Help With Storm Damage in 33337
Storms let water in through damaged roofs, broken windows and torn siding. Once inside, it soaks carpet, runs into walls and drips through ceilings.
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 33337
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
Water that gets behind siding or stucco can soak insulation and the back of the drywall. The pros find it with meters and dry the cavity.
Emergency Roof Tarping
Tarping keeps the attic and ceilings from getting wet again during the storms that often follow the first one.
Emergency Board Up Services
Broken windows and doors are covered with plywood so rain and wind stop coming in and the home is secure while drying runs.
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
Wind-driven rain soaks the windward side of a house first. Drying focuses on those walls, the window sills and the carpet along them.
Debris Removal After Storm
Storm debris inside a home is bagged and removed first. Floors and walls under it are then cleaned and checked for moisture.
When Storm Damage Needs Professional Cleanup
Wet Attic Insulation
Damp or matted insulation in the attic after a storm means rain is getting past the roof deck.
Bubbling Paint on Exterior Walls
Paint that bubbles on the inside of an exterior wall after a storm points to water that got behind the siding.
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.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 33337
Step 1: Secure the Building
Broken windows and doors are boarded up and roof damage is tarped so no more rain gets in.
Step 2: Remove Debris
Mud, glass, branches and wet insulation that came inside are cleared so the floors and walls can be reached.
Step 3: Storm Damage Water Extraction
Water is removed from floors, carpet and under cabinets with pumps and extractors, starting where it is deepest.
Step 4: Dry and Monitor
Air movers and dehumidifiers run while the pros take daily readings, until walls and floors match dry areas.
How Storms Let Water Into 33337 Homes
Overflowing Gutters
Heavy rain can overflow clogged or undersized gutters, sending water down walls and toward the foundation.
Hail Impact
Hail cracks shingles, skylights and vent caps, opening small gaps that leak during the storms that follow.
Wind-Driven Rain
Strong winds push rain sideways into window frames, vents and siding joints that keep out normal rain.
Power Outages
Storms that knock out power stop pumps and dehumidifiers, so water that gets in stays longer than it otherwise would.
Storm Damage Restoration for Homes and Businesses in 33337
Residential Storm Damage Restoration
When a storm opens a roof, water can reach the attic, the ceiling and the rooms below. The pros dry each level and point out wood that looks soft for the roofer.
Commercial Storm Damage Restoration
Flat commercial roofs can leak across a wide area during a storm. The pros remove wet ceiling tiles, extract the water and dry the space around business hours.
When Storm Damage Is Too Big for DIY
Keep receipts for tarps, plywood and any supplies you buy after the storm. Many policies cover reasonable steps taken to prevent more damage to the home.
What Storm Damage Restoration Costs in 33337
Repairs to the roof, windows and siding are separate from water removal. The pros price the board-up, extraction and drying inside the house.
Board-Up and Tarping
Covering broken windows, doors and roof openings adds materials and labor before drying can start.
Debris Inside
Mud, glass, branches and wet insulation inside the house take time to clear and dispose of.
Timing of the Work
Work during or right after a storm, at night or on a weekend, can carry a higher rate than scheduled work.
Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage Restoration?
Insurance may pay for board-up, tarping, extraction and drying after a covered storm. Your insurer decides what is covered, so check your policy and deductible.
Why Storm Damage Needs Professional Drying in 33337
Openings Covered First
Board-up and tarping keep more rain out, so drying is not undone by the next storm.
Notes for Other Trades
Roof, window and siding damage is noted with photos, so roofers and contractors know where water got in.
Hidden Water Found
Moisture meters and thermal cameras find water in walls, attics and under flooring that is not visible after a storm.

Your Storm Damage Restoration Questions Answered
Can storm damage lead to mold?
It can if materials stay wet for a day or two. Prompt extraction, removal of soaked insulation and measured drying keep that from happening.
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.
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.
Is storm water dirty?
Rain coming through a roof is usually clean at first. Water that came in from outside across the ground is treated as dirty and needs cleaning as well as drying.
What is emergency board-up?
Plywood is fastened over broken windows and doors so rain and wind stay out and the home is secure while it dries.
