Storm Damage Restoration Services in 20169

Emergency Board Up Services

Plywood is fastened over broken glass and damaged doors right after the storm. It stays until the window or door can be replaced.

Hail Damage Leak Cleanup

After a hailstorm, leaks may not show for days. Ceiling stains and wet insulation are checked and dried, and the damaged spots are noted for the roofer.

Debris Removal After Storm

Mud, broken glass, wet insulation and branches that came into the house are cleared so extraction and drying can reach the floors and walls.

Wall Cavity Drying After Storms

Water that gets behind siding or stucco can soak insulation and the back of the drywall. The pros find it with meters and dry the cavity.

Storm Damage Water Extraction

After a storm, water is extracted room by room with pumps and extractors, starting with the areas where it is deepest.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration

Missing or Lifted Shingles

Shingles on the lawn or lifted at the edges after a storm mean the roof deck is exposed to the next rain.

Dripping From Light Fixtures

Water coming through a light or fan means it has pooled above the ceiling. Turn off that circuit and keep people clear.

Dented Vents and Skylights

Hail dents on roof vents, skylight frames or flashing can leave gaps where water gets in during the next storm.

Wet Attic Insulation

Damp or matted insulation in the attic after a storm means rain is getting past the roof deck.

How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 20169

Step 1: Safety Check

Power to wet areas is shut off and damaged ceilings or broken glass are marked so no one gets hurt during the work.

Step 2: Extract the Water

Standing water is pulled from floors and carpet, and water above ceilings is drained so it does not keep dripping.

Step 3: Wind-Driven Rain Drying

Exterior walls that took wind-driven rain are checked with meters and opened where needed so the cavities can dry.

Step 4: Final Readings

When walls, floors and framing read dry, equipment is removed and repairs to the roof, windows and drywall can go ahead.

Common Causes of Storm Damage in 20169

Power Outages

Storms that knock out power stop pumps and dehumidifiers, so water that gets in stays longer than it otherwise would.

Flying Debris

Outdoor furniture, signs and branches carried by wind can break glass and doors and let rain into the home.

Hail Impact

Hail cracks shingles, skylights and vent caps, opening small gaps that leak during the storms that follow.

Flash Flooding

Sudden heavy rain can send water across yards and under doors faster than drains and gutters can carry it away.

What Storm Damage Restoration Costs in 20169

Board-up and tarping, debris removal, water extraction and drying are each priced separately, so the total depends on which ones your home needs.

Drying Time

Each extra day of air movers, dehumidifiers and moisture checks adds to the cost, especially in wet attics and wall cavities.

Rooms Affected

Each wet room needs extraction, drying equipment and moisture checks, so the number of rooms sets much of the cost.

Board-Up and Tarping

Covering broken windows, doors and roof openings adds materials and labor before drying can start.

Common Questions After Storm Damage

What should I do first after a storm damages my home?

Stay away from downed power lines, take photos, move belongings away from water and call (804) 531-4089 for board-up, tarping and drying.

Does insurance cover storm damage?

Many policies cover damage from wind and hail. Flooding from rising water outside usually needs a separate flood policy. Your insurer decides coverage.

Can hail damage cause leaks later?

Yes. Hail can crack shingles, skylights and vent caps, and those cracks may not leak until the next heavy rain.

What is emergency board-up?

Plywood is fastened over broken windows and doors so rain and wind stay out and the home is secure while it dries.

How do the pros find water inside walls after a storm?

They use moisture meters and thermal cameras along exterior walls, under windows and in the attic to find water that is not visible.
