When lightening struck this Lowell homeowner contacted SERVPRO to mitigate the damage.

Lightening struck this Lowell, Indiana home destroying the roof and damaging all of the rooms inside. The customer was quick to call SERVPRO of Benton, Jasper, Newton & Southern Lake Counties to mitigate the damage. Our certified technicians responded promptly to begin the cleanup. First they removed the falling drywall to prevent anyone from getting hurt. Then they extracted the standing water to prevent it from further soaking into the building materials and causing mold to grow. They also contacted the customer's insurance company to help the claims process run smoothly and confirm that insurance was aware of all the actions being taken to prevent further damage. The customer was ecstatic with SERVPRO's response time, especially considering it was a storm where many of his neighbors' basements were flooding from the heavy rainfall.
