Spring is Storm Season in the Western New York Area

We are all very excited about the warmth and beautiful weather that spring brings . Spring can also bring storms. Rain, wind and flooding can occur. The following are the most common storms we see in our area. If you have damage to your home or business from these devastating storms, call SERVPRO of Eastern Niagara County (716) 694-7776 and we will make it “Like it never even happened.”

Hail Storms

• Hailstorm causes the greatest amount of damage to the exterior of your home or property. Common types of damage caused by hail are: roof damage, siding damage, shingle damage, window damage and automobile damage.

Thunderstorms

• Thunderstorms can produce many types of damaging weather such as lightning, hail, tornadoes,  winds, flooding and more. The biggest contributors to damaged property are likely hail and wind, which can cause many types of exterior property damage. Heavy rains from thunderstorms can cause flooding in homes an in the streets.

Tornadoes

• Even tornadoes  are uncommon, they can happen in the Western New York area. 

Lightning

• You may be surprised to learn that lightning is a major cause of storm damage in many areas around the country.  Lightning that hits trees and the ground is a common cause of wildfires, structure fires, property damage and power outages. Lightning can also cause power outages.

Floods

• Floods are typically the result of heavy rain and water that rises faster than storm drains can handle. Flash floods driven by quick,heavy bursts of rain can flood homes, basements and businesses. This can cause serious damage to both interiors and exteriors.
