Recovering from Storm Damage

Your home may not be safe to enter so it is best to have one of the rē:network partners take a look at the area. Contact one of our rē:network partners and allow the professionals to handle everything for you. A restoration team will come and dry the areas and remove contents during this time.

They will also work with you and your insurance company to locate a safe place for you to stay if your home is not livable at the time.

 

If you have been notified that your home is safe to enter, you can follow these steps to prevent further damage to your home.

Use caution when walking on a wet surface to avoid injury or damage to contents/structure.

Remove valuable objects to a safe, dry place

Take pictures of damaged areas

Remove excess water by mopping and blotting

Remove and prop wet upholstery and cushions

Place aluminum foil or wood blocks under furniture to reduce furniture damage from wet carpet.

Turn air conditioning on for maximum drying in summer
