STORM Damages Are More Than Just a Rainstorm

In the Portland area, the weather can be unpredictable. We occasionally have different types of storms that can cause damage to residential homes, apartments, and business. 

A few tips to prepare for any types of storms such as high winds, flash flooding from rain, and thunderstorms. 

• Maintain any cracks or open holes on the exterior structure of your business or home. 
• Clean the gutters for any organic buildup (moss, dirt, etc).
• Have the roof maintained often and checked for any wear and tears. 
• Keep an eye out for large tree branches that can potentially fall on your home.

After a storm such as high winds, flash flooding from rain, or thunderstorms, has occurred and you experienced any damages to your property or business call SERVPRO of East Portland. SERVPRO is a nationwide fire and water restoration and cleanup company servicing the local community.
