Hurricane Florence Clean Up

Hurricane Florence is currently hitting North Carolina, and that means many homes will be damaged and flooded. Some may even be swept away. When it’s time for cleanup, it’s time to contact Tar Heel Foundation Solutions. We will help you get your home back into shape, safe, and comfortable for your family. How can we help?

Wind and Water Are Your Biggest Enemy

During a hurricane, the wind and water are your biggest enemies. When the hurricane makes landfall, it brings with it very high-speed winds (Hurricane Florence currently has about 80 mph wind, classifying it as a Category 1 hurricane). These winds can damage your home in three ways. The first is by the sheer force. When something that strong pushes against your home, it may not be able to take it because it isn’t strong enough. Windows may break out or walls may cave in. These winds can also carry debris as they make their way along the land. Debris could be anything from soil and leaves to stop signs, cars, or anything else–depending on the strength of the storm.

The third way winds can damage your home is through water. Water is not only going to be coming up through the storm surge, but it is also carried in the hurricane itself and will batter your home. Hurricane Florence is moving very slowly through North Carolina towards South Carolina, and it is causing a lot of damage along the way. Water is not a good thing when your home has already been damaged by high winds.

How to Clean Up the Mess

While this is looking into the future, it’s important that when you get back to your home after the storm is over that you look closely around your foundation and at your entire home. Foundation damage may not be readily visible at first glance, but you may have serious problems from Hurricane Florence. If you were lucky enough to not have any water come in, you may still have sustained damage to your walls or your foundation. Check over these carefully, or better yet–call one of the experts at Tar Heel Foundation Solutions–and make sure that your home is safe to continue living in.
