challenges for restorers like SERVPRO. While the application of antimicrobials can undoubtedly help, it is not an effective method when used alone.
SERVPRO techs limit the microbial growth after flood damage to your Olathe home by speeding up the drying process and removing the contaminated material. Antimicrobials are applied only once these two steps are done. This multifaceted strategy ensures that the microbial population is contained and there is a minimal risk of the microbes returning after the professionals finish the restoration.
SERVPRO Techs Use Professional Products During Flood Restoration in Olathe
SERVPRO techs apply antimicrobial products after the initial water extraction to control microbes in your Olathe home. We take utmost care while using these products to prevent any undesired effects for workers.
We only use EPA-registered broad-spectrum disinfectants to prevent the growth of various microbes, including bacteria and fungi, after flood damage to your property due to a storm. Once the drying goal is reached, the product is usually applied to the subfloor, tackles strip, walls, and wall bottom plates. SERVPRO techs use several classes of chemical disinfectants, including:
- Phenolics
- Chlorines
- Quaternary compounds, and
- Botanicals
What Precautions do SERVPRO Techs Take While Applying Antimicrobials?
SERVPRO techs always conform with applicable federal, state, and local regulations and laws when using chemical disinfectants. Our professionals always wear personal protective equipment when dealing with disinfecting chemicals. We also brief the customer about the product used following the IICRC S500 guidelines. The disinfectant is applied only after obtaining the customer’s informed consent of product use.
