In Florida many properties face damage from storms big and small. Here at SERVPRO we are actively working with damages for the last major storm!

Storms here can be any size and change in a moment's notice.

Flagler is a nice area that sits right on the coast! So, yes tidal flooding is an issue here and at times can be scary in a major storm. A major storm can cause structural damage and has been known to destruct some roads near the water. It's also been a place that with heavy rainfall it can have some flooding! Flooding is bad here because its location being so wet already and near many water ways. The Flooding will not only sometimes intrude in you homes but sometimes find a hole or crack as a path from outside to the inside of the structure. SERVPRO will this out for you if you've had flooding. Our team has advanced moisture reading technology and the training to replace drywall, flooring and ceiling as needed.

Wind is one Flagler sees with the storms and without the storms! The gusty windstorms have been known to cause exterior damage and at times if strong enough interior damage. Here in Florida, we have a lot of these so-called squalls that come through for a short period of time and in that time, they can be very damaging. Although this wind can be damaging, SERVPRO is on call 24/7 for any disaster that may take place.

These storms also present lightning to Flagler County. Flagler SERVPRO know these lighting storms can be risky business affecting properties and power that sometimes creates a chain of events for malfunctioning appliances.
