Spring storms may be the most common season for a storm to arrive, but summer storms bring some unique insights. While peak monsoon season typically lasts from July until September, thunderstorms with heavy rains can affect your Nashville home or business at any time of the year. With the flooding and water damage from heavy flooding, immediate action is critical to ensuring timely and safe mitigation. Don’t know who to call? SERVPRO of Belle Meade and West Nashville is the storm damage experts! Read on to find out what makes summer storms different from spring storms and how our highly-trained team can help YOU with any of your storm damage calamities this summer. 

Tempest Takeaways: What Should You Know About Summer Storms And How Are They Different From Spring Storms?

• Spring storms are characterized by variability. Temperatures swing back and forth like a pendulum between frigid in the morning and balmy later in the day. These changes in temperature, humidity, and moisture in the environment can lead to stormy weather. 
• On the other hand, summer storms are characterized by storm types. Does your area experience lightning and hail or flash floods and tornadoes? By knowing the difference between a weather watch and a weather warning for these storms, you can be better prepared for the unpredictable!
• Keep your windows closed during a summer storm! Unnecessary heat usually comes through curtains, blinds, and shades. 

How Does SERVPRO Come In The Picture When You Need Storm Damage Restoration?

• While we are a locally owned and operated company working at the heart of Music City, we have access to resources of over 1,960 SERVPRO franchises across the US and Canada. 
• Moisture is the source of many storms, right? Not a problem for us! We have advanced tools and technology like sensitive moisture detectors and hygrometers to measure moisture saturation. Additionally, we use infrared cameras to identify storm damage that may not be seen at first take. 
• We provide a CCIS, AKA, Contents Claim Inventory Service, which displays a detailed and accurate list of all your belongings. We take the preloss list and value of contents to create an up-to-date report, settling insurance claims more efficiently. 

Excessive moisture is often the lowest common denominator for natural disasters. It is the root cause of mold and a reason for thunderstorms as well (along with the rapid rise of warm air). Because of these factors, thunderstorms happen more frequently in the spring and summer, especially with high humidity levels in the air.
