Water Damage After A Storm

9/4/2019 (Permalink)

Our crews had to tarp a roof from a fallen tree after a severe storm hit Akron, Ohio.

A severe storm can produce large hail, severe wind and heavy rainfall and leave your home with water and structural damage. A tree branch that has fallen during a storm onto your roof can cause major damage. Not only to your roof, but rain can cause water damage to the inside. When the sun pops back out and the walls are drying nicely, or so you think, the moisture within is causing damage and overtime this can create a mold problem. When rain gets into your attic it can make its way into the walls or ceilings of your home. It doesn’t take long for mold to grow in dark and hidden areas. Moisture in the right environment can cause mold spores to start rapidly spreading within 48 hours, affecting air quality. To make sure that the water that has entered your home is completely gone it is relative to call a professional water restoration company to assess the damage.  Even if you believe you have soaked up the water, the area might still be wet underneath. Moisture detection equipment is imperative for hidden water in structural materials. Our SERVPRO of West Akron crews are equipped with moisture meters to detect where there is still moisture. We can identify all affected areas to prevent future damage. We will then place drying equipment to completely dry out your structure.
