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 Dublin 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 Dublin, which matters when you need follow-up visits and warranty service after the trucks from out of town leave.
Each contractor carries independent licensing and insurance. After storms, always check credentials before signing.
Contractors photograph exterior and interior damage, record moisture readings, and itemize repairs so your storm claim has solid support.

Storm restoration starts outside and works inward. Stop the leaks first, then handle the attic, ceilings, and walls.

Heavy-duty tarps are secured over damaged roof sections with battens so wind does not lift them, keeping rain out until permanent roof repairs.
Openings from broken glass or tree damage are boarded up to protect the home.
Soaked blown-in or batt insulation is removed, roof decking and rafters are dried, and the attic is checked for mold before new insulation goes in.
Water-damaged ceilings and walls are removed, dried, rebuilt, and painted.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry ceilings, walls, and floors below the leak until moisture readings confirm the structure is dry.
Tell dispatch whether rain is still getting in and where the damage is.
You will get a realistic arrival window. After major storms, you will be told if it will take longer.
Expect an outside-in inspection and a written price before work starts.
The building is tarped or boarded, the interior is dried, and ceilings, walls, and insulation are repaired.
Get the roof tarped before the next round of rain.
Wind took a chunk of shingles off, and rain came into the attic all night. They had a tarp on by noon, pulled the wet insulation, and fixed the bedroom ceiling the following week.

Luis F.Storm insurance claim

It is risky. Pros tarp safely, and emergency tarping is often covered by insurance.
Damage from wind and rain entering through a storm-damaged roof or window is often covered. Rising floodwater from outside usually is not. Check your policy with your agent.
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.
Usually not. Wet insulation loses effectiveness and can hold moisture against the roof deck.
Within 24 to 48 hours. Mold can start growing on wet insulation, drywall, and wood framing quickly, and another storm can make it worse.
No. We connect you with independent local pros. Verify their license and insurance before work starts.
