The Metro Detroit area has the occasional ferocious summer storm. Late spring, well into summer is prime time for tornadoes, floods, thunderstorms, and fires. The SERVPRO of Dearborn team is here for any natural disaster befalling our area.

• Tornadoes– Tornadoes are characterized by whirling winds and debris which can endanger life and property. They are common from spring until the middle of summer but can occur any time of the year.
• Floods– Floods are becoming more common in the U.S., with flash floods as the top weather-related killer. Heavy rains and overloaded storm drains can cause floods. A few inches of water could bring extensive damage to homes and buildings.
• Fires– The heat of the summer, ongoing droughts and lightning strikes can precipitate fire massive fires. Downed power lines are a frequent cause of summer fires.
