Storm Damages Occur in All Shapes and Sizes

5/22/2020 (Permalink)

Storm damages can come in all shapes in sizes: from wind, rain, water, hail, or other damages. 

Your home can also suffer when rainfall causes water to flow into your home and flood your property. Houses close to the ongoing construction of buildings, roadways, or other structures can experience sudden and unexpected flooding. Any changes in the ground surrounding your home can send floodwater directly into your property and quickly overtake your house. 

Floodwater that travels overland might not contain as many microbes as water from a stream or lake, but we still consider this water as highly contaminated. Mitigation of flooding from outside sources must address the contamination deposited in the house. 

Floors require special care and mitigation so their damage remains manageable, and this requires the removal of many types of flooring and fast drying out of the underlying structure. Replacing ruined carpet or other flooring types can only happen once we complete the task of drying the floor.  

Removal of lower sections of the wall makes it possible to air out the entire home from the influx of water. Throughout your property, we use moisture meters to ensure complete and consistent drying occurs. When we are complete we will make your storm damages, "Like it never even happened."
