Iowa Storms

5/2/2022 (Permalink)

Everyone that lives in Iowa knows how quickly the weather changes here. During the spring and summer months we can be especially hit by water downpour or high winds from seasonal storms. While all can create damage, some types become more severe and do significate damage to your homes or businesses. These storms can bring heavy rain, flooding, and tornadoes into our area. We can even get thunderstorms off of hurricanes traveling inland from the coast.  

Damage By Lighting: when bolts of lightning strike your home or business. This can cause a fire, which can quickly spread. It does this through the static discharge it has.

Damage By Flooding: when major amounts of water have fallen, at times it is too much for the ground to handle at once. It is easy for homes, basements, roads, and driveways to quickly flood, and fill with water. If you experience any type of flooding, SERVPRO of Burlington can help you dry out, and even rebuild your home or business back!  

Damage By Wind: Most of the time, this involves your roof and siding, but can also impact trees, outdoor furniture and that trampoline that used to be in the neighbor’s yard. When impacting your roof, it can be from a just few shingles, to your entire roof taken off. If you see any damage, have a professional come out and take a look. Even a small hole can cause a huge issue in your home with time. If left unrepaired it could lead to mold from the water that is now entering your home.
