Flooded Basement in Advance, NC

This home in Advance NC developed numerous pipe leaks as the copper pipes deteriorated over time.  When the homeowner went to service her HVAC air handler she discovered that her basement had flooded with 20" of water.  SERVPRO of Davie and Yadkin Counties was called in to clean and dry the home.  Water that flows across the soil in your crawlspace is grossly contaminated and is treated with the same standard as raw sewage (called Category Three Water by the Institute for Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, IICRC).  This water originated in an unfinished area of the crawlspace and flowed into the basement HVAC room.  The finished basement HVAC room had to be cleaned and sanitized of the contaminants Both the basement and the adjacent crawlspace were dried out "Like it never even happened."
