In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we know many of us here in Taylors, SC and the surrounding areas are dealing with overwhelming damage. Trees are down, debris litters the streets, and water damage has ravaged homes and businesses. One report from The Weather Channel says that over two-thirds of Greenville County residents are still without power.
But even if your lights are back on, your HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems may have taken a serious hit. At Viper Services, we understand how stressful this time can be, and we’re here to help you get back on your feet. We’re one of the only home services companies still operating in the Taylors area. Our team is ready to help you in every way possible after Hurricane Helene with 24/7 emergency repair service, insurance claims, and financing options after credit approval.
Tree Damage to Electrical Systems
We are encountering many homes in Taylors with electrical panels and meters that have become detached from your home but are still transferring a live electrical current. Do not go near these! If your electrical meter box has been damaged, it’s important to get it repaired by before your power can be restored, but you need a licensed electrical contractor to do it safely. Damage to electrical meters and overhead wires can create a life-threatening hazard, especially if they are still “hot” with electricity.
Even if your utility company has managed to restore power to the grid locally in Taylors, your home might still not have electricity. That’s because repairs to your home’s electrical equipment are considered to be your responsibility to fix as the homeowner. This includes components like the meter box, mast, weatherhead, all attachment hardware, and sometimes even overhead wires.
The extreme rain, winds, and flooding caused by Hurricane Helene have ravaged this equipment at many homes and businesses. If your meter box was damaged by the storm, we have appointments available to book an expert to come assess and repair it. Repairs will be done promptly after the assessment, and we’ll help you get back up and running as soon as possible.
HVAC Equipment Damaged by Wind and Fallen Trees
One major issue we’re seeing right now in the wake of Hurricane Helen is damage to HVAC equipment caused by the hurricane. Fallen trees, powerful winds, and flying debris can wreak havoc on your outdoor HVAC units. If your HVAC system has been compromised, it’s important to get it inspected and repaired quickly—especially if the weather turns sour again following a major storm like this.
In some cases, we’ve seen entire trees fall onto homes, damaging multiple HVAC components. The outdoor condenser unit, the roof of the home, and the ductwork underneath can all be damaged or destroyed by a tree or large branch. If this has happened to you, your HVAC system may not be running properly or even be working at all. We can repair or replace the condenser unit and fix the damaged ductwork to restore proper airflow in your home. Just keep in mind that if there is damage to your roof from fallen branches, that typically will need to get fixed before we can get to fixing your HVAC ductwork.
We offer free estimates for all HVAC repairs. Our goal is to make this process as stress-free as possible for you. If your HVAC equipment is damaged, reach out to us, and we’ll have a technician assess the situation and provide you with a detailed estimate at no cost.
Working with Your Insurance Company
We know that dealing with insurance claims is probably the last thing you want to handle right now. That’s why we’re here to help you every step of the way. We’ll work directly with your insurance company to make sure you get the coverage you’re entitled to.
With our extensive experience dealing with natural disaster claims, we understand the processes and documentation required. That hopefully means less stress for you during this difficult time. We’ll assist you in putting in your claim with the insurance company, doing everything we can that everything is handled correctly and promptly and your repairs are taken care of.
