Heavy winds and rainfall brought down a tree in Williamston, SC. Unfortunately it landed on the roof of this home. Luckily no occupants were injured and they acted fast! They called our office right away and we had crews working to remove the tree, and cover the roof to prevent any further damage to the home as rain continues to fall. We're ready to help 24/7 anywhere you need us!

After a large storm in our area we received a call from a homeowner who stated a tree had fallen on her home. After inspecting the home we began to piece the story together. The homeowner was looking out her window when the tree fell on an in-law addition separate from her home. The addition shares just one wall with the primary residence. The fallen tree removed the power service wires, not allowing the power company to restore her service. It also collapsed a portion of the roof and several supporting beams. A major reconstruction process will be necessary for this job and we plan to document all stages. 

A summer storm created a major problem for this Irmo, SC home. Heavy rain and strong wind gusts loosened the ground and allowed this tree to fall directly on the home. Thankfully, nobody in the home was injured during the process! After the tree punctured the home rain water began to collect in the second level, leaving the homeowners no choice but to vacate until the storm passed. Our SERVPRO Technicians removed the tree and placed a tarp on the roof to prevent further water damage, we then began the drying process. Because SERVPRO of The Dutch Fork also has a reconstruction division, we were also able to rebuild the damaged portion of the home. 

After a severe thunderstorm, we received a call from a homeowner in Chapin, SC that had a neighbor's tree fall on the corner of their home. In the middle of the night there's not much a homeowner can do in cases like this. Because of limited visibility and loss of power, it seemed the only thing to do is wait. SERVPRO of The Dutch Fork arrived to find the tree resting on the roof of the home. The weight of the trunk caused what appeared to be minor damage. It was not until we got inside the home that we found portions of the ceiling caved in and water spots showing in several rooms from rain water that seeped in through holes caused by the tree. After the tree was removed, the roof had a tarp placed over it and demo began.  

Hurricane Florence took a devastating toll on Eastern North Carolina. Sudden changes in the storm's path left many unprepared for the amount of water and wind that would ultimately devastate a concentrated area of the east coast. Our crews loaded up and headed to Hampstead, NC to assist the local SERVPRO Franchises.

Water consumed 75% of the lower level of this home. Thankfully there were no occupants on the premises during the worst parts of the flooding. Flooding not only causes safety hazards - storm water is a breeding ground for bacteria and can cause a number of serious illnesses. 

In August of 2017 Irma struck the southeastern United States as well as several coastal islands off the Atlantic. Because of its magnitude many were forced to evacuate the area and leave their homes behind. Our storm crews set out to Fripp Island, SC to assist those in need.

In this home there were several inches of standing water that caused damage to the lower level of the home. Water had to be extracted to further asses the damage. Our trained technicians determined that at one point water had accumulated over a foot in the living room. Because of the harmful nature of storm water it was necessary to remove and clean all contents of the home, remove and dispose of the flooring, and remove the drywall where water had contact.

Hurricane Matthew was the first Category 5 Atlantic Hurricane to pass through the United States in 10 years. Matthew caused widespread devastation in the southeastern United States as well as coastal islands. SERVPRO of The Dutch Fork loaded up our hardworking crews and headed to Fripp Island, SC. In one home we mitigated there was over 2 feet of standing water. This required removal of all flooring, the majority of the drywall and contents in the home.

Storm damage of this caliber requires trained professionals to remediate - if proper precautions are not taken, further issues can be expected down the road.
