We all love our sunny days here in Florida. On average, there are 241 days of sun per year in Bay County. But this time of year, the skies are about to open up and pour. The annual rainfall of 60.1 inches in Bay County, even wetter than most places in Florida. When the rainfall is gentle, the garden perks up and everyone is in a great mood. When storm damage occurs to your home or property, it is important to act quickly to have your home stabilized and restored.
Storms, hurricanes and flooding do far more damage than just soaking the carpet or ruining your upholstered furniture. Excess water can cause a range of problems such as rusting of building materials and corroding of electrical components. Of course you will have auxiliary damage to clothing, wallpaper, drapes, furniture, important documents, and other objects. Even if the problem does not seem severe, take it seriously. Water damage and mold can develop quickly. Even minor damage can worsen over time, causing later risks to your family and more serious damage to your home.
Wind is the most common cause of storm damage. It can destroy the exterior of the home: siding, roofing, windows. It can occur directly from the strong wind or indirectly from the wind blowing debris into your house. If roof shingles come loose, rain can infiltrate into the protective surface of the roof.
While you look for the damage on the exterior, search for interior water stains on ceilings and walls. If wind damage is severe enough, it can also threaten the structural stability of your home. It is very important to call a restoration professional after your home sustains severe structural damage for building stabilization and board up services. Stabilizing the building is an important first step in the storm damage restoration process for preventing any further damage.
