Marlborough Nursing Home and Flooding

The storm dumped muddy, contaminated water in a wing of this commercial structure in Marlborough. Immediate action was needed to not only mitigate structural damage but also to ensure the well-being of the residents. If SERVPRO is called in an assessment of the damage and the removal of the standing water are the first orders of business. Stringent protocols as dictated by the EPA and OSHA apply to this type of commercial enterprise. Careful removal of the floor material to not cross-contaminate other areas of the wing is needed. The After Photo illustrates a cleaned corridor area that has been effectively disinfected and sanitized. The baseboards were removed to access and treat any hidden moisture within the wall cavities. For difficult and biohazard situations, SERVPRO is often called in to mitigate the damage.
