The storm tore a section of shingles off the roof, and wind-driven rain poured into the attic for hours. Now the insulation is soaked, the bedroom ceiling has a brown stain spreading across it, and more rain is in the forecast. Storm water damage comes from above, and the first job is keeping more of it from getting in.

After a big storm, every contractor's phone rings at once, and out-of-town crews start knocking on doors. A Water Damage is a free referral service that connects you with independent, licensed and insured contractors near Taft who handle emergency tarping, drying, and interior repairs.
Roof tarps and board-up go on first, so drying is not undone by the next rain.
Contractors in the network already work around Taft, which matters when you need follow-up visits and warranty service after the trucks from out of town leave.

Damaged roof areas are covered with secured tarps to stop leaks until the roof can be repaired.
Broken windows, damaged doors, and openings from fallen limbs are boarded to keep out rain, wind, and intruders.
Wet attic insulation comes out, the decking and framing are dried, and fresh insulation is installed.
Stained or sagging ceilings are opened, dried, and replaced. Wall damage from window leaks or wind-driven rain gets the same treatment.
Rooms below the leak get full drying setups until readings show they are dry.

Luis F.Storm insurance claim

Climbing a wet, damaged roof is dangerous. A professional tarp is safer and more likely to hold. Many policies cover reasonable emergency tarping costs.
Wind-driven rain through storm damage is usually covered. Outside flooding generally requires flood insurance.
Ask for a local address, proof of license and insurance, and a written estimate. Be cautious with anyone demanding large upfront payments or pushing you to sign immediately.
Rarely. Blown-in cellulose clumps and loses its insulating value, and fiberglass can trap moisture against the decking. Most soaked insulation should be replaced.
Act within a day or two. Mold grows quickly, and the next rain adds more damage.
No. We connect you with independent local pros. Verify their license and insurance before work starts.
