The Different Types of Storm Damage That Can Affect Your Home

9/12/2024 (Permalink)

Storms are a force of nature that can strike at any time, and they often leave behind significant damage to homes and properties. Whether it’s a hurricane, blizzard, or thunderstorm, understanding the types of storm damage that can affect your house is crucial to protecting your investment and ensuring the safety of your family.

1. Wind Damage

High winds, especially those from hurricanes, tornadoes, or severe thunderstorms, can cause significant structural damage to homes. Wind gusts can range from mild to extremely destructive, depending on the storm's intensity.

2. Flooding and Water Damage

Flooding is a common result of storms, especially in areas prone to heavy rainfall, storm surges, or flash floods. Water damage can have long-lasting effects on your home, from structural damage to mold growth.

3. Hail Damage

While Hailstorms are not as common in Rhode Island, they still can cause severe damage to your home, particularly your roof, windows, and exterior surfaces. Hailstones can range in size from small pellets to large, golf-ball-sized chunks, and the damage they cause can be costly to repair.

4. Lightning Damage

While less common, lightning strikes can cause serious damage to homes. Lightning can strike trees, power lines, or even your home directly, leading to electrical damage, fires, and structural issues.

5. Snow and Ice Damage

Winter storms can cause significant damage to homes, especially in areas prone to heavy snowfalls and ice buildup. Ice can accumulate on roofs, trees, and power lines, leading to damage from excess weight and freezing temperatures.

While you can’t control the weather, you can take steps to protect your home from the most common types of storm damage.

Preventing storm damage in your Rhode Island home

8/29/2022 (Permalink)

Storm damage can be a huge hassle, and no one wants to receive storm damage, especially when it is least expected. Although you can get damaged at any time, there are natural ways you can do to prevent storm damage in your home. Here are some simple tips and tricks to ensure less damage.

  • Inspect your roof and chimney.

The roof is the most important part of your house. It is important to check out your roof to make sure you don’t have any damaged, loose, or missing shingles or tiles. Another component on the roof is the chimney. The chimney receives more damage than the roof because it stands taller. Making sure your chimney has no cracks or broken masonry work will help prevent possible leakage.

  • Maintain trees and vegetation.

Having a beautiful lawn with bushes and trees are lovely, but keep in mind that plants and trees can cause damage to your house if not maintained. Make sure to minimize vegetation near utility pipes and make sure roots don’t damage your pipes and water line.

  • Clean gutters and downspouts.

Gutters will help collect all the water from your roof. Over time, your gutters will fill up with leaves, seeds, and other debris causing a blockage. It is important to clean your gutters and downspouts to ensure the water can flow easily.

  • Remember to check your attic.

Most homeowners don’t go into the attic often and signs of water in the attic are not often found early before the damage is too late.  Water damage in the attic can be an environment for mold to grow.

Thinking ahead to winter storms | Cranston, RI

9/15/2020 (Permalink)

While it's only September, as we know, winter in Rhode Island can come in the blink of an eye! 

In Cranston, RI, winter storm damage can lead to a bunch of problems in your home if you are caught off guard, not prepared. 

Prepare your home 

Before a big storm hits, take a look around your home. Clear out any gutters to prevent any dams. Also check for loose shingles that might come up with strong winds. 

Trim your trees and shrubs around the home (if possible). Especially if there is a lot of snow expected. Snow and ice can get very heavy once it starts to accumulate. This could cause major damage to your home and other structures on the property. 

Clean up any debris and lawn furniture or loose items in your yard. Strong winds can pick them up and they can blow around, potentially leading to damage to your home, even your neighbors home.

It's better for you to be prepared than caught off guard and left with more damage that you could've possibly prevented. 

Winter storm damage

Cold weather can lead to a number of damages in your Cranston home. One being frozen/burst pipes. This is something you typically don't need to worry about if you are home and have heat/hot water running during the storm. 

Ice dams are also a possible source of damage to your home this winter. If snow builds and builds up on your roof/gutters, it can cause dams, blocking the water from flowing away from the home, and without anywhere else to go, the water goes into your home. 

Snow build up on your roof can be very heavy, and if your roof isn't up for the task of heavy lifting, it can cause major damage. 

If it is safe, after a storm, use a long rake to remove some snow from your roof. 

Though these are just a few of the types of damage that can happen to your Cranston home this winter, it's very important for you to be ready for whatever happens, like us here at SERVPRO of Northern Rhode Island. 

No matter the damage, your home is restorable! We're your local storm damage restoration experts! Highly trained and experienced in all types of water and storm damage restoration, we're here to help you!

Hurricane Isaias | Will it make it to Providence Rhode Island?

7/31/2020 (Permalink)

Whether or not we do get impacted by Hurricane Isaias, it's a good time to prepare an emergency kit, or go through yours to be sure nothing is spoiled, and ensure all batteries work! 

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), The best time to prepare for a hurricane is before hurricane season begins which is June 1. But if you haven't already, you can always do it now! 

Hurricanes

Although we may not experience hurricanes like our southern coastal states do, we typically see the remnants of them. 

Listen for emergency alerts, most smartphones have a system already ready to send alerts. 

Do NOT walk or drive through flooded streets. Just 1 foot of water can push your vehicle away! 

Wind from hurricanes can easily reach 200 MPH and cause damage to buildings and vehicles. 

Emergency Kit 

What should be in your emergency kit:

  • Water (enough for 1 gallon per person (and pet) to last 3 days)
  • Food (enough for each person for 3 days)
  • Battery powered or hand crank radio 
  • Flashlights 
  • First aid kit
  • Garbage bags
  • Can opener
  • Cell phones with backup battery 
  • Prescription medications 
  • Non-prescription medications (pain relievers...)
  • Pet food 
  • Clothing and bedding 
  • Copies of important documents 
  • Feminine supplies and other personal hygiene items 
  • Pen and pads 
  • Books and games for the kids (and you!)

Hurricane Isaias 

Hurricane Isaias became the second Atlantic hurricane of 2020 on the night of July 30th. It has already arrived in Puerto Rico and is on it's way to Florida and the East Coast, expected to reach us mid-week next week. 

According to https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2020/07/31/hurricane-isaias-east-coast/ 

Winds up to 45 mph are expected along the Florida coast, as well as dangerous rip currents in the ocean, and heavy rainfall. 

As Isaias heads north to the Carolina's, it is expected to remain a hurricane. It's hard to determine now how strong the storm will still be by next week, this depends on the track it follows. It's not yet definitely determined if Hurricane Isaias will make it's way to Rhode Island, but it's a possibility, so it's best for you to prepare now just in case we get heavy rains and strong winds. 

At SERVPRO of Northern Rhode Island, we're ready for whatever happens, so if you experience any storm, flood, or wind damage, give us a call at 401-949-9955. We're here 24/7 for you!!

Thunderstorm and Lightning safety in Manville, RI 

As we all know, Rhode Island weather can be quite unpredictable. At the end of this week, weather reports have said we can expect some remnants of a tropical storm from the south. That being said, we can expect heavy rains in some areas as well as gusts of wind. You should always be prepared for thunderstorms, any storms, even if they’re not predicted to be severe.

Stay up to date on the weather forecasts. As we know, the weather forecast can change day to day.

Stay in communication with your family. Communicate with them on where to go in the case of an emergency. And discuss an emergency plan.

Prepare your home  keep tree branches trimmed back, take your patio furniture inside or put in the shed so things don’t go flying around.

Help your neighbors and friends! Head over to your next door neighbors house and see if they need any help carrying patio furniture inside or securing anything. A little help will go a long way.

Have a first aid kit

Severe thunderstorm watch vs severe thunderstorm warning

A severe thunderstorm watch means that severe storms are possible in and around the area.

A severe thunderstorm warning means severe weather has already been reported or spotted by radar. Storm warnings also indicate danger.

If you are driving during severe weather, head to the next safest exit or pull over, turn on your hazards and wait until the heavy rains subside.

Lightning safety

It is important for you to remain indoors during thunderstorms.

  • Avoid open areas such as fields, and do not be the tallest in the area. Lightning will strike the taller objects in an area.
  • Stay away from trees, poles, and towers.
  • Stay away from fences.

Getting help if someone is struck

  • Call 9-1-1 immediately.
  • Begin CPR if you are trained.
  • Move the struck person to a safer area if possible to avoid any other injuries.

“When thunder roars go indoors”

About 30 people are killed each year by lightning strikes. These fatalities can usually be prevented. In 2020, there have been 5 lightning related fatalities. 

When you hear thunder, immediately get indoors or in a covered vehicle. Stay indoors for at least 30 minutes after the storm has subsided. Some of the injuries or fatalities had occurred due to people going outside too soon!

You can be struck while indoors, but it is rare. It can be caused by using wired electrical devices or plumbing (showers or baths)

If your home or business suffers from flood or storm damage, give us a call at (401) 949-9955, we're here to help! 

April showers bring May flowers...or water damage

4/1/2020 (Permalink)

Car completely under water due to flooding in 2010, Rhode Island This flooding happened at the end of March in 2010, when 6-10 inches of rain fell in RI. This caused rivers to flood across most of the state.

As the saying goes "April showers bring May flowers." 

But when the showers get a little too intense, it can cause flooding, and storms can be intense.  

According to the Providence Journal, it rained for 23 days last April in Rhode Island.

When there is heavy rainfall in the forecast, this could mean floods are possible. 

Flooding

What is flooding? 

According to the National Severe Storms Laboratory:

"Flooding is an overflowing of water onto land that is normally dry. Floods can happen during heavy rains, when ocean waves come on shore, when snow melts too fast, or when dams or levees break. Flooding may happen with only a few inches of water, or it may cover a house to the rooftop."

Since we're in April, we'll discuss how flooding can occur with just a few inches of water, from those April showers. 

"Flooding occurs in every U.S. state and territory, and is a threat experienced anywhere in the world that receives rain."

Flash flood

Flash flooding occurs in an instant within hours of heavy rains. If you experience heavy rains, this is a sign that flooding may occur.

Flash flood watch 

These are issued when conditions are favorable for flash flooding. This gives you time to think about a plan of action before any flooding actually occurs. 

Flash flood warning

This is issued when flash flooding is happening or is likely to happen soon. Warnings are usually more concentrated on specific areas due to excessive rain. 

Flash flood emergency

These are typically rare, when extremely heavy rain can lead to catastrophic damage.

If your Warwick, Cranston, East providence, North Kingstown, Narragansett, Westerly commercial building or home was damaged due to flooding or heavy rainfall, give us a call, we're the experts in water damage repair in

Earthquakes - What You Should Know in RI

1/30/2020 (Permalink)

Understanding Earthquakes

On Tuesday, January 28th, 2020, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit just 80 miles from Jamaica. The affects were felt as far as Miami and Cuba. This quake came just three weeks after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake in Puerto Rico. In New England, we don't have to worry about earthquakes as much as California or Japan. But, we have experienced a fair share of them. 

An earthquake is what happens when 2 pieces of the Earth slip past each other. Sometimes foreshocks occur. These are little earthquakes that happen in the same place the larger one will occur. Kind of like a warning sign. 

Although there are foreshocks that come before a quake, there is no way for scientists to predict an earthquake. 

Earthquake magnitudes are recorded with seismographs. There is a heavy free hanging weight and is set in the ground. When the earth shakes due to a quake, the seismograph will too, but the weight does not, which will create the graph that determines the magnitude (siesmogram).

Tropical Storm Gabriel & Hurricane Dorian Aftermath - Smithfield, RI

9/9/2019 (Permalink)

SERVPRO brand logo SERVPRO Serves Storm Restoration

September is hurricane season, and we first say it with Hurricane Dorian as our headliner. Hurricane Dorian made wave in the Bahamas, killing and injuring so many people and animals. The Hurricane was a category 3 hurricane but grew. The National Hurricane Center is also monitoring Hurricane Gabriel, which is said to not be a threat to us or the Atlantic ocean. Hurricane Gabriel is forming in the north-central Atlantic. Meteorologist say it should transition to a smaller, less severe size by this week. There is no threat to the east coast. An area in the Atlantic ocean is experiencing showers and abnormal weather patterns, so this area is being monitored additionally.

Hurricane Dorian's destruction in the Bahamas was very severe and sad. Click here to view the CNN article with photos of its destruction. Thousands and thousands are displaced from their homes. CNN reported about 45 people dead and so many are injured. Hundreds of people are missing. The after math is so sad. 

There is also watch of a potential Tropical Storm Humberto. Remember to call SERVPRO of Northern Rhode Island at 401-949-9955 for your storm remediation. Contact our office manager Lorraine@SERVPROmckendall.com if you need additional assistance as well.

Sunday - Mostly Sunny

The Great Flood of 2010 - Warwick

8/20/2019 (Permalink)

Warwick Mall Floods of 2010

Remember that time almost 10 years ago when Rhode Island was literally under water? The floods of 2010 happened in March and early April, covering all of Warwick and Rhode Island. The Warwick Mall was submerged in 2 feet of water. Interstate 95 in Cranston was blocked off as well as the airport connecting routes, so this caused major issues for Rhode Islanders especially those on the road. So many businesses suffered. Our team of certified technicians were at the scene with other SERVPRO franchises to mitigate the severe damage inside the building. The floods were caused by excessive rainfall.

Key lesson - Flooding can happen anywhere and everywhere, not just in coastal communities like Narragansett or Newport. 

The Pawcutuck River in Westerly didn't see severe flooding like this since 1938. Water levels did not recede in the second week of April. Sadly, a police officer died due to their car hydroplaning. The damage was so severe that Rhode Island communities were included in FEMA's Disaster Program, and $ 79 Million was given to homeowners and business owners to assist in the disaster.

Call us at 401-949-9955 for storm damage and visit our website.

Hailstorms Bury Mexico & Storm Damage in Rhode Island

7/1/2019 (Permalink)

Hours ago CNN reported the hailstorms in Guadalajara, Mexico over the weekend. Summer is here, and as you get closer to the equator, it gets really hot so this came as a huge surprise for citizens of the community. People woke up on Sunday morning to at least 3 ft of ice covering the area from a hailstorm that swept the region. It goes to show that no matter what geographic region you're in, it is always important to expect the unexpected.

Hurricane Sandy + Tips for Rhode Island Businesses

Hurricane Sandy and SERVPRO Storm Damage Tips

SERVPRO specializes in disaster cleanup, restoration, mold remediation, bio-remediation, crime scenes, and much more. We have the technology for it all! When storms come around, we understand how stressful it can be in your home or business.

"Super-storm" Sandy

This Super-storm took the east coast by surprise, being more devastating than anyone expected. It started as a Depression off the coast of Nicaragua on October 22 of 2012, then days later it swept over Jamaica and Haiti. Sandy continued North, going down to a tropical depression once again but then picking back up to a whopping Category 1 Hurricane. Scientists thought this was unusual, but our weather in Rhode Island has a way of being like that. Because of a cold front sweeping across the Atlantic, Sandy became a hybrid, which caused the media to label it “Frankenstorm”. Because Sandy was unusual and did not fit into a certain category, scientists and media called it a Super-storm.

The reason Sandy was so detrimental isn’t the severity of the hurricane itself, but other factors mixed in (like the cold front) and the fact that people were not prepared. Many Rhode Islanders chose not to evacuate. Sandy was the 4th most expensive storm in history, costing Rhode Island about $11.2 million in damages.

The overarching lesson here is to have flood insurance for your business. For example, many New York-based businesses were destroyed because New Yorkers assumed a storm like Sandy would never reach them far North - they were wrong. New York City alone suffered an estimated 19 billion in damages. No matter where you're geographically located in the United States, anything can happen.

In October of 2018 there was a tornado in Lincoln, RI – who would’ve thought?!

When faced with storm/hurricane damage, make sure to call SERVPRO of Northern Rhode Island. We can remove displaced trees and debris after a hurricane and get your business up back and running!

8 Great Preparation Tips Before a Storm or Hurricane in Rhode Island

6/3/2019 (Permalink)

By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail - Benjamin Franklin

Storm damage in Rhode Island can be very destructive and stressful for all who are involved. New England has had many storms in the past, so it’s important to be prepared at all times. Like Benjamin Franklin famously said, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” This is especially true for storms, hurricanes, personal safety, and home security. You cannot wait until something bad happens to  be proactive. Take the following steps to prepare for when that tropical storm in Narragansett arrives or when that power outage strikes Smithfield.

  1. Have a home safety kit consisting of flashlights, candles, can openers, portable chargers, first-aid bandages, towels, and batteries. These will undoubtedly come in handy if the power is out for a substantial amount of time.
  2. Have a radio – In the case of a power outage, it would be smart of have a radio to still know about what’s going on since you cannot watch television
  3. Prior to the storm, make sure you have non-perishable food items like Ramen noodles, Canned vegetables, Canned soups, crackers and cereal to eat
  4. Store your medications in a safe place. Sometimes medication also has to be refrigerated, so it is a good idea to keep your fridges closed to prevent the cool air from escaping. Have a cooler or a safe backup place to store your important medications.
  5. Keep your mobile electronic devises sufficiently charged before the storm hits. After all, phones lose their battery life so fast and your phone will probably come in handy or at least save you from the "No WiFi boredom"!
  6. Make sure you have a portable charger to charge your devices during a power outage.
  7. Have multiple cases of water accessible, because the water supply may be contaminated
  8. IMPORTANT – be aware of where you’re walking especially if you’re going outside. So many deaths occur from electrical shock during a storm, so be careful you’re not stepping on any wet power lines. Stay indoors if you can do avoid getting injured.

Storm's No Stranger in Rhode Island

Remember that storms and hurricanes don't just happen in a tropical oasis, like the Bahamas. They don't just happen in Florida, either. Rhode Island and southern New England have had their fair share of disasters - some of which SERVPRO was there for and some occurred way earlier.

Let's begin the run down, shall we?

The Great Hurricane of 1938 - Providence was literally under water during this disaster, as well as parts of Southern Rhode Island, like Misquamicut Beach in Westerly, RI. There was between 12 and 15 ft of water in many areas. 

Hurricane Carol of 1954 - This catastrophic, Category 3 hurricane demolished the coastal communities in August, hitting Narragansett and going into Westerly.

Hurricane Gloria of 1985 - "Doc! Doc! We need to get back to 1985!" This quote is not something residents would have said during this September hurricane that even killed a Scituate man (cause was a falling tree).

Hurricane Bob of 1991- This August hurricane hit Narragansett hard in the early 1990's. There were a few deaths and by today's standards, there was about $3 million in damages to The State of Rhode Island & Providence Plantations.

Hurricane "Super-storm" Sandy of 2012 - This led to many days off of school for Rhode Islanders and agony due to loss of power. This storm put our WiFi patience to the ultimate test. This storm costed Rhode Island about $11 million in damages. Yikes.

What is an Ice Dam?

11/5/2018 (Permalink)

The cold season brings snow-packed roofs across the East Coast and with snow melt can come damaging ice dams. Serious damage from ice damming is often subtle and slow to appear. Stained ceilings and walls, peeled paint, damaged plaster are all easily recognized and repairable when weather again permits. But other damage is not as obvious and often goes unchecked until very expensive repairs become urgently necessary. Here is how to avoid these frosty formations, and what you should do if they do appear on your roof or cause damage inside your home:

What Are Ice Dams?

An ice dam is a wall of ice that forms at the edge of the roof, usually at the gutters or soffit. When it forms, the water then backs up behind the ice dam and creates a pool of water. This pool of water can leak into your home and cause damage to walls, ceilings, insulation, and flooring.

What Causes Ice Dams?

Ice dams are usually caused by heavy snowfall and improper ventilation in the attic. When the roofing system isn’t working right, indoor heat can rise through the ceiling into the attic and warm the roof surface. Snow on the heated part of the roof melts and flows down until it meets the part of the roof that is below freezing. At that point, the water freezes again. This process of thawing and refreezing is what causes an ice dam.

How to Identify Ice Dams

Below freezing temperatures come with warning signs on the exterior of your home. Here are some warning signs:

Exterior Signs

  • Icicles are usually one of the first warning signs of possible ice dams on your roof – especially if they are large, about 2 to 3 inches or more in diameter.
  • Ice buildup at the roof eaves
  • A buckled drip edge
  • Bowed face boards
  • Bowed exterior faucets

Interior Signs

  • Bubbling paint
  • Buckling joint tape
  • Smells/odors of moisture
  • Bowing baseboards
  • Dark stains on hardwood floors
  • Signs of mold, mildew, and air quality
  • Stained ceilings and walls

Preventing Ice Dams

If you think your home may be prone to experiencing an ice dam situation this winter, it’s a good idea to investigate the current condition of your home. Here are a few suggestions for preventing ice dams:

  • Check your roof for air leaks.
  • Ensure your home is well insulated. A well-ventilated attic is a cold attic, and a cold attic will not support the formation of ice dams.
  • Look for signs of inadequate ventilation. If you spot rust spots, rusty nails or a mildew smell these are all signals that moisture has formed on the inside of your roof.
  • Keep gutters clear of leaves and debris. A clogged gutter causes ice and snow to build up.
  • Install snow and ice slides. The slick metal allows snow to slide off the roof before it can melt and spawn an ice dam.
  • Don’t let snow accumulate. Consult a roofing professional to remove snow accumulation from your roof.
  • Inspect your roof regularly for signs of ice dams forming.

If you experience water damage from ice dams and melting snow this winter, call SERVPRO of Northern Rhode Island at (401) 949-9955 to discuss your options and figure out a plan to keep your home and family safe. Our trained technicians can assess the damage caused by the ice dam and work with your insurance company to get all the problems fixed.

Rhode Island Weather Alert Information

9/12/2018 (Permalink)

As the last few months have shown, weather in Northern Rhode Island, as well as across the state for that matter, has been all over the place. To better prepare yourself for swift and immediate evacuation in case for an emergency, here are three basic weather terms you should be aware of.

Warning

A warning is issued when a hazardous weather or hydrologic event is occurring, imminent or likely. A warning means weather conditions pose a threat to life or property. People in the path of the storm need to take protective action.

Watch

A watch is used when the risk of a hazardous weather or hydrologic event has increased significantly, but its occurrence, location or timing is still uncertain. It is intended to provide enough lead time so those who need to set their plans in motion can do so. A watch means that hazardous weather is possible. People should have a plan of action in case a storm threatens and they should listen for later information and possible warnings especially when planning travel or outdoor activities.

Advisory

An advisory is issued when a hazardous weather or hydrologic event is occurring, imminent or likely. Advisories are for less serious conditions than warnings that cause significant inconvenience and if caution is not exercised, could lead to situations that may threaten life or property. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call at (401) 949-9955 or visit our website.

The final steps are cleaning and restoring your business to its previous glory. From cleaning, sanitizing and deodorizing to installing new carpet and drywall, you won’t even realize that any damage has ever occurred.

What is a Severe Thunderstorm?

6/22/2016 (Permalink)

A severe thunderstorm is a storm that produces a tornado, reaching winds of at least 58 mph, and or hail at least ¾ inches in diameter. Structural wind damage may imply the occurrence of a severe thunderstorm. A thunderstorm wind equal to or greater than 40 mph and or hail of at least ½ inches is defined as approaching severe.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch

This is issued by the National Weather Service when conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. The size of the watch can vary depending on the weather situation. They are usually issued for a duration of 4 to 8 hours. They are normally issued well in advance of the actual occurrence of severe weather. During the watch, people should review safety rules and be prepared to move to a place of safety if threatening weather approaches.

Severe Thunderstorm Warning

This is issued when either a severe thunderstorm is indicated by the WSR 88D radar or a spotter reports a thunderstorm producing hail ¾ inch or larger in diameter and or winds equal or exceed 58 miles an hour; therefore, people in the affected area should seek safe shelter immediately. Severe thunderstorms can produce tornadoes with little or no advance warning. Lightning frequency is not a requirement for issuing a severe thunderstorm warning. They are usually issued for a duration of one hour. They can be issued without a Severe Thunderstorm Watch being already in effect.

If your home suffers any damage from a thunderstorm, do no hesitate to give us a call at (401) 949-9955 or visit our website.
