When storm damage restoration for frozen pipes are needed, SERVPROs team of IICRC certified technicians are the ones to call.

Storm damage in the winter months can be costly for Garner homeowners if not managed quickly.

Storms can create hazardous and harmful situations for property owners and house occupants. Understanding the impact that severe weather events can have ensures you have the appropriate restoration professionals available and mobilizing when disasters strike. We help with solutions for relative damages like:

• Flooding
• Structural damage
• Water damage
• Mold growth

Tree Damage to Properties

Harsh winds, rainfall, and recent ice storms can lead to a need for storm damage restoration in Garner homes. One of the most direct ways a property can be damaged is by breaking off limbs and uprooting trees on a property that falls into garages, sheds, or the main residential structure itself. We have both experienced restoration professionals to manage subsequent water intrusion and a general contractor license to handle repairs necessary after fallen trees.

Ice Damming and Heavy Accumulation

Another way that flooding can impact your property is after events like ice damming. When ice forms along the eaves of your roof, melting snow cannot escape to the gutter system and is forced underneath the shingles and into the attic space. Our technicians must assess both the structural damage in these situations as well as the needed drying and extraction tools to overcome the flooding.

Frozen Pipes from Outages

As the area has seen in recent years, the damage that ice can do is overwhelming to properties. Not only can a small volume of adhered ice take down trees and collapse roofs, but it can also take down power lines. With many homes in the area now relying on electric heat, cold conditions can lead to secondary effects that compromise your property, like frozen pipes. Bursts require fast water removal and drying solutions.

When storms and flooding overcome your property, our SERVPRO of East Raleigh / Zebulon team is there fast to help. We have a 24/7 response to disasters. Give us a call now at (919) 250-0455.
