No matter the time of day SERVPRO is always here to help!

SERVPRO of Southwest Portland received an after-hours call regarding a massive water loss in a local home of the Portland area. The homeowner alerted us that their basement was flooding and you could tell in their voice they were very frantic and agitated. Within an hour of the call ending, we sent our crew of well-trained professionals with the flood truck loaded up and ready to go. Our crew was told that the flood was caused by heavy rain.

Upon arrival, after going through the initial inspection our amazing crew chief came up with the most efficient drying plan in order to get the basement back to normal as soon as possible. The drying plan was to extract all of the standing water located in the basement and remove the base along with all saturated carpet and pad. Once removed, flood cuts will be needed for the affected walls in the basement. 

The flood in the basement was caused by the rain and the rain caused the window to well and to fill up then the water then entered through the window opening. Water was coming in at a very high rate until the homeowner was able to get back and from home depot and installed a sump pump in the well and pumped out the water.

Our crew brought in multiple dehumidifiers along with multiple air movers as we could fit into the basement in order to dry the basement as soon as possible.
