This customer was gone on vacation when a heavy rain storm arrived.  A large tree in their backyard fell on to their roof and cracked several tiles, which allowed large amounts of water to flood their attic and ceiling.  The water damage was extensive in several rooms of the house.

The use of containment barriers and heavy duty cardboard rolls are essential to protecting parts of the structure from further damage.  The restoration professionals at SERVPRO are heavily trained to prevent further damage during restoration.

Containment barriers are a major tool which SERVPRO professionals use on a daily basis.  These barriers are easy to install and can limit dust contamination during demolition.  The barriers also limit the drying area to speed up the drying process.

During a heavy rain storm, this customer's roof gutter clogged with leaves and caused water to flood the attic.  The excess water soaked the upstairs closet walls and carpet.  Then the excess water collapsed the drywall ceiling in their living room on the first floor.
