Help With Storm Damage in 02153
Storm water that comes in from outside carries dirt and debris. Floors and walls it touched are cleaned as well as dried.
Storm Damage Restoration Services in 02153
Emergency Roof Tarping
Tarping keeps the attic and ceilings from getting wet again during the storms that often follow the first one.
Storm Damage Water Extraction
Rainwater that came in through a roof, window or door is removed from floors, carpet and the space under cabinets before it soaks into walls.
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
Water that gets behind siding or stucco can soak insulation and the back of the drywall. The pros find it with meters and dry the cavity.
Storm Flooded Basement Cleanup
Basement floodwater from outside is treated as contaminated, so soaked porous materials are removed and surfaces are disinfected.
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
When high winds drive rain into a home, water often runs down inside exterior walls. Meters find it, and drywall is opened where needed to dry it.
When Storm Damage Needs Professional Cleanup
Bubbling Paint on Exterior Walls
Paint that bubbles on the inside of an exterior wall after a storm points to water that got behind the siding.
Wet Carpet Near Windows and Doors
Damp carpet or swollen flooring along exterior walls shows that rain was driven in around frames or under doors.
Mud or Debris Indoors
Mud, leaves or glass inside the house mean storm water came in from outside and floors need cleaning as well as drying.
Broken Windows or Doors
Any broken glass or damaged door lets rain and wind in. The opening needs to be covered before drying can work.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 02153
Step 1: Protect Belongings
Furniture, electronics and stored items in wet rooms are moved, raised or covered before extraction begins.
Step 2: Extraction Room by Room
Water is removed from each affected room, and wet carpet that cannot be saved is pulled up.
Step 3: Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
Water behind siding and inside exterior walls is found with meters and dried through small openings or removed baseboards.
Step 4: Verify and Close Out
Final readings and photos are recorded for each room, so you and your insurer can see the drying results.
Common Causes of Storm Damage in 02153
Roof Damage From Wind
High winds lift and tear shingles and flashing, exposing the roof deck to rain that soaks into the attic.
Flying Debris
Outdoor furniture, signs and branches carried by wind can break glass and doors and let rain into the home.
Hail Impact
Hail cracks shingles, skylights and vent caps, opening small gaps that leak during the storms that follow.
Power Outages
Storms that knock out power stop pumps and dehumidifiers, so water that gets in stays longer than it otherwise would.

Residential Storm Damage Restoration
In homes with finished basements, storm water can soak carpet, drywall and storage. The pros pump out the water, remove soaked finishes and dry the walls and slab.
Commercial Storm Damage Restoration
Commercial buildings with basement storage or mechanical rooms get pump-out, removal of wet materials and drying of the floor and walls.
When Storm Damage Is Too Big for DIY
Move furniture, electronics and rugs away from wet areas and out from under leaks. Set buckets under drips and lay towels to keep water from spreading.
Factors in Storm Damage Cleanup Cost in 02153
In Medford, the biggest cost drivers after a storm are the number of wet rooms, soaked insulation and drywall, and after-hours work during the storm.
Basement Flooding
Pumping out a flooded basement and removing wet finishes adds equipment and labor to the job.
Rooms Affected
Each wet room needs extraction, drying equipment and moisture checks, so the number of rooms sets much of the cost.
Drying Time
Each extra day of air movers, dehumidifiers and moisture checks adds to the cost, especially in wet attics and wall cavities.
