Summer storms are raging and catastrophes may be happening to your home.  If such an unfortunte occurance happens, and rain is gushing in through your roof, call SERVPRO of Fair Oaks, Centreville, Chantilly on (703) 830-5800 for immediate assistance.  Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  

Although we are prepared to help you with storm related damage, not having to call us at all, is certainly a better scenario for you as a homeowner.  So, how do you keep Mother Nature from wreaking havoc on your home?  Well, sometimes it's just dumb luck that the tree falls one way, rather than another, but oftentimes preventive maintenance can prove extremely beneficial.  Walk around your property and make sure any large limbs that may be hanging over your house are trimmed, so that they will not fall on your roof, should they break because of strom winds or lightning strikes.  Are your trees healthy, or are they dying and the trucks beginning to rot?  If they are not healthy, have them removed.  Dead trees, like dead teeth, will eventually fall out and where a tree lands, may be very dangerous.  

Bottom line.....take care of your landscaping and trees, so that if Mother Nature does strike, you are in the best possible situation you can be in.  Don't take any changes with overhanging branches or  dead/dying trees, have them trimmed and/or removed to eliminate the possibility of them crashing on your home or worse yet, hitting you or your family.

If disaster does strike, call SERVPRO of Fair Oaks, Centreville, Chantilly today on (703) 830-5800.
