Gear Up for Storm Repairs with High-Quality Equipment from Pro Star Rental

Storms and natural disasters can cause an average of $18 billion in damage annually, according to a recent report from Forbes. You may think you’re safe if you are landlocked, but guess again. Recent disasters have shown us that they are no longer just confined to coastal regions; now those living inland are also increasingly suffering the effects of these storms. With hurricane season in full swing, it's crucial to be aware of the resources available to you if a storm damages your property. That’s wherePro Star Rental comes in. We have the equipment to take care of any necessary repairs caused by storms. Let’s take a look!

1. Waste Removal

With most storms come strong winds that can scatter debris, knock down trees, and litter your property with unwanted materials. Before you begin removing the waste, consider the following steps:

• Consult with Pro Star Rental: Explain the type and size of debris to the experts at Pro Star Rental. They can recommend the right equipment for your specific needs. For example, you might need a tall ladder to inspect the roof, a backpack blower to clear and clean up areas, or a brush cutter to clear smaller debris from your lawn or driveway or a mini excavator or skid steer to move bigger debris out of the way. A dump trailer may also come in handy for hauling away branches and other items from the storm.
• Ensure Safety: Make sure your work area is safe and that you're equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE) such as hard hats, gloves, safety glasses, and closed-toe shoes before operating any equipment.

Whatever your waste removal needs, we have the right equipment and expertise to help you clear your property to get it back to or even better than it was before. But it doesn’t stop there.

2. Water Extraction and Drying

We know that when it rains, it pours. Heavy rainfall can lead to flooding in your home, particularly in the basement. If this happens to you, first and foremost consult with a remediation company to remove any contaminated materials and dry the area to prevent mold growth. After that, it's time to call your friends at Pro Star Rental for the necessary tools.

If any part of your property is at risk of flooding, here are four steps to expedite the drying process:

• Equip Yourself: Put on your PPE before you begin to remove the water.
• Start Low: Begin at the lowest point of the flood, directing water outside or into a drainage system.
• Dry the Area: Discard unsalvageable materials and use fans and dehumidifiers to speed up the drying process. Keep windows and doors open, weather permitting, to aid with ventilation.
• Prepare for Renovations: Once the space is dry, you can move on to any necessary repairs or renovations. And you can consult with us about any equipment you may need to assist you with these renovations and repairs
