Having all of these professionals available and ready 24/7 can offer customers a fast and confident response during their crisis.

How Fast Can Restoration Professionals Arrive to Storm Damages?
Storm damages can leave your home vulnerable to flooding and other hazards, making a fast response from restoration technicians vital. The sooner that emergency services like roof tarping or board up services can occur, then less wind-driven rain or runoff that can enter the home unabated. A fast response when disasters strike begins at our SERVPRO facility with:

Stocked Trailers
Staying ahead of emergencies is not always a simple task. We have an advantage when handling flood and water loss situations, however, as we keep production vehicles stocked with an assortment of extraction and drying equipment ranging from our electric submersible pumps to our centrifugal and axial air movers for effective evaporative drying.

Experienced Professionals
With seasoned restoration technicians on our roster, we can make sure that all of the crew mobilizes quickly with the right tools. Rolling out fast is one of the priorities of our restoration team, and we entrust our most experienced experts to spearhead this process.

24/7 Staffed Emergency Line
Having someone answer your call when you have a flood in the middle of the night can ensure that the right information gets relayed to the team. From our administrators regulating incoming details to the experienced technicians preparing for flood recovery, everyone stays on the same page to ensure jobs begin efficiently.

Can Emergency Responders Deal with Wind Damage?
Wind can be a very damaging element to fierce storm systems moving through the area. With so many properties susceptible to the extreme weather conditions of the region throughout the year, we equipped our responding technicians with the knowledge to manage wind damages along with the secondary effects that can result from breaches wind can cause, such as:

    •    Missing Siding
    •    Damaged Roofs
    •    Broken Windows
    •    Other Structural Concerns

Emergency services cater to these immediate structural breaches by tarping over the roof to prevent rain penetration or sealing over structural holes made by torn off siding, broken windows, or fallen trees. We have in-house contractors that can work alongside our restoration technicians on the mitigation that your property needs after wind, rain, and flood damage.

What Are the Hazards of Flooding from the Roof?
Wind damage, along with torrential rains, can lead to substantial flood damage in the attic space and floors below. Understanding what to expect in these situations can showcase the importance of reaching out to our experienced SERVPRO professionals as quickly as possible. Some of the hazards and potential damages that could result from water penetrating a damaged roof include:

Structural Weakness
From the underlayment material beneath the shingles on your roof to the unfinished wood surfaces throughout your attic, penetrating water from the roof can have a damaging effect on many exposed materials. The longer that flooring and wall systems remain exposed to standing water or high moisture contents, the farther water damage can migrate and damage other structural elements.

Sagging Ceiling
Once water damage from standing floodwater in your attic space persists for more than a short time, water can migrate through the floor cavities into the ceiling materials. Saturation of ceiling materials can inevitably cause these structural elements to sag under the new weight. Any sagging structural element is highly indicative of deterioration and damage.

Mold and Microbial Growth
One of the situations that our SERVPRO team hopes to avoid with a prompt response to a flood and storm-damaged home is reducing the possibility of mold. Spores exist in every environment naturally, but when moist conditions persist for more than 48 hours, it can present the ideal conditions for mold colonization.

From the damage that a storm can do to the results inside your home with flooding, we have a comprehensive restoration and reconstruction approach that can dispatch the right experts to your door right when you need them.
