Storms can be a problem for your home any time of year. There are certain times of the year when homeowners in Florida are most vulnerable to encountering severe damage.

Hurricane season, tornado season, and anytime, when there is the threat of powerful winds and a significant downpour, can threaten your house's structure and its contents.

Storm damage in Tarpon Springs can get especially severe when hurricanes and tropical storms threaten the coastline. Though the range of consequences varies, it can be a very stressful and traumatic event, especially in areas that are closest to bodies of water.

Here are some of the top ways that storm damage can affect your home.

1. Wind damage

Strong winds have the potential to cause immense devastation to a home, even if no tornado has touched down and a tropical storm never turns into a hurricane. The technicians at SERVPRO have experience handling storm damage caused by the wind and can restore your home so you can get back to your usual routine.

2. Flood waters

Water is a powerful force, especially when accompanied by strong winds and lightning. Even after the waters have receded, dangers associated with the formation of mold and mildew will linger unless you contact a professional company like us, SERVPRO, for storm damage assistance.

3. Storm surges

A storm surge can occur when the sea level suddenly rises due to a weather event, and it's a particular threat to homes in Florida that are near the coast. The low pressure and high winds associated with storm surges often result in damage that requires expert cleanup.

4. Electrical Hazards

Anytime there's water and flooding involved with storm damage; there's the danger of electrical hazards. Downed power lines, water damaged equipment and appliances, and exposed wires all require careful handling.
