SUMMARY:
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene on September 26-27, SERVPRO of Largo was activated by the city to address several buildings that were flooded and damaged during the storm. The buildings damaged included Fire Station 46, Beach Police Substation, Lifeguard Tower 0, Beach Marina Building, and various other structures. SERVPRO is on our response contractor recommendation list from the city’s insurance carriers/broker.
Work performed by SERVPRO varied depending on the damage to each building but included cleaning, removal of debris/water, removal of carpet, flooring and drywall up to 24 in. above water line, dehumidification to mitigate mold growth as well as sanitization, environmental testing, and non-substantial reconstruction. Once the EOR inspected city buildings, SERVPRO was called in to demo any non-cementitious walls that received flooding and to begin the cleaning and dehumidification process.
Insurance recovery is anticipated for costs in excess of the deductibles.
