What Storm Damage Restoration Covers in 50007

Storm Damage Water Extraction

Rainwater that came in through a roof, window or door is removed from floors, carpet and the space under cabinets before it soaks into walls.

Storm Flooded Basement Cleanup

Storm water that floods a basement is pumped out, wet carpet and drywall are removed and the slab and walls are cleaned and dried.

Wind-Driven Rain Drying

Strong wind pushes rain sideways through window frames, vents and siding joints. The pros dry the wall cavities and floors that this water reached.

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

When siding is torn or cracked in a storm, rain gets into the wall. The inside is dried while the outside is covered until it can be repaired.

How to Tell a Storm Let Water Inside

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.

Mud or Debris Indoors

Mud, leaves or glass inside the house mean storm water came in from outside and floors need cleaning as well as drying.

Musty Smell After Heavy Rain

A damp smell that was not there before the storm usually means wet insulation, carpet pad or wall cavities.

Bubbling Paint on Exterior Walls

Paint that bubbles on the inside of an exterior wall after a storm points to water that got behind the siding.

How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 50007

Step 1: Secure the Building

Broken windows and doors are boarded up and roof damage is tarped so no more rain gets in.

Step 2: Remove Debris

Mud, glass, branches and wet insulation that came inside are cleared so the floors and walls can be reached.

Step 3: Storm Damage Water Extraction

Water is removed from floors, carpet and under cabinets with pumps and extractors, starting where it is deepest.

Step 4: Dry and Monitor

Air movers and dehumidifiers run while the pros take daily readings, until walls and floors match dry areas.

Where Storm Water Gets Into a House

Power Outages

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

Roof Damage From Wind

High winds lift and tear shingles and flashing, exposing the roof deck to rain that soaks into the attic.

Hail Impact

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

Flying Debris

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

Your Storm Damage Restoration Questions Answered

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.

Should debris be removed before the adjuster visits?

Take photos and video first. Your insurer can tell you what to keep for the adjuster, but wet debris inside the house may need to be removed to prevent more damage.

Can wet carpet be saved after a storm?

Often, if it got wet from rain through a roof or window and is extracted and dried quickly. Carpet soaked by floodwater from outside is usually replaced.

Is storm water dirty?

Rain coming through a roof is usually clean at first. Water that came in from outside across the ground is treated as dirty and needs cleaning as well as drying.

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 (515) 575-2930 for board-up, tarping and drying.
