This photo shows why you should never leave a home unattended for months. A water intrusion occurred and growth was found on every wall, ceilings and most of the interior. Always check your home and allow for proper air flow and temperature control to protect against moisture growth. 

Storm damage affects many homeowners across the state of Delaware. There are many ways heavy wind and rain can ruin your home or property. Often, it will be a combination of the two that leads to giving SERVPRO of Sussex County a call. In this photo, a branch broke through the roof of a home during a large thunderstorm. The opening caused by the impact made it possible for heavy rains to flood the attic area, resulting in wet insulation and saturated drywall forming the ceiling of the interior. Our first step upon responding to the loss was proper containment of the opening to prevent further damage from the elements. We then proceeded with the rest of our restoration work. 

This home suffered from a broken supply line in the upper floors. There was a large amount of water that was released from this broken pipe, which proceeded to make its way through the HVAC lines, flooring, and drywall. The damage was extensive throughout, affecting carpeting and more. We opened up the ceiling on the ground floor to removing the soaked drywall, and purge the saturated flex lines. After this work was done, we brought in the extractor to remove as much water as possible from the ground floor before moving forward with demolition. If you have experienced a major water loss, contact SERVPRO of Sussex County today!

Out team is often called out to respond to loss scenarios at commercial locations around the Sussex County area. This image illustrates some of the exploratory methods used to find and isolate a water loss at a medical facility. This particular location was in the process of closing down and moving the staff to a new campus. We responded to the call immediately and coordinated with the staff to gain access and start the drying process. The water to this part of the building was shut off, the damaged material was removed, and the source was revealed and exposed. Following our initial work, a plumbing contractor arrived to repair the source of loss. 

We see many basement water damages here at SERVPRO of Sussex County. Home and business owners should know that anything part of a structure below ground will be at risk for water infiltration for a variety of reasons. Cracks in the foundation and poor seals around windows are among the most common ways groundwater gains entry into a basement. We were initially called out to this loss in order to extract excess water that entered the home. The job later developed into a cleaning of the concrete floor as well. If you have water infiltration at your home after heavy rains, call SERVPRO of Sussex County for service today!

Storms can cause many different types of dangerous damage to your home and property. Earlier this year, a major storm caused a tree branch to fall through a trailer in the Sussex County region. The homeowner did what they could to stop the rainwater from entering the home, but called us to handle the water and remaining damage. This is a very common situation and we are experienced responding to it. There was plenty of debris that needed to be cleaned up, and thankfully very little water damage despite the circumstances. If you are faced with storm damage, make SERVPRO of Sussex County your first call for assistance.

SERVPRO of Sussex County maintains a trained and qualified crew for a wide range of emergency loss situations. The SERVPRO team has extensive experience working in large commercial complexes and industrial properties. A few months ago, we were contacted by the owners of a medical complex in Sussex County, Delaware. The staff had recently been moved to a new campus, but some personnel remained at the old facility as it prepared to close. A plumbing leak cause damage to several floors which required our services to restore. Our experience working in secure properties and understanding professional protocol in situations such as this made us the right choice for the job. 

We use a variety of safe cleaning methods to restore your property. Dry sponges are used to remove soot, dust, and other material without solvents, and do not leave stains or residue. They are just one of the many safe cleaning tools we can use at your home or property.

Our technicians are well-trained and resourceful. We recently received a call to clean up a parking lot after a garbage truck's load caught on fire. We utilized a Bobcat vehicle to remove the material from the parking lot quickly.

This customer woke up to a burst supply line in their kitchen. The entire ground floor was flooded with water. Our crew utilized extraction equipment to quickly remove excess water and stop further damage. These are the types of resources that make SERVPRO the best choice for your restoration needs. 

The final day of work at a large commercial space our team restored. Moisture trapped between the walls and insulation resulted in widespread growth. Our team excels at working efficiently to return the property of our customers to working order.

A recent water intrusion at a local Animal Hospital offers some shocking evidence as to how wooden furniture such as cabinets and bookcases can be damaged when water enters an office area. 

A recent summer thunderstorm brought significant rainfall as well as strong winds. What wasn't waterfront property - now is.  It is amazing how fast mother nature can create an emergency.  

This photo shows another angle of the water damage to a kitchen in Rehoboth. The water intrusion occurred under the floor and sub floor and throughout the area and the force created actually lifted the floor as well as the islands and appliances.

This photo shows a table and lamp affected with the formation of growth after a major water intrusion. Unfortunately, the water loss occurred while the house was vacant and within only a couple of days, the moisture in the indoor environment spawned the growth.  Growth was found throughout the house and created an additional need for remediation.

This photo shows the scene of a recent water loss in Rehoboth Beach. The water heater sprung a leak in the vacant home and the water flowed for several days. As the water spread under the kitchen floor; the result as you can see is a dramatic relocation of both the hardwood floor, the island and most of the appliances. The entire floor and sub floor will need to be demolished and rebuilt.  

On April 15, 2019, the Laurel area sustained damage from an EF2 tornado. This photo shows part of a warehouse roof that was relocated into a tree top during the storm. Imagine what that power could do to any living thing in it's path!  

Sussex County does not see many tornadoes – thankfully.  Unfortunately, that respite came to an end on April 15, 2019, when an EF2 tornado touched down near Laurel and tore a hundred yard wide path of destruction over about ten miles.  This photo shows what was left of an UTZ Snack warehouse located just off of Rt. 13.  The roof of the structure could be found spread across the tops of four trees behind the structure.  The extreme force of a tornado is almost unimaginable.
