On Two Fronts: Restoring Water and Hail Damage in Lindsay, ON

When confronted with natural disasters, the combined impact of water and hail can inflict unparalleled damage upon a homeowner’s property. The devastating duo has the potential to unleash a perfect storm of destruction, causing extensive harm to both the exterior and interior of a home. If these two forces strike simultaneously, the repercussions can be catastrophic, necessitating significant restoration work to address the aftermath.

In such cases, contacting a professional property restoration company is the best course of action. They have the expertise and equipment to handle large-scale restoration projects effectively.

Facing the Challenge of Water and Hail Damage

In early August 2023, we received a call from a Lindsay, ON, homeowner. During a significant hail storm in the area, one of their water supply lines that leads into an upstairs bathroom had burst. Through sheer coincidence, they suffered extensive water and hail damage throughout the interior and exterior of their home. The double whammy of disasters was overwhelming.

When we arrived on the scene, we assessed all the affected areas. The hail had damaged most of the shingled roof, aluminum siding, and personal vehicles on the exterior. Inside the home, the water damage spread from the upstairs bathroom across the upper floor and downwards into the main floor and basement as well.

The upstairs water damage was extensive, leaving countless stains and degrading building materials.

Three floors of the home were compromised by water damage. Due to the extent of the home’s interior, the residents needed to move out temporarily before we could begin our remediation and restoration work. Our crew faced an immense challenge ahead on multiple fronts, but we persevered.

The Restoration Begins

Our team decided to start with restoring the home’s interior water damage. Many of the home’s building materials were saturated, including floors, ceilings, cabinetry, and drywall. As a result, many of these materials required removal by our trained technicians. From there, we could begin drying any salvageable materials and the now-exposed structural features of the home.

We embarked on a formidable endeavour, placing state-of-the-art dehumidifiers and air movers strategically throughout the home. With meticulous attention to detail, our team conducted daily inspections employing moisture meters, ensuring a thorough and precise drying process across all interior spaces. When the drying phase concluded, we applied an anti-microbial solution across all surfaces, inhibiting any potential for mould growth.

The drying process included the use of dehumidifiers and air movers throughout the home.

As of this blog’s publication, the remaining exterior restoration work from the hail damage and numerous inspections continue, with our work expected to finish this month. Despite the job’s complexity, we’d like to acknowledge the hard work of our dedicated technicians. We appreciate their commitment to ensuring the homeowners return to a safe and comfortable dwelling. Keep up the fantastic work, team!
