As we witness an increase in severe weather events, including hurricanes and intense storms, the impact on homes and businesses can be devastating. From high winds and torrential rain to flooding and debris, the aftermath of these storms can leave properties vulnerable to extensive damage. At SERVPRO of Indianapolis East, we understand the challenges posed by storm damage and are committed to helping our community recover quickly and effectively.

Understanding Storm Damage

Storm damage can manifest in various ways, including:

• Wind Damage: High winds can cause roof damage, break windows, and uproot trees, which can lead to significant structural issues.
• Flooding: Heavy rains can overwhelm drainage systems, causing flooding in basements and low-lying areas.
• Water Intrusion: Storms can lead to leaks through damaged roofs and windows, allowing water to seep into homes and businesses.
• Debris Impact: Flying debris can cause additional physical damage to structures and vehicles.
