Storm Damage Restoration

After a storm, the first job is to stop more water getting in. We tarp roofs, board up broken windows and doors, extract water and dry the structure, then help with repairs and the insurance claim.

Storm damage we handle

• Roof leaks and missing shingles
• Wind-driven rain through windows, siding and doors
• Fallen trees and limbs
• Basement flooding and sump pump failure during power outages
• Ice dams and winter storm damage

Emergency tarping and board-up

A damaged roof or a broken window lets in more water every time it rains. Our crews tarp roofs, cover openings and board up broken windows and doors around the clock, which protects your home and shows your insurer you took reasonable steps to prevent further damage, something most policies require.

Storm water removal and structural drying

Once the building is secure, we extract standing water, pull out wet carpet pad and insulation that cannot be saved, and dry walls, floors and framing with commercial dehumidifiers and air movers. Moisture meters and thermal imaging show us where water traveled inside walls and ceilings, so we dry everything, not just what you can see.

New England storms we see every year

• Nor’easters with wind-driven rain and heavy, wet snow that loads roofs
• Ice dams that push meltwater under shingles and into ceilings and walls
• Summer thunderstorms with downed trees, hail and power outages that stop sump pumps
• Tropical storms and spring thaws that raise groundwater and flood basements

Storm damage insurance claims

Wind, hail and fallen-tree damage are usually covered by homeowners policies, while flooding from rising surface water usually needs separate flood insurance. We photograph the damage, record moisture readings and send a detailed line-item estimate to your adjuster. On covered claims we can bill your insurer directly. See insurance claims help.

Commercial storm response

For businesses and property managers we prioritize getting you secure and open again, with after-hours crews and documentation for commercial policies. See commercial restoration.
