Understanding the Impact of Storm Damage
Storms can cause a wide range of damage, depending on the intensity and type of weather event. Identifying the specific types of damage your property has sustained is crucial for developing an effective repair plan. Some of the most common types of storm damage include:
Roof Damage
The roof is often the first line of defense against the elements, making it particularly vulnerable to storm damage. High winds can tear off shingles or tiles, leaving the underlayment exposed to the elements. Hail can cause dents and cracks, weakening the roof’s structure and leading to leaks. Fallen trees and branches can cause significant structural damage, potentially requiring extensive repairs or even roof replacement. Even seemingly minor roof damage should be addressed promptly, as it can quickly escalate into more serious problems, such as water damage and mold growth.
Water Damage
Water damage is a common consequence of storm damage, often resulting from leaks in the roof, damaged windows, or flooding. Water can seep into walls, floors, and ceilings, causing structural damage, fostering mold growth, and damaging personal belongings. Prompt water extraction and drying are essential to prevent further damage and mitigate the risk of mold infestation. Our team utilizes specialized equipment and techniques to thoroughly dry affected areas and prevent long-term problems.
Wind Damage
High winds can cause a variety of damage, from tearing off siding and gutters to breaking windows and doors. Wind-blown debris can also cause significant damage to property exteriors, landscaping, and vehicles. Strong winds can even compromise the structural integrity of a building, especially if it is already weakened by age or previous damage. Addressing wind damage promptly is crucial to prevent further deterioration and ensure the safety of occupants.
Hail Damage
Hailstorms can cause significant damage to roofs, siding, windows, and vehicles. The size and density of the hail determine the extent of the damage. Hail can dent metal surfaces, crack shingles and tiles, and break windows. Even seemingly minor hail damage can weaken materials and lead to leaks or other problems over time. A thorough inspection is necessary to assess the full extent of hail damage and determine the appropriate repair strategy.
Flood Damage
Flooding can occur as a result of heavy rainfall, overflowing rivers, or coastal storm surges. Floodwater can contaminate buildings with sewage, chemicals, and other hazardous materials. It can also cause significant structural damage, including foundation cracks and wall collapses. Flood damage requires specialized cleaning and restoration techniques to ensure the safety and health of occupants. Our team is equipped to handle flood damage of all types and sizes, from minor flooding to complete inundation.
Tree Damage
Storms can uproot trees or break branches, causing damage to property, power lines, and vehicles. Fallen trees can crush roofs, damage siding, and block access to buildings. Broken branches can also pose a safety hazard and require removal. Our team provides tree removal and debris cleanup services to safely and efficiently address tree damage caused by storms.

Maintain Your Roof
Regularly inspect your roof for signs of damage, such as missing or damaged shingles, cracks, and leaks. Repair any damage promptly to prevent further deterioration.
Trim Trees and Shrubs
Trim trees and shrubs to prevent branches from falling on your property during a storm. Remove any dead or diseased trees that could pose a safety hazard.
Secure Outdoor Objects
Secure outdoor objects, such as patio furniture, grills, and trash cans, to prevent them from being blown away by high winds. Store these items in a garage or shed during a storm.
Clean Gutters and Downspouts
Clean gutters and downspouts regularly to ensure that they are free of debris. Clogged gutters can cause water to back up and damage your roof and siding.
Install Storm Shutters
Consider installing storm shutters to protect your windows from high winds and flying debris.
Reinforce Garage Doors
Reinforce your garage door to prevent it from being blown in by high winds. Garage doors are often the weakest point of a building during a storm.
