Storm Damage Restoration Work in 33144
Storm Damage Water Extraction
After a storm, water is extracted room by room with pumps and extractors, starting with the areas where it is deepest.
Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
After a hailstorm, leaks may not show for days. Ceiling stains and wet insulation are checked and dried, and the damaged spots are noted for the roofer.
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
When high winds drive rain into a home, water often runs down inside exterior walls. Meters find it, and drywall is opened where needed to dry it.
Debris Removal After Storm
Mud, broken glass, wet insulation and branches that came into the house are cleared so extraction and drying can reach the floors and walls.
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
When siding is torn or cracked in a storm, rain gets into the wall. The inside is dried while the outside is covered until it can be repaired.
Signs of Storm Water Damage in Your 33144 Home
Musty Smell After Heavy Rain
A damp smell that was not there before the storm usually means wet insulation, carpet pad or wall cavities.
Wet Attic Insulation
Damp or matted insulation in the attic after a storm means rain is getting past the roof deck.
Missing or Lifted Shingles
Shingles on the lawn or lifted at the edges after a storm mean the roof deck is exposed to the next rain.
Wet Carpet Near Windows and Doors
Damp carpet or swollen flooring along exterior walls shows that rain was driven in around frames or under doors.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 33144
Step 1: Damage Walkthrough
The pros check every room, the attic and the outside of the house to see where water got in and how far it spread.
Step 2: Cover the Openings

Step 3: Remove Soaked Materials
Carpet pad, insulation and drywall that are too wet to dry in place are cut out and bagged.

Photos, moisture readings and a list of removed materials are put together for you to share with your insurer.
Common Causes of Storm Damage in 33144
Flying Debris
Outdoor furniture, signs and branches carried by wind can break glass and doors and let rain into the home.
Overflowing Gutters
Heavy rain can overflow clogged or undersized gutters, sending water down walls and toward the foundation.
Flash Flooding
Sudden heavy rain can send water across yards and under doors faster than drains and gutters can carry it away.
Fallen Trees and Limbs
Branches and trees that fall on a house can open the roof or break windows, letting rain straight in.

Why Professional Storm Damage Restoration Pays Off
Records for Your Claim
Photos, readings and a list of removed materials give your adjuster a clear picture of the storm damage inside the house.
Drying to Measured Targets
Drying ends when readings show walls and floors are dry, not when the surface looks dry.

Stay away from downed power lines, take photos, move belongings away from water and call (561) 794-2954 for board-up, tarping and drying.
