Storms with high winds and rain can cause your roof to leak. Here is what you should do

Storms with high winds and heavy rain often cause leaking roofs which can cause significant damage to your home or office. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you manage the situation effectively.

Assess the Damage

Check for visible leaks and water pooling. Use buckets to catch dripping water and prevent further damage to your ceilings and floors.

Safety First

Ensure your safety by avoiding electrical hazards. If water is near electrical outlets, shut off power to affected areas.

Contact a Water Restoration Company

A professional water restoration service can provide immediate assistance. We offer temporary tarping to cover your roof and prevent further water intrusion until a permanent repair can be scheduled.

Water Extraction

We will conduct a thorough water extraction process to remove standing water from your home. This step is crucial to prevent mold growth and structural damage.

Drying Equipment

Our team will set up specialized drying equipment to facilitate fast drying of your home. This equipment is essential for reducing moisture levels and safeguarding your property.

Document the Damage from the Storm with High Winds and Rain

Take photos of the damage for insurance purposes. Document any roof damage from the storm and high winds.  Videos of rain leaking inside the home from the roof can be sent to your adjuster. This documentation can help expedite your claim.

Insurance Coordination

We work closely with your insurance company to negotiate costs and ensure you receive the necessary coverage for repairs. Understanding your policy can also streamline the claims process.

Permanent Repairs after Leaking Roof

After the water extraction and drying process, we can assist in coordinating permanent repairs to your roof and interior, restoring your home to its original condition. A temporary tarp can help prevent more water from leaking into your home.
