The threat of home damage is always present, even if it is a seemingly normal day with no severe weather forecasted or other potential issues present. Burst pipes, house fires and even broken windows from an errant golf ball can occur in the blink of an eye.

Even with the potential risks we could experience every day, we can’t live in a state of anxiety. Natural disasters and other disaster events aren’t always predictable, but being prepared for them can help you avoid more extensive damage.

SERVPRO of Alamo Heights is here to help! We can restore your home no matter what happens. We explain a bit more about the different damage we see most often and how we can help you recover.

The Biggest Risks for San Antonio Residents

We can experience all kinds of weather in our community, including tornadoes, heavy rain and strong winds. We are at a heightened risk for flooding issues due to our proximity to the San Antonio River. We are also at risk of water damage and fire damage from everyday mishaps and accidents.

Water damage can occur when Mother Nature intervenes in the form of flooding concerns and rain water leaks, but it can also happen when an appliance leaks or a pipe bursts in your home. House fires can also be caused by natural sources like when lightning strikes, but they are most commonly started by error or a household accident.

When Damage Continues to Get Worse

The initial disaster situation can be frustrating enough, but oftentimes that situation can lead to other frustrating issues. For example, flooded basements or rain leaking down your walls can lead to serious water damage, but it can also lead to mold infestations behind your walls if the water isn’t completely dried up.

The same is true for fire, as the flames will certainly damage your home, but smoke and residual soot will travel to parts of your home that were never touched by the flames. In addition, water damage is also a common aspect of fire damage restoration because water is often used to put out the flames!

Home damage situations are never simple, but we can handle your recovery no matter what. We are trained to restore, repair and recover your home from the initial cleaning to the final reconstruction.

When a water disaster strikes, we will work on removing the excess water and saving your possessions. This also includes odor removal, mold mitigation and sanitization needs to ensure your property is fully restored.

When a fire breaks out, we are trained to handle the debris removal right alongside soot and smoke removal, as well as water extraction and damage repair. We can even handle full reconstructions of entire rooms or levels of your home!

Working with us makes your recovery simple because you only have to work with one company during your entire restoration! We have the tools, training and team members to handle every aspect of your reconstruction from start to finish.

Does your home need restoration and you don’t want to make more than one call? Contact us to get everything handled by one team.
