Winter Storms

1/4/2021 (Permalink)

Often when we think of a storm, we think about a summer storm.  But storms can occur anytime of the year.  And no matter when they occur, they can do significant damage to your home or business.  

According to Wikipedia, a Winter Storm is, "an event in which varieties of precipitation are formed that only occur at freezing temperatures, such as snow, mixed snow, mixed snow and rain, or freezing rain-rain that encounters frozen surfaces".  

Just like summer storms, winter storms can include high winds.  The effects of high winds on trees and power lines can be further compounded by wet, heavy snow or freezing rain and ice, causing downed trees and power lines.  These downed trees and power lines can land on your home and do significant damage. 

We here at SERVPRO of Appleton are a full service restoration company.  Should your home or business be damaged by a downed tree or power line this winter, we can provide board up services, to prevent further damage from precipitation and quickly begin the restoration and repair process.
