Rain, Roofs, and Restoration

8/5/2021 (Permalink)

New England is known for its rapidly changing weather. The rain has been heavy, especially this summer. Heavy rain storms can cause issues for your home and business, especially if your structure isn’t properly maintained.

Your roof is the first defense against most weather. Make sure you frequently check for loose shingles or soft spots. A crack in your roof can let rain water in, causing further damage to your ceilings and your walls. Your gutters and downspouts being dirty can affect your foundation. Clogging and overflow can direct water towards your foundation, causing cracks and shifting. These cracks allow water into your home.

Water damages can be really costly. And if your insurance determines that it was due to lack of preventive maintenance, they might not cover the costs. In the event of a flooding or rain emergency SERVPRO of Dartmouth/New Bedford is here to help. We can walk you through the restoration process and are available 24/7 for water and storm damage emergencies.
