Wind Gusts and Heavy Rain Cause Storm Damage in Lancaster!

1/17/2024 (Permalink)

Lancaster has suffered several major storms in the past couple months.  During each of these storm events, SERVPRO of Lancaster East and Southern Lancaster County received dozens of calls to help restore storm-damaged properties.  With severe rainfall and wind gusts up to 50 mph, many were left with flooding or structural damage.  Downed trees, power lines and water rescues were other hazardous factors that came into play.  We would like to thank our local first responders for their efforts during these emergencies!

From sewage backups to busted pipes, our team was on standby to provide storm damage restoration services immediately for the many properties affected.  While this process generally remains the same as we utilize our IICRC guidelines, each situation has its own issues and demands.  Once the water mitigation of the affected areas is complete, we clean and disinfect those same areas with our anti-microbial and anti-fungal cleaning treatments.  We also provide more vigorous cleaning options for sewage and other biohazard events, including a hospital-grade disinfectant.

Our advanced air movers help get the job done when it comes to drying a structure, while our Reconstruction Department can handle the next steps of restoring damaged drywall, insulation, trim, flooring and more!  Our tarping and board up services are also only a call away when a tree comes down on your property. 

When it comes to storms, we don’t take the damage lightly.  SERVPRO of Lancaster East and Southern Lancaster County is always prepared for the worst so that we can respond as soon as a disaster occurs!
