Our Storm Damage Recovery Process

Storm recovery starts with stopping further water from entering and ends with a fully dried home. Our process:

• Assess the damage and secure any openings letting water in, so cleanup is not undone by the next band of rain.
• Extract standing water and remove saturated materials that cannot be saved.
• Dry the structure with commercial air movers and dehumidifiers.
• Clean, sanitize, and monitor moisture daily until the home is dry to standard.

Because storm water is often contaminated, we treat it as such and sanitize the affected areas rather than just drying them.

Common Storm-Related Damage We Handle

A single storm can cause water damage in several ways. We regularly recover homes from:

• Roof leaks from wind-driven rain or damaged shingles
• Water intrusion through windows and doors
• Basement flooding from overwhelmed drains and sump pumps
• Foundation seepage after saturated ground
• Fallen limbs that open the roof or walls to water
• Backed-up gutters and downspouts sending water inside

Whatever the storm damaged, the priority is the same: stop the water, dry the home, and prevent the mold and rot that follow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do right after storm water gets in?

Stay safe and avoid standing water near electrical sources. If you can safely cover a broken window or roof opening, it helps. Then call for cleanup. The sooner water removal and drying begin, the less secondary damage your home takes on.

Do you handle the water damage or the roof too?

We handle the water damage, cleanup, and drying, and we can secure openings so more water does not get in. Structural roof repairs are typically done by a roofer, and we coordinate so the cleanup is not undone by ongoing leaks.

Is storm water treated differently than a clean leak?

Yes. Storm water is often contaminated with soil and debris, so we treat it as unsanitary. That means removing affected porous materials and sanitizing surfaces, not just drying them, so your home is genuinely clean and safe afterward.

Will insurance cover storm damage cleanup?

Storm-related water damage is often covered, though it depends on the source and your policy. We work with all insurance carriers and document everything for your adjuster. Reach out to your carrier early so the claim gets started quickly.

How quickly can you get here after a storm?

We respond 24/7 and prioritize storm calls, since many homes are affected at once and water keeps spreading. We get a certified crew out as fast as we can to begin securing the home and starting cleanup and drying.
