A lot can go wrong during a heavy down pour and high winds. Flooded basements, leaky roofs, and flooded crawlspaces are all likely situations after a storm. SERVPRO of Rockingham and Augusta Counties has the experience to handle any type of water damage that can affect your home or business. If a tree falls on your roof, our team will quickly respond to tarp it up, extract the water, remediate the damage, and even put it back together! Because we have a reconstruction division, SERVPRO of Rockingham and Augusta Counties is a one-stop shop after a storm blows through.

Unfortunately, basements are susceptible to flooding every time a strong storm hits. The intrusion of rain water is mostly from backyards flooding and sewer systems backing up. This water can damage walls and floors, destroy carpeting, ruin furniture, and lead to the possibility of mold. SERVPRO of Rockingham and Augusta Counties has over 7 years experience cleaning up water damages after storms have hit. We understand the necessary steps it takes to properly extract the water and dry out the affected areas before mold creeps in.

If you live in the northern section of the country you may have experienced an ice storm.  Although beautiful to the eye the resulting damage is usually catastrophic.  The weight of the ice downs power lines and everything freezes in the absence of heat. If you are at risk...have a back up plan.
