Even "small" ice storms can create major damage

From large commercial to small residential losses, SERVPRO of Wichita Falls is here to help.

When most of us think of storm damage, we think of the big hurricanes we see on television, destroying everything is a huge path of destruction.

And while our team of professionals have deployed to restore hurricane damaged areas, we also focus on the smaller storms close to home.

While damage from thunderstorms and tornadoes is common, one thing gets very little recognition when it comes to storm damage: ice.

Ice storms here in Texoma vary from closing two states to just spotty damage. And it's the latter that can be hard to detect.

Frigid temperatures combined with ice storms can lead to frozen pipes, as well as hidden water pockets on roofs, gutters and downspouts.

And when it finally thaws, water will take the path of least resistance, typically down and inside your walls.

It may take days before you notice signs of what was storm damage, but now looks like water damage.

Once you see it, call the trusted experts at SERVPRO of Wichita Falls. We're here to help.
