What Are The Steps I Should Take After Storm Damage To My Attica Home?

12/22/2021 (Permalink)

Storm season is here for Attica residents, and as a savvy homeowner, you will want to be prepared for whatever comes. Preparation isn't just what you do before the storm comes, though; it's having everything ready for possible repairs and cleanup projects just in case, as well. Loss of power, debris, and flooding can all be part of the aftermath you face when the storm has moved on.

What Comes First In Recovering My Attica Home From Storm Damage? 

First and foremost, you will want to manage anything unsafe. 

• There may be fallen branches or fences that have come down that will need to be taken care of. Ensure that you don't operate machinery used in these areas while on your own, and wear personal protective equipment while operating any machinery or tools. Take note of anyone nearby, and be aware of your surroundings while you are working. If you have even the slightest uncertainty about clearing storm damage, contact a professional storm damage restoration company for help.
• If you have experienced flooding and there is standing water in your home, keep people clear of this area. If it can be done safely, shut off the electricity in that part of the home, but be sure not to walk through standing water when electricity is engaged. It will be vital to get standing water removed as soon as possible to avoid contamination and mold. A professional cleanup company like SERVPRO can be onsite right away to handle storm damage.
• If you have tree damage to your home or property, always make sure there are no power lines down nearby before you start any cleanup. If there are, wait until utility crews can remove them before beginning your cleanup.
• You should have the overall structure of your home professionally assessed if you have experienced storm damage. These SERVPRO will check power sources, whether the house is leaning or if wiring is exposed, and other unsafe conditions.
