We understand how devastating storm damage can be to your property. Knowing the types of storm damage that can affect your property is crucial in preparing for and responding to these events. Here, we talk about the main types of storm damage your property could suffer and how we can help restore and protect your investments
Wind Damage
Heavy winds can wreak havoc on properties, causing significant damage in a short period. Strong winds can break windows, cause roof damage, and topple trees, leading to further destruction. To mitigate wind damage, it is essential to secure loose items around your property and ensure that your roof and windows are in good condition.
Water Damage
Water damage is one of the most common consequences of severe storms. Heavy rainfall can lead to flooding, causing water to infiltrate walls and other vulnerable areas. Water intrusion can result in structural damage, electrical hazards, and mold growth if not addressed promptly. We offer comprehensive water removal and drying services to prevent long-term damage and restore affected areas quickly.
Hail Damage
Hailstorms can cause substantial damage to your property. It often affects roofs, siding, and windows. The impact of hailstones can dent metal surfaces, crack shingles, and shatter glass. This leaves your property exposed to further weather-related damage. Our team at Total Restoration conducts thorough inspections to assess hail damage and provides necessary repairs to protect your property from additional harm.
Lightning Damage
Lightning strikes pose a significant risk during storms. They can potentially cause fires, power surges, and electrical system failures. A direct hit can ignite flammable materials, and power surges can damage electrical appliances and systems. Our expertise in fire restoration and electrical repairs ensures that we can handle the aftermath of lightning strikes efficiently.
Tornado Damage
Tornadoes bring some of the most severe and unpredictable storm damage. They often result in catastrophic destruction. Properties in the path of a tornado can suffer from extreme structural damage, debris impact, and roof destruction. Rapid response is critical in these situations. We are ready to provide comprehensive tornado damage restoration services, so you can recover as quickly as possible.
What to Do to Prepare For a Storm
While all these types of damage are something you can’t control, what you can control is prepping for a tropical storm or hurricane before it gets here. Preparation is key to minimizing storm damage. Secure outdoor furniture and equipment to prevent them from becoming dangerous projectiles in high winds. Reinforce windows and doors with storm shutters or plywood, and ensure doors, especially garage doors, are sturdy and have strong locks.
Regularly inspect your roof for loose or damaged shingles and clear gutters of debris to prevent water overflow. Trim trees and shrubs to reduce the risk of falling branches causing damage. Additionally, secure fences and sheds, and inspect your property’s foundation for cracks.
