How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 29388

Step 1: Emergency Roof Tarping

Floors and lower walls touched by outside water are cleaned and treated before drying to limit odor and contamination.

Step 4: Structural Drying

Where Storm Water Gets Into a House

Wind-Driven Rain

Strong winds push rain sideways into window frames, vents and siding joints that keep out normal rain.

Fallen Trees and Limbs

Branches and trees that fall on a house can open the roof or break windows, letting rain straight in.

Flash Flooding

Sudden heavy rain can send water across yards and under doors faster than drains and gutters can carry it away.

Flying Debris

Outdoor furniture, signs and branches carried by wind can break glass and doors and let rain into the home.
