SERVPRO Storm Damage Cleanup Offers Fast-Acting Debris and Water Removal

Water damage from weather-related complications does not require severe weather to occur. All it takes is a bit of roof damage, leaky windows, or clogged gutters to turn a normal rainy day into a soaking wet mess in a homeowner’s living room. Worse still, this moisture can allow mold growth to perpetuate in as little as 24 to 48 hours.

Storm damage cleanup performed by Olean SERVPRO technicians can mitigate weather-related disasters quickly and safely. This crew can also address microbial growth resulting from moisture exposure, preventing it from causing health effects.

SERVPRO Storm Water Removal Saves Homes

SERVPRO build-back services and temporary measures to address storm-related water damage include:

• Roof tarping
• Board-ups
• Temporary fencing
• Temporary warehouse space for home contents
• Portable power sources

Regardless of the water damage source, these measures prevent further damage and allow technicians to continue their work even when power outages occur.

Suppose a ceiling leak from a storm occurs in an Olean living room. In that case, SERVPRO techs can tarp the roof, carefully cut out waterlogged sheetrock, and extract moisture from ceiling joists and carpeting below with portable extraction units. Techs can pull up the carpet to check the subfloor beneath and dry it with air movers and dehumidifiers, if necessary.

SERVPRO mitigates microbial growth during the process with careful application of EPA-registered, OSHA-approved biocides, which can also lessen odors from water damage. Techs can install new drywall and re-seam carpet after mitigation.
