Storm Water Removal From a Camarillo Attic

Weather-related water damage is one of the most common reasons homeowners have to file an insurance claim for their property. Interior and exterior damages from wind, rain, ice, hail, and snow take up a combined 51% of claims in the United States per year, making these types of damages among the most frequent and costly. Fortunately, there is a team that is available to help you cut costs and minimize property loss.

If your Camarillo home requires attic storm water removal, IICRC-certified SERVPRO technicians are prepared to restore this integral part of your home to its preloss condition. These professionals provide fast-action extraction and cleanup services, as well as detailed documentation and invoicing, to aid you in the claims filing process after a disaster. If you require further reconstruction on your property, your local SERVPRO is licensed to provide general contracting services (#892710).

Spotting Storm Damage Without Getting On Your Roof

?    Storm damages you can see on the ground include asphalt shingle granules or pieces in your yard, clogged or leaky gutters, and exterior property damage.
?    Storm damage signs you can find in the home include visible water damage on fixtures, walls, and ceiling, water accumulation and staining in the attic, as well as water-saturated attic framing. Wet insulation is another indicator.
?    A professional roofer may look for damage to layers under the shingles. The underlayment, which provides a temporary barrier against some storm damages, is also examined. The decking that acts as the foundation of your roof can also be evaluated by a professional. Roofers also tend to look at gutters and check around chimneys for loose or missing flashing.

SERVPRO's Attic Cleanup Process
Attic cleanup can involve many different factors besides drying the wooden supports. Wet fiberglass insulation can often be cleaned, dried, and restored, but cellulose or cotton are porous organic materials that require removal to prevent the spread of mold.

If you store documents in your attic and they have been affected by rainwater, technicians can minimize damage using sublimation--that is, freezing and then drying the papers--to prevent further warping of paper of staining of spreading ink.
