Common Storm Damage Issues
Heavy rains plus high winds combine to batter the exterior of your home. Well-constructed homes often survive the onslaught with few adverse effects, but circumstances like the following can happen and need addressing by our water damage specialists and rebuilding crews:
-
Leaking roofs after shingles and flashings blow off, or trees, branches, or power lines collapse atop a residence
-
Ripped-off siding and broken windows and doors due to wind and flying debris, allowing water incursion
-
Overland flash flooding across landscaping or pavements filling basements, foundations, and crawl spaces with highly-contaminated water
-
Waste backed up from overwhelmed municipal sanitary systems invading lower home living or storage levels
-
Soaked contents, including floor and window coverings, furniture, electronics, documents, clothing, and other personal property
Professional Storm Damage Interventions Needed
Experienced crew leads from AdvantaClean of York County and South Charlotte assess hazards created inside your home by the leaked water. Flood waters are Category 3, the most contaminated, threatening human health and welfare. Precautions include our workers wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) and the temporary evacuation of occupants during the storm cleanup. Once we scope the affected areas, we assign the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)-certified technicians to stop additional leaking and flooding and control potential building material collapse and secondary harm using use mitigation strategies such as:
-
Boarding and tarping up exterior damage
-
Creating weep or drain holes in ceilings and walls to release trapped fluids while avoiding structural collapse
-
Making flood cuts in drywall several inches above the water line to permit water outflow and open building cavities for effective structural drying
-
Placing of submersible pumps to remove water in basements, lower levels, and crawl spaces where water levels are higher than two inches
-
Using truck-mounted extractors and portable back-pack extractors in confined spaces to suction out and contain contaminated liquids for lawful disposal as hazardous waste
-
Considering pack-out assistance to remove, evaluate, and restore storm-damaged contents, with secure storage options until your home is cleaned, dried, and sanitized
-
Inspecting for any signs of mold growth and planning for appropriate remediation if microbial damage is evident
