After the first heavy snowfall, it is always a good idea to check your roof to ensure you do not have a large build up of snow. Heavy, deep snow on the roof can cause potential damage which would allow water to enter your home and produce extensive water damage. Many people use a roof rake to remove snow from their roof and protect against water intrusion or even worse, a collapsed roof.
Once water enters your home from a leak in the roof, the damage can quickly spread. Since you are dealing with water damage at the highest point of your home, you are also looking at potential water damage throughout the entire house as gravity pulls the water towards the lowest point of the structure.
The best water damage repair method is to call the professionals at ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons. We will ensure that your home is properly restored to its prior condition. We specialize in making sure all your water damage is repaired, and there is no potential for future issues such as mold and rotting.
Water damage repair is something no one wants to deal with. With winter upon us, there are many potential storms that can cause damage to your home which could make you susceptible to water intrusion. If you find you are in need a water damage repair in Chicago, IL,
