With the amount of damage that can occur, SERVPRO of Ravenswood professionals are storm damage cleanup and restoration experts & should be called, as we have the knowledge, the tools and the ability to help you during this troubling time.
First thing is first when it comes to storms and floods. Safety first! Always protect you, your family, friends, and anybody who needs help. These can be tough times for all involved.
After the storm has cleared and it has been reported by the appropriate authorities that the conditions are once again safe, should you start your storm damage cleanup and restoration. Even though the storm has passed, mind your safety. Reports have shown that most injuries actually come after the storm during careless cleanup efforts.
When it comes to storm damage cleanup and restoration Edgewater, there are four steps to take. While SERVPRO of Ravenswood is able to make the entire experience much easier, the same four steps are always going to be utilized.
The first step is to clear away any brush or debris that may be dangerous or a threat to your home. Examine the outside area around your home or business and take note of any possible safety hazards. These may include; low hanging branches, debris, fallen trees, etc. Hire the appropriate help to eliminate most of the trees, branches, and shrubs that will need to be removed. This step is always advised first, as it can make cleanup and restoration of your home or business much easier.
The next step is to assess any damages to your home. Whether you can make the repairs to the damages yourself and not require SERVPRO of Ravenswood to do so, make sure that you are able to complete the project and have all the right tools. The last thing you want to do in a situation like this is to take on a project that will put you in danger.
Before moving into the home or business to examine the damages, be sure that the exterior of the house is sound. Make sure to check for any broken windows, if there is any roof or wall damage or if any debris have fallen and compromised the stability of your home or business. Our technicians can perform such duties should you choose not to do these tedious tasks yourself.
Once the outside has been examined, it’s time to move into your Edgewater home or business. Note any damages that may have occurred. One of the main things to pay attention to would be flooding. Most storms come with water damage and that water needs to go somewhere.
Once the yard house and inside of the house have been examined, it’s time to get to work. While a storm damage and restoration specialist SERVPRO of Ravenswood will help clean, repair and restore any damages, it is ultimately up to you and how you would like to proceed. Just be sure to plan ahead in case another storm is to come your way. Contact Donna at 773-878-5200 for a free consultation on creating an emergency contingency plan for your business or property.
