Structural Storm Damage That Can Flood Patchogue Homes

2/16/2022 (Permalink)

Storm flooding can quickly cause water damage. Contact SERVPRO for water removal and remediation services.

Post-storm Damage Flooding Must be Resolved Immediately in Patchogue properties. 

Emergency services should begin as soon as possible when your home experiences flood damage. Some of the initial efforts our experienced SERVPRO team provide include:

• Extraction
• Board-up
• Tarping

Flash Flood Infiltration

Severe storm damage to Patchogue homes and businesses can sometimes result in flash flood conditions that overwhelm structures. From direct penetration in the foundation area to water pouring in the main level, flash floods are highly destructive and powerful forces of nature that require immediate mitigation.

Roof Damage and Water Penetration

There are many ways the roof can become damaged during storms. From hail and wind to blizzard conditions that leave aging roofs dealing with the weight of more than a foot of snow, it does not take months to expose vulnerabilities in this aspect of your home’s exterior.

Tree Trunk and Limb Damage 

Harsh weather can directly impact aspects of your property, such as trees. Ice storms can dramatically weigh down branches and limbs in the winter, which ultimately causes these portions of the tree to break and damage your property. Trees can puncture the roof or remove siding, both of which can allow direct floodwater entry to the home.

Flood Restoration and Water Removal

Regardless of how water damage resulted in your home, it is vital to get medication and services started as soon as possible. As leading water restoration professionals for the area, we have extensive extraction equipment to manage pooling water on the surface. The faster that flood water can get extracted, including any threats of solids or debris, the better protection for exposed surfaces like porous carpeting and hardwood floor.

With multiple reasons that your home or business may become flooded after storm damage, responding technicians must be prepared for several scenarios. Depending on the threat to your property, including the pressing need for flood mitigation, our SERVPRO of Patchogue team is ready to help with a variety of industry-leading equipment.
