Restoring Property Damage After a Storm

  Your home is your shelter, and when a storm strikes, you expect to stay warm, safe, and dry. Unfortunately, storms can cause significant damage to your home and property, making restoration necessary. We provided a list to assist you in restoring property damage after a storm:

1. Ensure your safety: Safety is always priority number one. Be aware of all potential dangers. If in doubt, stay out!

2. Assess the storm damage: In most cases, storm damage will be obvious as water pours through your leaking roof or is driven by high winds through broken windows. In other cases, such as after a hail storm, the damage may be less obvious. For example, your roof may have imperceptible 'dings' in the asphalt shingles after a hail storm. These dings will slowly deteriorate, eventually causing roof damage or water leaks. You may want to have your roof inspected to ensure its integrity.

3. Mitigate the storm damage: Next, it's important to secure your home from further damage. This could mean boarding up a broken window or putting a tarp over a damaged section of the roof to keep more water from pouring in. Similarly, if your home has been flooded by a storm, not only can we extract the water and begin the dry-out process, we can help mitigate further water or mold damage with our fast response and structural drying techniques.

4. Call your insurance company and us: Significant storm damage is typically covered by your home owner's insurance policy, making it important to notify your insurance company of a loss right away. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can secure your home from further losses.
