Flood Damage and The Need For Restoration are Possible at Any Time of The Year For Bloomingdale Residences. 

Flooding is an unfortunate circumstance for area homes and businesses. These emergencies can occur at almost any point of the year. Preparing for what you should do when these disasters occur ensures that the appropriate restoration professionals can arrive to begin mitigation and restoration steps to protect the property and its contents from greater harm.

The Impact of Flooding on Area Homes 

Flood damage in Bloomingdale homes can be far-reaching, extending well beyond the penetration point of the property. Water moves fast through a property. This migration can be difficult to initially track amid the stress of intruding water. Standing water can destroy structural elements, and contaminants must also be addressed.

Types of Severe Weather Flooding 

In almost all seasons of the year, various types of flooding and water disasters can impact area homes and businesses:

• Flash Flooding – Surges and rapidly developing rushes of water can be highly destructive to a building’s envelope. The force of these disasters can expose vulnerabilities and allow water penetration.

• Roof Damage Flooding – Harsh weather, including devastating winds and torrential rainfall, can tear off or destroy aging shingles and roof materials. With vulnerabilities in the roof, water runoff can find its way into an attic quickly. 

• Natural Flooding –Naturally rising water bodies rise and spread as rainfall slowly makes its way to the designed outflow.

The Possibilities of Natural Disasters

Severe storms are possible in any season, though the threat can amplify during warmer weather conditions. When natural flooding occurs during already severe conditions like a hurricane, dozens of homes could be impacted simultaneously.
