Leaky Roof Causes Major Damage

4/28/2017 (Permalink)

You’re about to climb into bed and you notice a small leak in the ceiling.  You put a bucket under it to catch the water.  It’s an exceptionally stormy winter night and the rain is pounding.  At 3 am, you wake from a loud crash and the sound of water rushing into your home.  You go into the living room and see a small waterfall!  It may seem like the end of the world at that moment.  What do you do?!  Don’t worry- SERVPRO of North Shasta is here to help! 

In this situation, we arrived on scene in under an hour!  Our certified technicians tarped off the roof right away to prevent the water from causing further damage.  Next, we removed the wet insulation; which can act as a sponge and soak up more water.  We removed the wet drywall and proceeded to contain the area so that it would not leak and damage the floors. 

Our customer was back in bed in just a few hours sleeping soundly; knowing that the situation was under control and that there would be no further damage and in the morning our SERVPRO of North Shasta Technicians would be back to finish the job!

We are on the job 24/7, 365 days of the year. Weather conditions may slow us down, but they will not stop us!  At SERVPRO of North Shasta we are always here to help.
