SERVPRO provides flood remediation after snow or freezing events in Everett

Storms that pour rain and snow down onto Everett can create dangerous situations to quickly arise. Rain can cause flooding, and snow, if dense enough, can cause a white-out along with structural damage. While at home, white-outs are only interesting, but if you are out driving, it is best to pull as far over to the right on the roadway and leave your hazard lights flashing.

How to Protect Your Everett Home from Freezing Storms and Roof Leaks

Everett storm damage needs professional restoration and cleanup

Dense, heavy snow can create serious problems for your roof, and the best defense is to ensure that your attic’s insulation is correctly installed. This can control the temperature transferences and reduce the risk of ice dams. This insulation does not make the roof stronger but it makes water, ice, and snow less capable of forcing their way into your home.

After a severe storm passes, concerned homeowners might want to check the following:

• The interior of their attic for leaks, particularly between sections of underlay,
• Frozen pipes, especially for those that have sections running along exterior walls, and
• Exterior areas that might have suffered wind damage.

These checks should not take long and doing so can prevent costly future problems.
