Roof Damage After Storm Sweeps through Minneapolis Area

12/15/2020 (Permalink)

A home located in Eagan, Minnesota experienced storm damage when strong winds and heavy rains rolled through the Minneapolis area. A couple of shingles blew off during the storm, which allowed rain water to get inside the attic. The rain soaked the insulation and the drywall in the ceiling below, causing the ceiling in this home to collapse. SERVPRO® of Eagan / Apple Valley received the call and came out immediately. Our technicians applied a temporary tarp to the roof to prevent further rain from causing additional damage to the home until the roof could be repaired. Then, our professionals began extracting any standing water and removing debris from the collapsed ceiling. We set up fans and dehumidifiers throughout the house to thoroughly dry the affected areas to help to prevent secondary damage or mold from forming.
