Luis F.Storm insurance claim

It is risky. Pros tarp safely, and emergency tarping is often covered by insurance.
Wind-driven rain through storm damage is usually covered. Outside flooding generally requires flood insurance.
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.
Act within a day or two. Mold grows quickly, and the next rain adds more damage.
No. We connect you with independent local pros. Verify their license and insurance before work starts.
