What to do when you get hit by a storm

8/30/2021 (Permalink)

When a severe storm hits your property, countless thoughts run through your mind. Is everyone safe? What items are damaged? Will insurance cover the costs? 

Take a deep breath and follow these steps to get everything back on track:

1. Keep you and your family safe. Be careful to avoid hazards like splintered wood and broken glass. In extreme cases, this might mean staying in place until emergency crews can arrive.
2. Examine and document the damage. If it’s safe to do so, take a lap around your property and see what’s damaged. Take as many photos as possible to document the scene — this will help you file the appropriate insurance claim down the line.
3. Prevent additional damage with our board-up services.  Boarding up open windows and doors will prevent the elements from causing further harm to your home or business while the restoration process gets underway.
4. Work with a professional restoration company like SERVPRO of Rock County to repair the damage. An experienced team will make sure that everything returns to normal as quickly as possible by handling all exterior and interior fixes.
