If you discover damage in your residence, call SERVPRO of Sioux Falls right away.
Our homes can be damaged in a lot of different ways—strong storms, a fire, aging to the structure or even just the neighborhood ball game that gets out of control and sends a ball flying through your window.
Even though there may be a lot of ways your home can be damaged, you can’t spend all of your time thinking about them. Instead, you can get your home prepared so that even an unexpected storm blowing through only leaves you with minimal damage.
In order to prepare, you need to understand your risks. Getting to know the specific threats to your home can also help you better understand how easy restoration after a disaster can be. With SERVPRO of Sioux Falls right around the corner, your restoration won’t just be easy, it will also be fast and smooth.
Sioux Falls has seen its share of severe weather in all seasons. During spring and summer, strong thunderstorms and tornadoes are some of our biggest risks, and in the winter, heavy snow and ice can cause issues. Year-round, flooding is possible, with an increased risk as snow begins to melt.
Even with a variety of risks, there are three main kinds of ways that homes are commonly damaged. Water, fire and roof damage happen to homes around the nation on almost a daily basis.
All three of these kinds of damage can come from a multitude of sources. Water damage might be from the heavy snow load pushing down on your roof, or it could be from a plumbing failure inside your home. Your roof is not only vulnerable from snow load and rain storms, it can also be damaged by the loose limb you didn’t realize was up in the tree. Our risk of wildfires can be fairly high in warmer months, but fires most often start from man made errors inside the home.
Dealing with a disaster can be incredibly traumatic, but as you begin to see the compounding damage that has been done, it can be easy to get really overwhelmed. One kind of damage will lead to another, leaving you needing a multi-step recovery.
Flooding not only leaves everything wet, but it also sets up a great environment for mold to spread rapidly and put your foundation at risk. A fire can cause total destruction where the flames were, but it can also affect rooms far away with smoke and soot damage. The water used to put out the fire creates another layer of damage too.
Whether your disaster was from Mother Nature or started due to a manmade problem, SERVPRO® is ready to handle every part of your restoration. We will assess your unique needs and create a plan that will put everything back together one step at a time.
SERVPRO has the tools and equipment to handle water, wind, fire, mold and construction. Whatever you need, we’ve got it covered.
If your home has flooding in the basement or a leak in the roof, our first task will be drying everything up. We will also make sure there are no lingering odors, and handle remediating any mold that sets up. Our crew will address structural issues throughout the process as well, and we can even replace roof beams if needed. Finally, your home will be sanitized and well-sealed in order to prevent future mold growth.
The process will be largely the same when a fire strikes, as we tackle the part of your house that is most damaged first. Sealing off your home from the elements will be high on the list as we get started to prevent any other damage, as will be drying out any water left behind from the firefighting efforts. If your home was too damaged to repair, we can tear it down and rebuild it.
Not only do we handle every step of your recovery process, but SERVPRO will also work directly with your insurance company and coordinate any additional contractors needed. Our goal is to do everything possible to make your process fast and smooth. With 24⁄7 availability and industry-leading tools, we can put your home back together quickly.
