Storm Damage Restoration in South Mississippi →What Damages Property in Hattiesburg
The January 21, 2017 tornado, rated at least EF-3 in the first survey, crossed Hattiesburg and Petal and opened roofs to the weather. Rain that follows a storm like that soaks insulation, ceilings and walls quickly, and in Hattiesburg's humid air wet materials can start growing mold within 24 to 48 hours.
When rivers rise, the water that reaches a home is contaminated and has to be removed, then the structure cleaned, disinfected and dried. Slab and crawl-space homes dry differently, so we use moisture meters and thermal imaging to find water in wall cavities, under flooring and in crawl spaces, and we dry to verified targets.
How We Handle Losses in Hattiesburg
Hattiesburg homes are mostly slab-on-grade or built over crawl spaces. The Leaf River and Bouie River floodplains put nearby properties at risk during prolonged heavy rain, and tornadoes, tropical storm winds and pine and hardwood trees falling on roofs account for much of the rest of the damage we see.
Mold usually follows water in Hattiesburg homes. A slow leak inside a wall, an air conditioning drain line that backs up, or a room that stays damp through a humid season can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove the water used to put the fire out, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Hattiesburg usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
