Gorman properties receive rapid storm damage mitigation from SERVPRO. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Rely on SERVPRO When a Storm Leaves Your Home Damaged

Recently, mother nature has proven that she can be a little cruel sometimes. Giant storms have been occurring more often to the point where nobody is 100% safe. All of the most devastating types of storms including hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms bring with them high wind speeds and lots of rain.

Once the bad weather passes, it is a good idea to have the pros inspect your home for any damage. SERVPRO has years of experience with flood damage in Gorman. Sometimes the damage caused by a storm is noticed even inside the house. Other times mother nature's wrath can damage your roof or exterior of your house, and you may not realize it until it has caused extensive damage to the interior of your home.

A common cause of damage in a storm is when the area gets flooded, and water starts to leak into the house. Alternatively, a branch could blow into your house and poke a hole in your wall or roof right in the middle of a torrential downpour of rain. Once an excessive amount of water gets inside your home, the damage must be quickly mitigated before the water causes more problems in the house.

Our Green Fleet can respond swiftly to extract any remaining groundwater and then begin the cleanup and restoration service. Flood water is a category three Black Water alert. Our crew members don PPE personal protective equipment during the initial actions.

Depending on the severity of the damage, extracting the water and stopping the source may not be enough. Our certified technicians use moisture sensors to see how wet the drywall or wood in the area got. If moisture levels are still too high after all of the water has been extracted, the next phase is drying. Our mitigation team uses air movers and dehumidifiers in the area of damage to dry out the wood and carpet before any mold has a chance to grow.

As long as storm damage is assessed by professionals promptly and the water extraction and drying are complete, we can minimize the demolition if needed. Contact us at SERVPRO of North Durham at (919) 467-0880 for 24/7 assistance.
