Although water traveled under this carpet, we were able to successfully dry and save it from being removed!

There are many ways rainstorms can cause excessive damage to your home. It’s not only because of the great amount of water pouring down the sky but because of all the differenttypes of damages that come with it.

• Water: Due to the massive amount of water that pours down during a rainstorm, water could not only leak through your roof, but your house could be in risk of experiences a major flood due to all the sewers and plumbing systems being over flooded.
• Lightning: Not only water can cause damage, but lightning strikes too. If a lightning strikes your house, it could damage every electronic that was puggled into an outlet, and even cause an electric failure, resulting in a fire.
• Wind: The rapid and strong winds coming from a rainstorm can easily knock trees out, shatter windows and even cause damage to your roof and ceiling.
