7/18/2023 (Permalink)

Living in Nashville means you get access to a fantastic music scene and vibrant city, but unfortunately you are probably also aware of the sudden storm risks in the area. It is always a hassle to have a tree fall down near, or worse, on your home, or have rough winds bring power outages and rainfall cause flooding. None of these situations are welcome, but if they do occur, know that SERVPRO Belle Meade/West Nashville will be on the scene as soon as possible to begin cleaning and restoration. Keep reading to learn more about storm-proofing your home, and the restoration process in case you do experience damage!

How To Storm-Proof Your Home

• Windows are usually the most vulnerable spots of your home, so you want to protect them. Storm shutters or impact resistant windows are investments that could save you money in the long run. 
• Don’t forget to also reinforce your front door! A double door can always give an extra layer of protection from the elements. 
• Maintain clean gutters and downspouts. Broken or overfilled gutters can cause damage to your home if severe rain and wind are in the mix. With no cleared path to flow through, water coming off your roof may be rerouted into your home. 

Restoring Your Home After Storm Damage With SERVPRO

Sometimes, even the most forethought and caution can’t prevent a disaster from happening during a severe storm. Looking at your home after storm damage can be stressful and emotional, but trust that SERVPRO experts will be on the scene shortly to begin the restoration process. At SERVPRO we work on a restore vs. replace approach, ensuring that anything that can be salvaged and is structurally sound will be. This approach will save you money in the long run. 

• Our water damage restoration technician and applied structural drying technicians will assess the damage done and create a recovery plan. Since storms can often leave your home vulnerable with broken windows, we will board up and place tarps on the necessary areas. 
• The first order of business will be water removal and extraction, to avoid secondary water damage and mold growth. 
• Next, we will begin the drying and dehumidification process. Specialized SERVPRO equipment will remove water from harder to reach areas. 
• Cleaning, sanitizing and restoration are part of the final steps of repairing your home and getting it back to normal again. When our job is done, it will be “like it never even happened.”
