Summer in Flagler County brings warm weather, beach days, and unfortunately, the threat of severe storms. These summer storms can result in significant damage, from high winds and heavy rain to flooding and water damage. At SERVPRO of Flagler County, we are dedicated to helping our community recover from storm-related damages swiftly and efficiently. Here’s how we can assist you in the face of summer storms.

Understanding Summer Storms and Their Impact

High Winds and Hail

Summer storms often come with powerful winds and sometimes hail, which can cause extensive damage to roofs, siding, windows, and outdoor structures.

Heavy Rain and Flooding

Torrential downpours can lead to flash flooding, overwhelming drainage systems and causing water to invade homes and businesses. Floodwater can ruin flooring, walls, and personal belongings, and it can also pose health risks due to contaminants.

Lightning Strikes

Lightning can start fires or cause power surges, damaging electrical systems and appliances.

Immediate Steps to Take After a Storm

Ensure Safety

• Evacuate if Necessary: If your home is severely damaged, evacuate to a safe location.
• Avoid Downed Power Lines: Stay clear of any downed power lines and report them to authorities.

Document the Damage

Take photos and videos of all visible damage for your insurance claim.

Contact Your Insurance Company

Notify your insurer about the damage as soon as possible and begin the claims process.
