The sky begins to darken and the wind slowly increases in intensity, and you know that a storm is rapidly approaching. Summer storms are a common occurrence in Merrimack, New Hampshire (NH) during the warmer months. While these pop-up storms usually come and go quickly, the damage they leave behind may last much longer. Water damage is among one of the disasters that results from summer storms, and the evidence is often commonly found in garages, attics and basements. Is your home or business prepared for when the next storm strikes this summer? Do you know what type of flood water removal services to contact, and what questions to ask them? If not, contact the water mitigation experts at Soil-Away Cleaning and Restoration Services, who specialize in storm water damage cleanup.

Summer Storms Stir-Up Water Damage

 
High winds, hail, downpours and wind driven rain are all common characteristics of summer storms here in NH. However, while summer storms usually come and go quickly, the damage left behind may not, such as water disasters. During storms where heavy rain and high wind is produced, basements and other low-lying areas can become a target for rain and debris accumulation, as an overabundance of ground water forms around the structure. When there is extensive precipitation, the moisture builds-up around and underneath the structure’s foundation, resulting in an increase of pressure against the foundation. As an outcome, water seeps into the structure through holes and cracks in the foundation.
