SERVPRO Remediates Flooding Whether it Comes in From the Roof or the Basement

With the winters seemingly getting worse with each passing season, Montrose homeowners often have little idea how much they are asking of their roofs. With more substantial snowfall mounting upon these areas of your home, the weight can warp and distort supports and weaken exterior protection to produce vulnerable areas.
 
With spring setting in around your home, rain showers take the place of the substantial snowfall you saw. It is this type of precipitation that is going to show you every compromised part of your roof after the winter, as it is going to allow this rainfall into your home. If the damage was enough, your home could be looking at flood damages in Montrose with some of the severe weather systems rolling through the area.
 
When your attic experiences flooding, you might not even realize it unless this is a finished part of your home. You start to see signs of the damage when it makes its way through the ceiling of the floors directly below the affected area. By this point, the damage is likely widespread, and your home is in serious need of professional restoration services like what our SERVPRO team can provide.
 
While our team works quickly to help prevent further damages, the best way that we know to do this is to block off the vulnerable areas of your roof that allowed exposure in the first place. Then we can set our sights on tasks like extraction, which can remove any pooled water from the area to help our SERVPRO professionals inspect structural components for damages.
 
In the cases where flooding has occurred without your immediate knowledge, you are often looking at the need for reconstruction of individual components like flooring and drywall. These areas require controlled demolition from our experienced technicians, which removes only the areas that are too damaged to get salvaged. This process prepares the area for reconstruction from a residential construction contractor to follow our restoration process.
 
You might not always be aware of an issue with your roof until it has turned into a traumatic situation. You can always trust SERVPRO of Montrose / Telluride to be there when you need us to help you clean up the mess and set things back to the way they used to be. You can reach our emergency response team anytime by calling (970) 240-6970.
