Snowplow on the streets of Chicago following the Polar Vortex. SERVPRO of Mobile County crews traveled to Chicago to help those impacted.

At SERVPRO of Mobile County, we talk a lot about our storm response and disaster restoration services, but that can encompass quite a variety of damages.  There is no way to prevent the unforeseen havoc that nature can wreak, but knowledge can help you be better prepared.  So, what is the most common types of storm damage? 

• Flooding is the most common and extensive form of storm damage annually. Even during tropical storm/hurricane events, flooding from rising waters causes more damage than the high winds.
• Hail Storms
• Snow Storms
• Hurricanes
• Ice Storms
• Lightning
• Tornadoes

Although there is no way to prevent when or where many of these events will strike, you can research the best ways to prepare your home for the most common events in your area.  For more information on our storm restoration services, call us at 251-343-0534.
