We Provide Efficient Flood Damage Repairs

The attic is a location commonly damaged by the heavy storms Jamaica Plain and Roxbury communities endure throughout the year. Despite the sturdy construction of even historic properties in the region, roofs are not impervious to damage. We are ready to respond to flood damages and necessary repairs after threatening disasters.

Evaluating the Damage

Before any flood damage repair in Roxbury homes can begin, SERVPRO providers must understand the scope of the damage and decide on an appropriate series of solutions. Damage evaluation is the most suitable approach. Assessment allows our experienced production manager to closely inspect impacted structural elements and the surrounding attic space to see where controlled demolition, repairs, and full reconstruction might be needed. Factors that influence repair decisions include:

• Contaminants
• Structural integrity loss
• Sagging materials
• Roof damages

Removing Contaminated Structure

Contamination is not always a concern with storm damage to the roof, but SERVPRO specialists must evaluate the entire affected area to see if these threats could exist. We take no chances with potentially contaminated materials, so these must be entirely removed from the underlying studs.

Drying Framework and Roof Supports

Repairs are often needed after flood damage exposure, but it is the preferred option when drying can solve issues. SERVPRO always seeks to restore versus replace materials so we can deploy air movers to the impacted spaces while other repairs are getting underway to see what building elements we can preserve.

Repairing the Roof

Structural vulnerabilities are another concern, as more and more water can continue to penetrate the attic space without a resolution. Our licensed contractors work to provide temporary board up to get restoration underway initially but are also capable of repairing the roof fully once the remediation of water damage and flood loss effects have been overcome.

Flood damage repairs are a common element of the recovery from these disasters, and our SERVPRO of Jamaica Plain / Roxbury team is trained and licensed to help. Call us after disasters strike at (617) 466-6909.
