Storm Damage Restoration Process

9/2/2020 (Permalink)

Violent weather such as storm damage can wreak havoc on buildings as well as vegetation.  Wind damage can be a hazard to the structure of a building, by loosening the shingles or tiles on the roof.  This can cause moisture such as rain and snow to infiltrate into the protective surfaces of the roof, which will result in the wood swelling and later on disintegration and mold growth.  This outcome will lead to a sagging ceiling and further problems.  Elements such as wind, rain, hail and lightning can result in turning people's lives upside down, which is why having SERVPRO of Vicksburg & Yazoo to help in this type of emergency is a good option. 

Here are some of the activities you can expect from the SERVPRO professionals.

Whether it is a business or residence SERVPRO of Vicksburg & Yazoo will come to your property and our trained experts will do a thorough examination of the interior and exterior of your building.  This will help us discover the level of the damage.  In many cases, SERVPRO will discuss the restoration with you and your insurance adjuster.

When everything is agreed upon, the work begins. Depending on what type of damage is present, this will determine the type of equipment that we will use.  In the case of flooding, we will use specialized pumps and vacuums to remove  water from the affected areas. 

Generators will be brought in to operate dehumidifiers and air movers so mold and mildew do not have a chance to make matters worse.
