What to Do Following a Storm

With storm damage restoration as with anything else, it’s always best to have a plan going in. Here is what you should do immediately following a storm to help mitigate the damage.

Put Safety First

Before you can pick up the pieces after a storm, you have to figure out what sorts of pieces you’re dealing with. This means a thorough property inspection - but you can’t compromise on safety. Before starting your inspection, ensure it’s safe to go out. Complete your inspection during the daylight hours if possible, but if going out at night is unavoidable, carry a light without an open flame. Watch for hazards, and stay clear of downed power lines. If you suspect a gas leak, immediately shut the main valve off, ventilate the area, and get outside. Do not return to your property until the proper authorities have deemed it safe.

Assess the Damage

Now that you’ve ensured everyone in the area is safe, start a thorough inspection of your property. Your roof is most prone to damage from a storm, so examine it as much as you can from the ground. Check for holes, split seams, missing or broken shingles, granules, leaks, and dents. Examine your gutters and downspouts to ensure they’re clear of debris and functioning. Check windows, siding, masonry, and exterior surfaces. Finally, check outdoor appliances such as your air conditioner. If you find any damage, take photographs of it.

Document the Damage

The photographs of the damage you took during your inspection are the first part of your damage documentation portfolio. In addition to that, you should keep records of any money you have to spend immediately to keep things under control. If your insurance company covers costs related to business interruptions, you should also have an idea of how much money you’re losing every day you can’t operate as you normally would and documentation to back up your estimate.

Contact Your Insurance Agency

With documentation in hand, it’s time to get in touch with your insurance agency. Your provider will issue a claim number and answer any questions you might have regarding your claim.

Don’t Make Things Worse

If (and only if) you have the proper expertise, make any repairs you can make on your own. When it comes to storm damage mitigation, time is of the essence. The sooner you can make any repairs, the better. If you do not have the right knowledge, wait and let a professional such as Frontier Services Group handle repairs. It will often be cheaper and safer in the long run.
