How Do I Know if I Need Flood Restoration After a Storm Hits Kentucky?

When a storm causes flooding in your home, calling the certified technicians at SERVPRO is your best recourse. We are standing by 24/7.

SERVPRO is Available 24/7 for Water Damage Restoration in Our Territory

Anyone who lives in Kentucky knows that thunderstorms can come in fast and furious in the summer. It could be nice and sunny for most of the day, and then suddenly, a fierce storm can strike your neighborhood. Rainstorms often bring with them high-speed winds and sometimes even hail or grapple. This combination of negative weather occurrences could create a situation where your structure gets breached. 

During flood damage restoration, our SERVPRO technicians often find that a branch or a rock that blew from the wind gets thrown into your house and breaks a window or part of your roof. Once the inside of your structure gets exposed to the elements, more issues could take place. For example, if it is still raining heavily after one of your windows breaks, moisture can leak in from the hole and damage your building materials and contents.

If items inside your house ever get wet after a storm, our SERVPRO can help you by providing the following services:

• Emergency Services after Water Damage
• Leaking Roof from Storms
• Ceiling Repairs from Water Damages
• Flood Restoration
• Water Removal Services
• Water Clean Up

Since rainwater comes from the outdoors, there is a chance it is contaminated, so we classify it as a category two water damage, and we take extra steps to get rid of contaminants. If any of your carpets or other porous materials got wet, we can remove them and then spray antibacterial disinfectants on your non-porous building materials like floorboards and wall studs.

If water ever comes into your house after a branch shatters one of your windows, call SERVPRO of Breckinridge, Grayson, Meade and Hancock Counties.
