Ugh, Another Storm!

Are you having one of those weeks where it is storm, after storm, after storm? Are you feeling like a cartoon character bailing out your ship with a lone bucket?  Wet carpet and soaked walls can end up being more than just water damage caused by the storms if not immediately remediated.  Water soaked walls usually equates to water soaked insultation and possibly water soaked electrical outlets.  Wallboard up to the waterline should be removed, insulation dried or replaced, and electrical outlets dried and tested for system integrity.  If not cared for in this manner, the growth of mold is an almost guarantee.  Storms can cause untold carnage on your home, so act quickly so this secondary damage does not take hold.

Should your home be deluged with what seems like never-ending waterfalls, call SERVPRO of Fair Oaks-Centreville-Chantilly for immediate assistance.  We can be reached 24/7 on (703) 830-5800.
