SERVPRO of Brunswick removing mud from within drywall after historic Omaha Flood in 2019

SERVPRO of Brunswick is a part of the Disaster Recovery Team that was dispatched out to Omaha, Nebraska after the snowmelt and flooding occurred in early March of 2019. This historic flood has broken the record of the last major flooding along the Missouri River back in 2011.

Our teams made the long trek from Brunswick, Georgia to Omaha, Nebraska to help business owners and homeowners recover and restore after flood damage. Unlike most of South Georgia, the Midwest had large basements that took majority of the impact from the flood. Basements were filled with 4-5 feet of water and thick mud throughout. Carpets were saturated and water drenched the walls to the point the baseboards were removing themselves.

SERVPRO of Brunswick began immediate water extraction and setting up drying equipment to preserve the home. Whichever materials where unable to dry were then removed from the home to ensure the property was not at risk of mold growth. When flooding like this occurs we look for any contaminated water that may be unsafe to be in your home (sump pump failure), and any trapped moisture that could cause mold growth. After a water damage or flooding event mold can spread throughout the home in 48 to 72 hours. As apart of the Disaster Response Team’ SERVPRO of Brunswick was able to respond quickly to each request for service!
