Flood Cleanup Services Start with Effective Mitigation
This Norfolk County community has been home to families for generations, dating back to its first recorded settlement in 1638. As part of the Greater Boston area, Brookline has connections to the historical significance of the metropolitan area through events like The American Revolution. Brookline is most known for being the birthplace of John F. Kennedy and even has a location for those to visit that has been protected as an entry with the National Register of Historic Places. Similarly, the community is home to other culturally and historically significant locations like the two stops of the Underground Railroad at 9 Toxteth Street and 182 Walnut Street.
When disasters strike, flood damage to Brookline properties can be substantial. This water surge can be irreparably destructive to cultural centers throughout the municipality, like the Larz Anderson Auto Museum, the Longyear Museum, or the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum. However, even shops and storefronts benefit from the swift response of SERVPRO professionals after these emergencies, such as the dozens of boutiques and retail locations within The Shops of Putterham or The Shops of Chestnut Hill.
Removing Water After Flooding
Flood damage can be devastating, especially when its presence can impact hundreds. Locations like the Pine Manor College or the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology house thousands of students throughout a semester, so it is essential for responding professionals to address standing water and contaminant concerns fast with our tools like:
- Vacuums
- Weighted Extractors
- Dehumidifiers
- Pumps
- Air Movers
Flooding is more common than many homeowners and property managers might think. When severe weather events occur, lower-lying portions of Brookline become susceptible to the rising water of creeks and streams to impact structures.
