Storm Damage Restoration Work in 28768
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.
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.
Emergency Board Up Services
Board-up closes openings left by flying debris or a fallen limb, which keeps the next round of rain out of rooms already being dried.
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.
Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration
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.
Water in the Basement
Water on the basement floor or seeping through walls after heavy rain means storm runoff found its way inside.

Power Outages

Your Storm Damage Restoration Questions Answered
How soon should storm cleanup start?
As soon as it is safe. Wet drywall, carpet and insulation can start to grow mold in 24 to 48 hours, and open roofs and windows let in more rain.
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.
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.
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.
