Who doesn’t enjoy a good storm? One of the best feelings is a raging rain, thunder booming, lightning illuminating the sky all while the family is snuggled together enjoying some candlelight and a game of Scrabble. The calm that is supposed to come after the storm does not always come. Sometimes after the storm real work comes along in the form of storm restorations and storm repair. Emergency restoration service companies spend the time during the storm preparing for the cleanup that will need to occur after the storm.

So much damage can occur to a home during a home. Water damage, fire damage, wind damage, hail damage all this and more can occur when a ferocious storm boroughs through your area. Nature is one powerful beast. Storm damage is fierce. Storms come in and with them they bring all of their ferociousness with them damaging your home. Where does a homeowner turn once a storm has wreaked havoc on one of their biggest investments?

The first call to make when a storm has caused damage to your home is your homeowner’s insurance carrier. From there it is inevitable they will come out for an ...
... onsite inspection of the damage and instruct you to call a flood/fire/storm restoration company. The emergency restoration company will develop an action plan to restore the property to its original state.

Water damage in particular needs to be handles by the professional. If an area affected by water damage and extend moisture is not treated correctly and dried thoroughly mold and mildew can quickly set in. Water damage is simple to clean and react to in comparison then what is involved with mold removal. Mold restoration is necessary as any mold left to grow will spread quickly and can lead to health problems such as headaches, runny eyes and noses, and coughing; or trigger attacks in kids and adults with asthma. These are all very serious issues.

Most of the time storms wreak havoc on the outside of the home. Some common damage from storms is siding damage or ripped off, broken window, down wires and fallen trees. All of which can be handled with the help of storm remediation. It s important that homeowners resist the urge to start cleaning up after the storm, downed power lines and fallen trees can still conduct large amount of electricity.

Another reason to resist immediately going out and beginning to clean up after the storm passes and the damage is done is because professionals will come in and board up, tarp the roof and pack up for homeowners. This will keep homeowners safe while the insurance company and restoration specialist put the home back to its original state.

It is important to remember that no matter the size of the storm, damage can be done to your home that is sufficient enough to call in the specialists. After a storm has passed through your area check your home inside and out to ensure damage has not been done. Don’t always assume that when a small storm passes nothing could be wrong with your home. The last time we assumed our home was fine and we did not check on it we woke up in the morning with a tree on our shed. Don’t assume ever after a storm check out to see if damage has been done.
