Structural materials are some of the most commonly affected surfaces after storm-related damages in Sandy Springs homes. Whether the source is flooding, window leaks, or roof-related damages, these damages can affect a property's drywall, electrical components, insulation, and other essential components, depending on the damage's location and extent. An inch of floodwater alone can cause as much as $25,000 in damages to a property. Professional storm damage restoration seeks to address the source of these damages, and prompt service can help minimize potential repair expenses.

Storm Damage Goes Beyond the Surface

Storm-related damage can do more than leave home with saturated drywall or flooring. In fact, much of the damage can happen under the surface of these materials, impacting wall studs, ceiling joists, and subfloors, causing them to swell from moisture, which can warp or otherwise damage the material. Fiberglass insulation in walls and ceilings may necessitate replacement, as extensive moisture exposure and potential contaminants from floodwater can compromise its integrity. Electrical systems are also commonly impacted by flooding or storms, which may require preparations for repairs to outlets and wiring. 

Strategies for Minimizing Structural Damage from Storms

Homeowners can use multiple strategies to pre-empt potential storm damage, which often include typical maintenance tasks. These can be as simple as reapplying window sealants, cleaning gutters, and having the roof inspected for damaged shingles and flashing. Elevating electrical components above typical flood depths can also minimize potential issues with outlets and wiring. However, despite precautions, disasters can still occur that necessitate quick action. When this happens, AdvantaClean is ready to heed the call.
