Storm water damage usually starts at the roof, windows, or siding. High winds lift shingles, hail cracks flashing, and rain finds its way into attics and walls. Restoration means stopping more water from entering, then drying and repairing everything it reached.

We are a referral line, not a contractor. Calls are routed to independent local pros around Cottleville 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.

Heavy-duty tarps are secured over damaged roof sections with battens so wind does not lift them, keeping rain out until permanent roof repairs.
Openings from broken glass or tree damage are boarded up to protect the home.
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.
Tell dispatch whether rain is still getting in and where the damage is.
A local contractor calls with an arrival estimate. After regional storms, demand is high, and they will be honest about timing.

It is risky. Pros tarp safely, and emergency tarping is often covered by insurance.
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.
Verify local presence, licensing, and insurance, and avoid anyone pressuring you or asking for large deposits.
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.
