Water Restoration for Storm-Damaged Everett Homes

SERVPRO mitigates storm damage by temporarily covering with a blue tarp. Then we can dry the interior of this Everett house.

Restoring Water-Damaged Structural Systems

Everett homes are constructed of multiple materials, many of which are at least partially porous. After a severe storm event, structural systems with sensitive components become impacted. Our experienced and licensed general contracting crew can repair and recover these areas of the house to make restoration efficient.

Where Is the Storm Damage?

Water restoration for Everett homes after storm losses can mean closely evaluating the house’s condition. No area can be missed when cleaning up the puddling, as persistent moisture can lead to hazardous conditions like mold development. Some of the structural assemblies and systems that can be damaged by storms, flooding, and water disasters include:

• Exterior Wall Systems – Gutter overflows, and poor drainage can see Everett homes get water in lower levels of the house. Extraction and drying are critical in these conditions.
  
• Roof Assemblies – Storms can impact the roof with water penetration vulnerabilities. Holes or compromise to the roof and its underlayment material give a clear path for water runoff and driven rain to find the attic. We can help with cleanup and repairs.
• Flooring – Losses, where water can pool on the flooring surfaces, can lead to carpeting or wood plank options absorbing the moisture. Effective cleanup involves special extractors and drying mats to preserve the floors.

Thorough Drying for Damaged Systems

While repairs can play an important part in the recovery process, we have many tools and focuses addressing the water effects. The saturation of structural components in wall and ceiling systems can be addressed with focused blasts from centrifugal air movers and effectively placed dehumidification units.

Restoration after storm damage can often mean repairs of the structural systems impacted. Our skilled professionals can assess the damage and return home to its expected structural integrity. Call SERVPRO of Everett / Lake Stevens / Monroe at (360) 243-8313.
