The storm tore a section of shingles off the roof, and wind-driven rain poured into the attic for hours. Now the insulation is soaked, the bedroom ceiling has a brown stain spreading across it, and more rain is in the forecast. Storm water damage comes from above, and the first job is keeping more of it from getting in.

We are a referral line, not a contractor. Calls are routed to independent local pros around Rivanna who handle the full storm sequence, from covering the roof to repairing ceilings.
The first priority is keeping more rain out. Contractors tarp damaged roofs and board up broken windows or doors before interior drying begins.
Local pros will still be here after the storm. That matters for follow-up work and questions later.
Confirm license and insurance before signing anything, especially after a big storm.
Contractors photograph exterior and interior damage, record moisture readings, and itemize repairs so your storm claim has solid support.

Storm water enters from above and from the sides, so the work moves from the outside in: seal the building, then dry and repair the interior.

Damaged roof areas are covered with secured tarps to stop leaks until the roof can be repaired.
Broken windows, damaged doors, and openings from fallen limbs are boarded to keep out rain, wind, and intruders.
Wet attic insulation comes out, the decking and framing are dried, and fresh insulation is installed.
Water-damaged ceilings and walls are removed, dried, rebuilt, and painted.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry ceilings, walls, and floors below the leak until moisture readings confirm the structure is dry.
Call +1-877-637-9008 and describe what was damaged, whether water is still coming in, and if the roof or windows are open to the weather.
A local contractor calls with an arrival estimate. After regional storms, demand is high, and they will be honest about timing.
The pro inspects the roof line, attic, and interior, takes moisture readings, and gives you a written estimate before work begins.
The building is tarped or boarded, the interior is dried, and ceilings, walls, and insulation are repaired.
Get the roof tarped before the next round of rain.

Luis F.Storm insurance claim

Climbing a wet, damaged roof is dangerous. A professional tarp is safer and more likely to hold. Many policies cover reasonable emergency tarping costs.
Damage from wind and rain entering through a storm-damaged roof or window is often covered. Rising floodwater from outside usually is not. Check your policy with your agent.
Ask for a local address, proof of license and insurance, and a written estimate. Be cautious with anyone demanding large upfront payments or pushing you to sign immediately.
Rarely. Blown-in cellulose clumps and loses its insulating value, and fiberglass can trap moisture against the decking. Most soaked insulation should be replaced.
Within 24 to 48 hours. Mold can start growing on wet insulation, drywall, and wood framing quickly, and another storm can make it worse.
No. We connect you with independent local pros. Verify their license and insurance before work starts.
