Storm damage repair in Brookline--SERVPRO can do it! "Like it never even happened."

Storms Can Require Water Damage Repair

Storms are a likely scenario for Brookline homes and businesses. While buildings get constructed to withstand the severe weather the area experiences, sometimes damages place your attic at risk of flood damage and structural weakening. Our fast response can put experienced SERVPRO professionals at your doorstep to begin the property assessment and the earliest mitigation solutions.

Board Up Services 

One of the first steps of water damage repair for your Brookline attic is sealing vulnerabilities the storm created. We are experts with board-up and tarping services, preventing further water from getting into the attic and protecting the structural assembly of the roof from continued exposure to moisture. Sealing and tarping can also allow drying and restoration to begin despite the repairs not being fully complete. 

Securing the Structural Integrity 

We assess the condition of the attic and its structural integrity. Board-up services and tarping might keep the water out, but a roof that could collapse after substantial storm damage needs more than a tarp to cover penetration points. We install structural supports and shoring to stabilize the work area until full repairs get completed.

Repairing the Roof 

The needed roof repairs will vary based on the storm's impact. High winds can remove shingles or drop trees on the roof, making larger repair areas. The roof components must be evaluated individually for their salvageability and need for replacement. This structural assembly can get divided into three main categories:

• Trusses
• Underlayment Materials
• Building Envelope

After a storm, your home can benefit from several water damage repairs. We prioritize securing and stabilizing threatened spaces in the house, like the attic, to keep further water and flood damage from destroying more.
