Signs to look for
Room by room, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
To help your home recover, that means multiple breaches or one breach feeding several paths.
For a practical next step, wind driven rain enters an opening at volume, not a trickle.
Room by room, wind lifts shingles and rain follows the same direction it came from. For a practical next step, the wet ceiling is usually on the side the storm hit.
To help your home recover, torn cladding gives sideways rain a direct path into the wall assembly.
Room by room, vents are designed for air, not for horizontal water. Room by room, after a high wind event they are one of the most common ways water reaches an attic.
After you describe the problem, that is water at grade rather than rain from above, and it is a different peril on your policy.
What happens
Our home recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Room by room, power to the affected area goes off before anyone enters.
For a practical next step, we walk every elevation and the roof line and list each opening: roof breach, broken window, torn siding, failed soffit, gable vent, garage door.
Room by room, openings get covered and sealed so the next band of weather does not add a second loss.
To help your home recover, rain that entered through a wind created opening and water that rose at grade are documented as different events.
After you describe the problem, submersible pumps move the bulk from a flooded level and a truck mounted extractor pulls water from carpet and hard floors.
For a practical next step, sideways rain loads assemblies that look untouched from the room. To help your home recover, we read them with a moisture meter and open what holds water.
