Hurricanes can wreak havoc on entire cities with high winds and heavy rain that leave a trail of catastrophic destruction behind. Here in Central Florida, we’re familiar with Mother Nature’s fury, and we’re well-versed in hurricane damage. Our experts at Steamatic of Central Florida have worked to rebuild and restore homes, and our emergency response team is ready to step in when disaster strikes.
Interior Damages
When a hurricane blows through, high winds can cause debris to break windows and rip exterior doors off their hinges. This can cause extensive damage to your flooring, furniture, and walls. In addition to flying debris, a broken window or door allows moisture to enter your home. When heavy rain permeates the interior of your structure, you’re left with a breeding ground for mold and mildew to grow.
Mold is one of the most common issues after a hurricane, and it can cause serious health problems when family members are exposed. To prevent mold from growing and spreading throughout your structure’s interior, it’s important to act quickly by removing water from the area with help from a professional restoration company.
Exterior Damages
Hurricanes can cause significant exterior damage to structures that have the unfortunate luck of being in their paths. We’ve seen everything from missing roofs to cracked foundations, which can force homeowners to relocate until repairs have been made.
Roof Damage
Roofs are built from materials that are incredibly durable and made to withstand high winds, heavy rain, and hail. Unfortunately, even the strongest roof is susceptible to the power of a hurricane, which can lead to missing shingles or damaged sheeting and framing. Our crews at Steamatic of Central Florida know how important your roof is to the integrity of your home, and we act quickly to make the necessary repairs so it’s ready for the next storm.
Foundation and Structural Damage
Structural issues should never be ignored — especially after a hurricane has blown through. If your foundation has cracks or the home has shifted, it’s important to call the experts for advice. In some cases, it’s necessary for homeowners to relocate until their home and foundation have been restored.
Utility and Equipment Damage
Your utilities, including your water, electricity, phone, and internet services, are all at risk of being disconnected after a hurricane. When high winds blow down power lines, the pros will need to address the issue before you’re connected again.
It’s also not uncommon for HVAC systems and other appliances to suffer hurricane damage. It’s especially frustrating when a generator is damaged and can no longer provide electricity when the power is out.
