If a tree falls on your home during a storm, gallons of water can be let in leaving you in need of water removal and flood damage restoration.

SERVPRO of Rocky Hill / Sequoyah Hills / South Knoxville is Here to Help Restore Your Home after Flood Damage

Unfortunately, when a severe storm rolls into town, it is possible that it can bring flood damage with it. Storms can bring aggressive winds and intense rain with them. In fact, it is not uncommon for high-speed winds to knock over weaker trees. The young tree in your front yard can easily smash a window if it is uprooted and thrown against your home. That broken window can allow gallons of water into your home while the storm happens. When these kinds of situations occur, it is comforting to know there is professional help close to your home.

A storm can leave several inches of damaging flood waters in your Rocky Hill home. Water removal of this degree is not a job that any ordinary homeowner should have to tackle alone. Storms can easily carry dangerous toxins in their waters by tearing up sewage pipes and chemical containers. When storm damage brings black water with them, the cleanup process should be left to professionals as it is unsafe.
