When Storm Damage Interrupts Your Life:

Living so close to the ocean can make it easy for storm damage to affect your Falmouth home. An intense storm can bring water, wind, and even debris to your door and cause trouble. Picture winds more than fifty miles an hour blowing signs, tree branches, and yard decor around your neighborhood. A mighty gust of wind could throw open the door of your home and allow storm damage inside. Storm damage like this could enable:

• Blackwater to rush into your home
• Carpets to become waterlogged
• Mud and muck to cover interior rooms and furnishings

Blackwater is a serious issue and should not be ignored. It can contain biohazards, petroleum, gas, and other harsh chemicals. Should it impact the rugs in your home, they cannot be remediated as there is no way to ensure safety. Our team understands the health risks of contaminated groundwater and removes any residual amount as we begin the cleanup and restoration.
