We used our anti microbial agent to prevent mold growth after tearing out the affected walls and flooring in this home after a flood.

Wind Damage Can Expose Plymouth Homes to Flooding

As a coastal community, our SERVPRO team has helped many Plymouth homes and businesses after the destructive hand of nature swept through the area. While hurricane-force weather events are not at all uncommon, including torrential downpours and damaging hailstorms, often, the most threatening presence during those storms is the fierce winds. Under the right circumstances, strong gusts of wind can remove shingles, damage eaves, break windows, uproot trees, and remove siding from a residence.

While our professionals can do little to calm the forces of nature amid a devastating storm, we can play an active role in reducing and recovering flood damage to Plymouth homes after them. Apart from the structural damage that high winds can cause to area homes, it can also leave the property vulnerable to direct runoff, further rainfall, and other precipitation concerns. Flooding after any structural vulnerabilities can be challenging to stop without the appropriate techniques.

We understand how fast flooding can get out of control, and that means we must work quickly to seal up vulnerable points in your home’s exterior. From tarping up damaged roofs to boarding up missing windows or removing fallen trees, we can ultimately reduce the direct flow of water into the house. What already exists when our SERVPRO professionals arrive must get removed with the use of our extraction tools like wet vacuums, light wands, and submersible pumps in more extreme cases.

Despite any flood damage that must get dried inside the property, while our technicians work on mitigation and restoration, our in-house residential contractors can begin preparing the property for the full-scale build back, and reconstruction needs it might have. The sooner that damaged roofing or siding can get replaced, the sooner these vulnerabilities no longer exist for continued flooding or microbial threats for the house.

Flooding is a standard threat for many homes in the area after severe storms pass through the region. Whether this damage occurs through structural vulnerabilities in your home or flash flooding forcing into your property, our SERVPRO of Plymouth / Wareham team can help. Give us a call anytime you need us at (508) 746-9500.
