What to Do After Storm Damage - Dartmouth 02747

8/5/2020 (Permalink)

When storms make their way across our hometown, the only thing we can do is prepare and hope for the best. 

When storms wreak havoc on your property, you can immediately feel helpless and vulnerable. Anything from downed electrical wires to trees falling over can pose a major threat to the integrity of your home or commercial building. 

Storm damage can be one of the most dangerous and unpredictable attacks a property owner faces because the damage itself can create an unstable environment. This is why you need an experienced restoration company such as SERVPRO of Dartmouth / New Bedford to bring stability to a shaky scene.

Here are a few things to consider after the storm has passed:

1. Assess the integrity of your property. Specifically, is it safe for you to be there? Check for signs of damage in your home or around your property. 
2. Make sure to keep clear of damaged buildings, power lines, and trees as these can be dangerous.
3. If you’re driving, beware of road hazards such as flooded areas, damaged roads, bridges, and debris. 
4. Storms are at best, scary, but at their worst, they are unpredictable and dangerous. Make sure to stay safe and away from any secondary storm damage

We understand the threats your home or property faces each time a storm comes through town. We’re also trained on how to handle them. SERVPRO of Dartmouth / New Bedford is here to help you pick up the pieces after a storm and help restore your property after storm damage.
