What Kind of Damage Should I Look for After a Storm?
Roof Damage
After a storm, check your roof for missing shingles, cracks, or debris. Water leaks can occur from even minor damage, leading to extensive issues like mold growth and structural problems. If you see any signs of storm damage, contact a professional for a thorough inspection and repair.
Water Intrusion
Heavy rains can lead to leaks and flooding. Inspect walls, ceilings, and basements for water stains or dampness. Pay attention to any musty odors, which may indicate hidden mold. Promptly addressing water intrusion can help prevent further damage and costly repairs.
Landscape and Exterior Damage
Storms can uproot trees and damage your landscaping. Check for fallen branches or displaced plants. Additionally, assess your home’s exterior for any cracks, missing siding, or damage to windows and doors. These areas should be addressed to maintain your home’s integrity.
Electrical Issues
Stay vigilant about electrical safety after a storm. Inspect your home for any downed power lines or flickering lights. If you suspect water has compromised your electrical system, avoid using any outlets and consult a professional electrician for an assessment.
