Storm Damage Cleanup and Drying in 33331
Wind, hail and heavy rain each damage a home differently. Wind drives rain through gaps, hail cracks roofs and skylights, and heavy rain overwhelms gutters.
Storm damage restoration is available in Fort Lauderdale and nearby Wilton Manors, Oakland Park and Lauderhill. The pros handle board-up, tarping, water extraction and drying after storms of any size.
What Storm Damage Restoration Covers in 33331
Emergency Board Up Services
Board-up closes openings left by flying debris or a fallen limb, which keeps the next round of rain out of rooms already being dried.
Storm Damage Water Extraction
Rainwater that came in through a roof, window or door is removed from floors, carpet and the space under cabinets before it soaks into walls.
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
Strong wind pushes rain sideways through window frames, vents and siding joints. The pros dry the wall cavities and floors that this water reached.
Emergency Roof Tarping
Torn or missing roof sections are covered with a heavy tarp so no more rain reaches the attic while the inside is dried.
Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
Water that gets in through hail damage is removed from the attic, wet insulation is pulled and the ceiling below is dried.
Storm Damage Warning Signs in 33331
Dented Vents and Skylights
Hail dents on roof vents, skylight frames or flashing can leave gaps where water gets in during the next storm.
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.
Dripping From Light Fixtures
Water coming through a light or fan means it has pooled above the ceiling. Turn off that circuit and keep people clear.
Musty Smell After Heavy Rain
A damp smell that was not there before the storm usually means wet insulation, carpet pad or wall cavities.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 33331
Step 1: Emergency Roof Tarping
Openings in the roof from wind or hail are tarped so the attic and ceilings stop taking on water.
Step 2: Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
Water in the attic is removed, wet insulation is pulled and ceilings below are checked for trapped water.
Step 3: Clean Surfaces
Floors and lower walls touched by outside water are cleaned and treated before drying to limit odor and contamination.
Step 4: Structural Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers dry the attic, walls and floors, with readings taken each day until the targets are met.
Typical Storm Damage in 33331, Florida
Wind-Driven Rain
Strong winds push rain sideways into window frames, vents and siding joints that keep out normal rain.
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.
Roof Damage From Wind
High winds lift and tear shingles and flashing, exposing the roof deck to rain that soaks into the attic.
Storm Damage Restoration for Homes and Businesses in 33331
Residential Storm Damage Restoration
For homeowners, the first job after a storm is stopping more water from getting in. Board-up and tarping come first, then extraction and drying.
Commercial Storm Damage Restoration
Property managers get moisture readings and photos for each affected unit or suite, which helps when several tenants and insurers are involved.
What You Can Do Safely After a Storm in 33331
A wet-dry vacuum can pick up small amounts of water from hard floors. Soaked carpet, walls and ceilings need extraction and drying equipment to dry fully.
What Storm Damage Restoration Costs in 33331
In Fort Lauderdale, the biggest cost drivers after a storm are the number of wet rooms, soaked insulation and drywall, and after-hours work during the storm.
Board-Up and Tarping
Covering broken windows, doors and roof openings adds materials and labor before drying can start.
Water Source
Rain coming through a roof is cleaner than floodwater from outside. Dirty water means more cleaning and removal of porous materials.
Rooms Affected
Each wet room needs extraction, drying equipment and moisture checks, so the number of rooms sets much of the cost.
Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage Restoration?
The pros keep photos, moisture logs and a list of removed materials. You file the claim with your insurer and share these records with the adjuster.

Questions About Storm Damage Restoration
Does insurance cover storm damage?
Many policies cover damage from wind and hail. Flooding from rising water outside usually needs a separate flood policy. Your insurer decides coverage.
Can hail damage cause leaks later?
Yes. Hail can crack shingles, skylights and vent caps, and those cracks may not leak until the next heavy rain.
How do the pros find water inside walls after a storm?
They use moisture meters and thermal cameras along exterior walls, under windows and in the attic to find water that is not visible.
What should I do first after a storm damages my home?
Stay away from downed power lines, take photos, move belongings away from water and call (561) 794-2954 for board-up, tarping and drying.
Do the pros repair roofs and windows?
They cover them with tarps and plywood so the inside can dry. Permanent roof, window and siding repairs are done by those trades.
