Nor'easter Storms Can Ruin an Amherst House

The rip in the roof from the fierce winds allowed rainwater to soak the attic crawl and weigh down the insulation and sheetrock ceiling until it collapsed in this Amherst den. SERVPRO, if called to clean up and restore this type of storm damage, follows a specific protocol of inspecting to secure a non-hazardous condition is established. This may mean cutting off electric, water sources, finding hidden debris, and preventing further intrusions of water and wind. Upon inspection and scoping of the required services a CCIS Contents Claim Inventory Service can identify salvageable and non-salvageable belongings and building materials. Insurance adjusters are pleased with this aid, as is the homeowner, in preparation of the paperwork. Team members can carefully remove and discard all ruined elements, vacate any standing water, and then proceed to dry out the interior of the affected rooms.
