Storm Damage Restoration

A big storm hits, and now you are dealing with the need for home damage restoration. It goes without saying that if your house is damaged in a storm and the outside elements are coming in, you need to turn to a professional to get your house back in shape. There is no time to waste either, the first 24 hours following a water loss are the most important in preventing secondary or permanent damage.
Cleaning up Debris
One of the first steps in home damage restoration is to clean up the damaged elements of the building. This includes pulling down broken roofs and pulling out damaged windows. This is not the easiest process to do during the cold winter months, but it is something that requires immediate attention so that you can get into the home and start fixing the problems. SERVPRO of Vancouver/ Clark County cleanup crews can help to make the process easier to manage.
Reducing Mold Risks
Water, including water in its frozen state of ice and snow, is very problematic for the home. If you've been involved in an incident in which there is a significant build-up of snow or ice on the roof of the house, this puts a great deal of pressure on the structure. If the structure cracks and the roof falls that water is now in your home and could potentially lead to mold growth. The problem is, you can’t wait until spring to fix these types of problems. They need immediate attention which SERVPRO of Vancouver/Clark County can provide.
Rebuilding Fast
Once the problems are taken care of, it is just as important to get your house back into livable condition again. This may mean adding drywall, roofing, windows, and other components damaged by the storm.
Home damage restoration is one of the most important steps you can take in reclaiming your house after a storm. Have a professional handle the process for you quickly.
