Storms Damage Scenarios

Big storms can be dangerous, and you should put safety first. If your neighborhood has seen major problems, be careful. If you think your home has been structurally damaged or flooding risk is an issue, don’t go inside. Spending a few nights away is a small thing compared to your health.

Get through the storm, and then take a look at the damage. Read on for more.

Insurance Coverage

The amount you get from your home or business insurer depends on premiums and deductibles, the damage, the previous condition of the property and more.

First, document the damage to your structure to the best of your capability. Take a lot of photos and be sure to hang on to any receipts and documents related to appliances and maintenance work. Then, contact a storm damage repair service and your insurer. Your provider will send a representative. The best contractors can work directly with insurers to help you keep costs down.
