SERVPRO Knows What to Look for Inside and Out of Your Syracuse Home When You Suspect Flood Damage 

Regardless of the time of the year, storms are something you cannot avoid. When a storm hits the Syracuse area, and you are worried that you have taken on water damage, it is best to get a trained technicians' insight. SERVPRO knows that storms can bring on a range of damage, both inside and outside of your property. 

For What Should I Look? 

To see if you have flood damage in Syracuse, you need to look in several areas. Take the time to inspect your exterior for: 

• Wind Damage –this often happens when the storm brings winds at 45mph and up. Signs of wind damage will include damaged or missing shingles and debris that have fallen around your property.
• Miscellaneous Damage –you may also have falling gutters, dents in your siding, or big washouts around your house that could point to water damage on your home's interior.

On the inside of your home, flood damage to look for includes: 

• Water stains on your floors or walls
• Saturated insulation
• Water seeping from your crawlspace or attic
• Cracks in your skylights, and more 

Should you start to notice any of these signs of water infiltration or damage, our trained crew here at SERVPRO is available. We can make sure that no water is left to fester long enough to create the perfect atmosphere for the onset of mold and mildew. Our powerful extraction equipment pulls up any standing water, and the combination of air movers and dehumidifiers help to bring your interior relative humidity back to normal levels. Once we are on the job, we make everything inside your home seem, "Like it never even happened."
