Temporary protection
A damaged roof or opening may need a tarp or board-up after safe access is established. Temporary measures reduce further exposure but are not a permanent repair. Do not climb onto a damaged roof or approach downed power lines.

Planning your storm damage cleanup and restoration project
Track water beyond the roof
Rain can travel through insulation and wall cavities before it becomes visible. Record where staining first appeared and whether water is still entering. Drying needs and damaged interior materials should be included in the assessment.
Permanent repair planning
Review roofing, exterior openings and interior repairs together. Material availability, safe working weather, permits and the extent of damage affect the schedule. Your insurer makes coverage decisions; a contractor’s estimate does not guarantee payment.

Storm Damage Cleanup and Restoration questions
3 answers found
Should I wait for insurance before stopping a leak?
Ask your insurer about reasonable temporary protection and its documentation requirements. Protect people first and seek safe assistance for active damage. Keep receipts and photos, but do not assume every measure will be reimbursed.
What information should I provide when requesting service?
Share the property address, contact details, affected areas and a brief description of your storm damage cleanup and restoration needs. Mention active damage, access restrictions, previous work and who can approve the scope. The intake receipt confirms your inquiry was saved; attendance and pricing are confirmed separately.
How are the scope and price confirmed?
The proposed work depends on site conditions, materials, access and any specialist requirements. Review a written estimate that identifies included work, exclusions and assumptions. Changes should be documented before additional work is authorized.
