Common Concerns of Edwardsville Post-Storm Damage Reconstruction

Your house’s exterior is highly vulnerable to damage during storms and flooding. Powerful weather systems can wreak havoc on several of your home’s outermost features. Therefore, knowing the common repairs your home may require after snow, ice, and windstorms is crucial. Some of these repairs may include:

• Soffit
• Dormers
• Roof
• Walls
• Windows

Clearing Out Debris and Damaged Materials

When it comes to storm damage reconstruction in Edwardsville homes, time is of the essence. The longer floodwater is left unattended, the more damage it can cause. It’s crucial to promptly address sagging or collapsed materials, remove muck and debris, and thoroughly dry structural cavities. Only then can RCC Restoration professionals reinstall new materials and recover your home to its pre-flood condition. Additionally, our technicians will work closely with your insurance company to ensure the reconstruction process is as stress-free and seamless as possible.

Controlled Demolition of Flood-Damaged Elements

Homes affected by floods can suffer severe damage to their walls. The materials used in constructing walls are susceptible to water intrusion, and drywall, insulation, framing, and even utilities can be ruined. In such cases, RCC Restoration professionals must remove the exterior materials of wall assemblies to assess the exposure of internal elements. Surface flooding can damage several wall systems simultaneously, which requires a careful evaluation of the home’s condition to determine how controlled demolition and subsequent reconstruction services can help.

Flood-Damaged Basement Building Materials

Basements are highly susceptible to flooding, and the damage caused by this can be severe. In the case of finished lower levels, extensive tear-out and reconstruction work is often necessary. All exposed porous materials must be removed from the studs and subflooring to eliminate any bacterial or viral pathogenic threats or moisture that could lead to mold development. This process is critical to ensure the safety and health of the property’s occupants. We can also help you install preventative measures such as a sump pump, sealant to walls and floors, and proper drainage to reduce the risk of basement flooding.Quick and effective storm damage reconstruction and mitigation are crucial to restoring your property after a storm.
