Even the Smallest Flood Waters Can Cause the Biggest Problems | SERVPRO® of Prattville

No matter how big or small the water damage, SERVPRO of Prattville is here to help!

It has been storming all night long. You have slept like a baby listening to the calming rain and rumbling thunder. You stretch out on your bed, open your eyes, and look up at your ceiling to see multiple wet patches, some with water dripping onto your floor! The storm from the previous night caused damage to your roof, and it is leaking. What are you supposed to do now? You recall SERVPRO mentioning “When Disaster Strikes,” but what does that mean?   

Disaster means “a sudden event, such as an accident or natural catastrophe, which causes great damage or loss of life.” Waking up to water trickling from the ceiling onto the floor is not the worst thing in the world, but it can be stressful! Here at SERVPRO, we are always prepared to clean and repair a disaster - no matter how big or small it may be.  

Any time a storm makes its way into your area, dangerous conditions can develop that could cause damage to your home or business. Excessive rain can saturate materials on your home and deteriorate shingles. Fierce wind can blow debris, knocking through your walls or roof. Even the smallest hole in your structure can cause rainwater to seep into interior walls and cause flood damage. Saturated materials can lose their structural integrity if they are not dried out quickly. Even worse, microbial growth thrives in dark, wet atmospheres and grows in as little as 48 hours. This can be hazardous to your health.   

If a storm causes damage to your home or business, make a call to the professionals. All SERVPRO employees are trained to correctly access and respond to water damage, preventing any further damage or microbial growth. When disaster strikes, call SERVPRO of Prattville so we can make it “Like it never even happened.”
