Types of Damages Left in a Largo Property by Water Damage

Your Largo house might be facing disaster if a storm is imminent. There are numerous ways storms destroy homes, from subjecting them to extreme winds and lightning to water running down roof beams onto the walls. Wind can hurl heavy debris around, causing significant roof damage. The wind can also be strong enough to lift and rip roof shingles, causing your roof to leak. These leaks can result in significant water damage inside your home, leaving you with substantial damages to repair.

One of the main ways to limit moisture damage is executing rapid water damage restoration in Largo homes. This involves removing water from the house, thus preventing secondary issues such as mold from developing and spreading. Microbial growth often begins within 48 hours of water exposure. Mold can be inhibited by rapidly extracting the water from the affected areas. We remove standing water with extraction equipment like wet/dry vacuum, deep extraction tools, and submersible pumps, increasing the chance of saving your belongings and structural components. SERVPRO® responds quickly to assess the damage, make a restoration plan, and assist with the cleanup and repair processes.

Common property damages from a storm

? Structural and foundation damage

? Damage to utilities

? Equipment and furniture damage

? Insect infestations

Different equipment in your home is vulnerable to flood exposure, including the power surges that storms often bring. Hot-water boilers, air-conditioning systems, computer equipment, and telephone systems in your home can also be damaged by storms. Moisture build-up creates an attractive environment for insects and other pests, worsening the likely damage to structural elements.

Essential steps that help save belongings

? Thoroughly inspecting house contents

? Creating a staging area to hold equipment

? Pack outs to save vulnerable contents   

Taking definitive steps to save content can limit a flooding incident's impact on your property.
