Take Action Quickly!

Severe storms can be frightening and dangerous, and safety has to be your first priority. If your area has seen major problems, be careful. If you think your home has been structurally damaged or if flood risk remains, don’t go inside until a professional says it’s safe. Spending a few nights at a friend’s house or in an emergency shelter is a small price to pay.

Once the disaster has passed, it’s important to assess the damage and get started with cleanup and restoration. 

Here is a list of storm related damages your property may suffer from:

Hail Damage

Lightning and Thunderstorm Damage

Winter Storm Damage

Storm-related Flood Damage and Tidal Surges

High Winds, Tornadoes and Hurricane Damage

Hire a Professional 

It’s vital to repair storm damage quickly, but the risk of danger is high. Before you try making repairs yourself, work with your home insurer and hire a fully licensed and bonded professional with credentials from the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).
