Types of Storm Damage
Wind Damage
Wind can wreak havoc on your home, causing issues like torn-off shingles, broken windows, or structural damage to sidings. We are adept at assessing wind damage and initiating immediate repairs to safeguard your property from further complications like water intrusion. Wind Damage can be caused by winds that are in excess of 50 MPH.
Flood Damage
Floods can lead to devastating effects on homes, resulting in ruined appliances, structural damage to walls and floors, and potential mold growth. We offer flood cleanup services, including water and sewage removal, drying and dehumidifying your space, and repairing any structural damage to restore your home back to its original state. Flood storm damage happens when creeks, rivers, streams, or lakes overflow. If left untreated the moisture from this water can begin to grow mold as well as cause problems with your foundation, drywall, flooring, and personal belongings.
Lightning Damage
Lightning strikes can cause severe damage to your home, including electrical fires or compromised structural integrity. Our team is skilled at assessing and addressing lightning damage, whether it’s repairing fire damage, checking electrical systems, or ensuring your home’s structure is safe. Usually if lightning hits your home, it will travel through wiring, plumbing, cable, telephone lines, antennas, or satellite dishes. It can ruin electrical appliances and cause other problems with plumbing, or structural damages to property. Restore Pros has a licensed electrician on staff, so you can feel confident that the repair will be done correctly and meet all code requirements.
Hail Damage
Hail can cause significant damage to your roof, sidings, and windows. Restore Pros’ professionals are experienced in identifying and repairing hail damage, ensuring your home’s protective barriers are robust and your interiors remain safe and dry. The most common area of the home to receive hail damage is the roof. If left alone, hail damage can allow water to leak through into your home, producing a host of problems. Call Restore Pros for a roof inspection to determine if repair is needed.

Storms often lead to fallen trees or branches, which can cause extensive damage to your property. We offer quick and efficient cleanup of tree debris and any associated damage to your home’s structure. Our team is adept at dealing with such emergencies, making sure the damage is effectively repaired and your home’s safety is restored. Tree Damage can occur during ice, snow, or windstorms. When a tree is affected by any of these elements, it can end up falling on a home. If something like this happens, call Restore Pros trusted team to remove the tree, tarp the roof and board up any openings. Then we can begin the home repairs necessary to make your home look good as new.

Wet carpet can harbor bacteria depending on the type of water it was flooded with, and the amount of time it has been wet. It can also begin to delaminate, which can prevent it from being re-installed. In all cases the wet pad needs to be removed and replaced. On occasion the carpet can be dried without replacing, but it needs to have a new pad underneath. Always make sure the carpet is completely dry before relaying it on the pad. In most cases, the carpet should be fully replaced, too.
