Cornell College estimated that over 100 trees on its campus were damaged by the derecho, and its sports center and facilities building had roof damage. A storm that large leaves roofs open, ceilings wet and trees on structures, and the cleanup stretches for weeks.
If a tree or limb has hit your roof, cover the opening and call us before the next rain. Wet insulation and drywall under a damaged roof can start growing mold within a couple of days, so we extract water, dry the structure and document everything for your insurance claim.
How We Handle Losses in Mount Vernon
Mount Vernon faces derecho and thunderstorm winds, ice and snowmelt that move water toward basements, and hard freezes that split supply lines. Roof leaks, wet basements and burst pipes are the losses we prepare for here.
Mold usually follows water in Mount Vernon homes. A basement that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a humid summer 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 firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Mount Vernon usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain or ice dams. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
