Answers to Your Questions
Storms can be unpredictable, but preparing for them can make a big difference. Below are answers to some of the most common questions property owners have about storm damage restoration:
What are the most common types of storm damage to properties?
Wind, hail, and water damage are the most common, often affecting roofs, siding, windows, and basements.
How can I tell if my roof has storm damage?
Look for missing shingles, ceiling water stains, or roof debris. A professional inspection is the best way to catch hidden issues and prevent further escalation.
What should I do immediately after a storm hits my property?
Ensure your safety first, then document the damage with photos and contact a restoration professional immediately. Review your insurance policy and keep all documents handy to ensure a smooth claims filing.
Can I prevent storm damage?
While you can’t control the weather, trimming trees, maintaining your roof, and installing storm shutters can reduce the risk of damage.
How long does storm damage restoration take?
The timeline varies depending on the extent of the damage, but it typically ranges from a few days to several weeks.
Should I wait to call for help if the damage seems minor?
No, minor issues can quickly become larger, more expensive problems if left untreated. Even if you don’t suspect significant damage, contacting a restoration expert to confirm this is best rather than discovering extensive issues later.
Does homeowners’ insurance cover storm damage?
Most policies cover storm damage; however, reviewing your plan and filing a claim as soon as possible is essential.
What’s the difference between storm damage cleanup and restoration?
Cleanup removes debris and water, while restoration repairs and rebuilds damaged areas to their original condition.
Can storm damage affect my home’s foundation?
Flooding and heavy rains can lead to foundation cracks or shifting, requiring immediate attention.
Is mold a concern after storm-related water damage?
Absolutely. Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours, so prompt water removal and drying is critical.
