Storms are known to cause an immense amount of harm to your home. Some post-storm damage can create safety and health hazards as well. Having a strategy to help deal with these damages will help you to be ready to take steps immediately after the storm.

Take Safety Precautions

Collapsed roofing materials, window damage, and collapsed walls are all results of heavy winds. Let's not forget that moisture sometimes can soak into building materials and carpets to make the perfect environment for mold growth. 

Photograph the Damage

Be sure to use your cellphone or a camera to photograph the damage so that you will have a record for your insurance company. This action will ensure that you are fully compensated.

Contact Your Insurance Company

Contact your insurance agent to notify them about the damage to your home immediately. The company will send out an adjuster to determine the extent of the damage so that payment for repairs can be made.
