Water Damage Intrusion During a Storm

5/27/2019 (Permalink)

Did you know that there are two types of water damage?

Water damage does not only enter your home through one area. Water can enter your home through two different ways --the top and the bottom. 

One of the ways that water can come in from the top is through your roof shingles not being secure or from stopped up gutters. This is why so many home specialists recommend cleaning your gutters out. 

From the bottom of your property, groundwater can enter through garages and basements, and usually is not covered by your insurance. This kind of damage is a result of the flood or storm water and needs to be cleaned up, even if it is not covered. SERVPRO® of Madison, Rockcastle, Garrard, & Lincoln Counties offers financing for this reason. 

Water damage needs to be cleaned up as soon as it is discovered. Once mold damage begins to spread the spores can be transferred when being dried with home fans and wet vacs.
