STORM DAMAGE RESTORATION IN MONROE, CT

OUR STORM DAMAGE RESTORATION PROCESS

Initial Damage Assessment

Upon arrival, the restoration team conducts a thorough inspection of the property to assess the extent of the storm damage. This includes evaluating damage to the roof, windows, siding, and any interior water damage caused by the storm. The team also identifies immediate safety hazards, such as broken glass, exposed electrical wires, or structural instability.

Emergency Board-Up and Tarping

To prevent further damage from the elements and secure the property, the restoration team boards up broken windows, doors, and other exposed openings. If the roof is damaged, we apply a tarp to cover affected areas and prevent additional water from entering the home. This step is critical to protecting the property from rain, wind, or intruders until permanent repairs can be made.

Water Extraction and Containment

If the storm caused water intrusion (e.g., due to roof damage or flooding), the restoration team uses industrial pumps and vacuums to extract standing water from the home. Containment strategies, such as setting up barriers or drains, are used to prevent water from spreading to unaffected areas of the property. Quick water removal helps limit further structural damage and mold growth.

Drying and Dehumidification

After water extraction, industrial fans, air movers, and dehumidifiers are set up to dry out the affected areas. Moisture meters and infrared cameras are used to detect any hidden moisture in walls, ceilings, floors, or insulation. Thorough drying is essential to preventing mold growth and ensuring that the structure is fully restored.

Debris Removal

Storms often leave behind debris such as fallen branches, shingles, or broken building materials. The restoration team removes debris from the property, ensuring that the area is safe and clear for further restoration work. This step also helps prevent injuries and allows for a more detailed inspection of the damage.

Mold Prevention and Remediation

Since storm damage often involves water intrusion, there is a risk of mold growth. The team applies antimicrobial treatments to affected areas to prevent mold from developing. If mold is already present, we follow mold remediation protocols to safely remove it and treat the space to prevent further contamination.

Structural Repairs

Once the property is dried and stabilized, the restoration team begins making necessary structural repairs. This can include replacing damaged roofing, siding, windows, and doors. We also repair any damage to walls, floors, or ceilings caused by water or debris. The goal is to restore the home to its pre-storm condition, ensuring it is structurally sound and safe for occupancy.

Roof and Exterior Repairs

For storm damage that includes roof leaks or missing shingles, the restoration team replaces damaged roofing materials and restores the roof to full functionality. We may also repair or replace gutters, siding, and other exterior components damaged by wind or debris. Exterior repairs are essential to protecting the home from future storms and leaks.

Interior Restoration

Any interior areas affected by storm damage, such as walls, floors, ceilings, and personal belongings, are cleaned and restored. This may involve replacing drywall, repainting, and repairing flooring that was damaged by water or debris. The team works to return the interior of the home to its original state.

Cleaning and Sanitization

The entire affected area is cleaned and sanitized to remove any contaminants introduced by the storm, such as dirt, debris, or floodwater. The team uses specialized cleaning products and techniques to ensure that the home is safe and hygienic for the occupants.

Final Inspection and Monitoring

After repairs are complete, the team conducts a final inspection to ensure that all damage has been addressed, the structure is sound, and no hidden issues remain. We also monitor moisture levels to confirm that the home is fully dry, reducing the risk of mold or future water damage.

Insurance Documentation and Support

Throughout the process, the restoration team provides detailed documentation of the damage, repairs, and costs. This includes photos, reports, and estimates to assist homeowners in filing their insurance claims and receiving appropriate compensation for the storm damage.
