Storm water damage usually starts at the roof, windows, or siding. High winds lift shingles, hail cracks flashing, and rain finds its way into attics and walls. Restoration means stopping more water from entering, then drying and repairing everything it reached.

Climbing a wet, damaged roof is dangerous. A professional tarp is safer and more likely to hold. Many policies cover reasonable emergency tarping costs.
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.
