ARE YOU PREPARED FOR A STORM?

8/27/2019 (Permalink)

At SERVPRO of Downtown Long Beach / Signal Hill, we recognize that your home or business may not be adequately built to handle storm damage. If you experience damage caused by wind or water in the event of a storm, we’re here to help!

Torrents of black water, sewage water containing bacteria, mold, and viruses, begin to devastate businesses by first permeating through the floors, walls, and ceiling. Here the water can infiltrate through coating breaks, between seams, and under baseboards. When exposed to this kind of water, complete removal and replacement of contaminated areas is recommended. If the edges of your floorboards begin to rise, they can often be sanded by our SERVPRO technicians. Unfortunately, if the floorboards experience extreme saturation on the top layer of wood, sanding is not an option and complete removal might be the best course of action. 

Strong winds can cause adjacent trees to become a hazard to your home or business. Did you know a single branch from a large tree could have enough weight to collapse a roof? As a result, runoff of torrential rains may begin to flow into your Long Beach home or business. In this situation, SERVPRO technicians can use penetrating moisture meters and special equipment to recommend the best course of action based on the amount of damage incurred.

If you find yourself in a situation too big to handle, call SERVPRO of Downtown Long Beach / Signal Hill for immediate and professional service at 562-591-1788.
