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.

Contractors photograph exterior and interior damage, record moisture readings, and itemize repairs so your storm claim has solid support.

Storm water enters from above and from the sides, so the work moves from the outside in: seal the building, then dry and repair the interior.

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.
Tell dispatch whether rain is still getting in and where the damage is.
A local contractor calls with an arrival estimate. After regional storms, demand is high, and they will be honest about timing.
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.

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.
Within 24 to 48 hours. Mold can start growing on wet insulation, drywall, and wood framing quickly, and another storm can make it worse.
