The Four Seasons of SERVPRO

9/19/2018 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Easton, Bethlehem & Whitehall is located in the beautiful State of Pennsylvania.  Here we are lucky enough to enjoy all four seasons.  But with each season comes difficulties for home and business owners.  In the Lehigh Valley we are prone to Snow Storms and Thunder Storms which each provide their own sets of challenges.

Winter often brings power outages from wind, downed trees, or ice which can cause pipes to freeze and split which causes flooding to homes and businesses.  Ice dams are also a concern when constant thawing and re-freezing causes water to creep into to a buildings roof and go un-noticed.  The water may keep coming in until the snow or ice is removed from a roof.

Spring, Summer, and Fall are the worst when it comes to storm seasons.  From Tornado season to Hurricane season, SERVPRO of Easton, Bethlehem & Whitehall is always on alert when it comes to storms.  Wind that causes roofing and siding to blow off a building often open up the structure for rain to come in affecting the home with water damage.  High winds also leave the potential for trees to come down on structures and cause significant damage throughout the structure when it is open to the elements.  Lightning strikes leave a potential for a fire which is rare, but does happen. The most common issue we see from storm damages would be from the flooding.  Most issues are a result of an abundance of high flood levels.  Keep in mind the fact that even with a sump pump, there is a chance that they may not always work.  For example a power outage during a heavy rain storm where a sump pump may not work without a backup in place.  And last but not least would be sewage backups in homes during times of heavy rain or flooding.  This is a serious matter which we see all too often and most people are unsure where to even begin.

Please do not WAIT until it's too LATE!  Usually weeks after storms may have passed and water damage has gone un-noticed in a home or business, we receive calls to come out and estimate Mold Remediations.

Above all, make your safety top priority. 

Remember to call the brand that you know and trust to take care of any storm damage that you may have suffered.
