Storm Damage to a Home!

Severe weather storms can cause destruction to your home or commercial property in an instant.  It can be overwhelming when disaster strikes, creating an unhealthy home or business for your family, employees, and customers.  At SERVPRO of Southwest Dallas, we understand that and have helped many property owners recovery as quickly as possible.

After the storm passes, most want to access any damage as quickly as possible.  But it is essential to stay safe.  Be careful of any hazards like broken glass, fallen limbs, standing water, downed powerlines, etc.  Follow any instructions that are given to the community by the police, fire, and utility companies. If there is the smell of gas, shut the main gas line off and open windows and doors.  Stay outside until help arrives. 

Next check for any structural damage to your property.  Look for leaks, holes in the roof, missing shingles, cracked or broken tile, dents, and ding in gutters, vents or flashing, cracks in brick, damage to the siding of your home.  Take a look at the windows and doors to ensure that there were no leaks or damage due to flying debris.  Make sure that outdoor appliances like air conditioners, grills are in good working order.  If you have a basement, see if the sump pump is working and there is no water in the basement.

If the event that there is damage to the exterior of your property that may allow water, pest, etc. into your home or business, call SERVPRO of Southwest Dallas for board up service.  We are available to you for emergency service 24/7, including holidays.
