What to Do if You Need Emergency Storm Damage Restoration
Assess the Severity of the Damages
After a disaster occurs, it is understandable that you may want to fix things up quickly to try to get everything back to normal as fast as possible. However, before you hire a company to start the restoration process, it is important to identify the severity of the damage. Once it is safe to inspect your property, you can make a note to determine what is considered storm damage and what is not. If possible, you should also take pictures of the damages before anything is moved, so you have proof for your insurance company of what happened.
Contact your Insurance Provider
