Emergency Services to Limit Further Flooding in Charlotte Homes
As home and business owners have seen in recent years, our area can see some of the harshest weather events that can make landfall from the Atlantic. With thousands of businesses and homes in the city and its surrounding neighborhoods, a prompt response after a devastating storm loss situation is vital to protecting your property as much as possible. With years of experience, a combination of our technicians and licensed general contractors can work to provide vital emergency services and mitigation.
Flood damage to Charlotte homes after a damaging storm might be unavoidable, but how severe these effects become hinges on the response of our technicians and the actions they take once we arrive. Our general contractors, for example, are vital to sealing up penetration points to prevent further runoff or newly developing storms from entering the household through vulnerabilities in the roof, siding, or other structural elements.
These same professionals might have to conduct tree removal as well when larger limbs or full trees have fallen into the structure. A direct impact from a massive tree limb or the trunk can collapse a roof or cause substantial structural damage in other ways. This situation can lead to floodwater entering the property unabated. Roof tarping and board up services can reduce direct water flow and wind-driven losses.
Much like our general contractors have vital steps to take when flooding is occurring, our restoration technicians must also get started on recovery as quickly as possible. We arrive with helpful mitigation tools like powerful extractors and pumps to reduce standing water in the affected areas. Once surface water gets addressed, our direct evaporative equipment like air movers can work to address saturated materials to minimize the need for reconstruction in your house.
Reducing the out of pocket expenses for our customers after a flood might mean the way we can navigate the needs of your insurance provider, but also hinges on the fast response and emergency services that we can provide immediately following a storm loss. No matter how we can help, you can reach our SERVPRO of North Central Mecklenburg County team 24/7 at (704) 596-9700.
