Don’t Let Storms Like Debby Dampen Your Home

Tropical Storm Debby did more than just ruin weekend plans for a backyard barbeque or an afternoon at the pool. The storm, which dumped 12 inches of rain in Alachua County within four days, contributed to record-breaking amounts of rain for the month of June. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a flood watch for several counties in North Central Florida, including Alachua County, that extends to July 6. 

Hundreds of damages reports have been received for homes in the area, and residents and animals have been helped from flooded homes. Worn roofs have suffered beatings over the past few days and many of them will need help repairing leaking roofs and removing water damage that has accumulated over the past week. What should you do if you find yourself wading through standing water in your home?

Our experienced water remediation care team can remove the water that’s invaded your home and repair the damage standing water causes. It just isn’t enough to remove water that’s accumulated in your home; you’ll need to dry your walls, flooring, sub-floors and other materials quickly to prevent secondary damage such as mold growth and odor.
