How to Find the Right Storm Damage Recovery Team

7/12/2021 (Permalink)

When you think of states that suffer from intense storms and natural disasters, you probably think of tornadoes in the midwest (thanks, “Wizard of Oz”); hurricanes in the south; and earthquakes out in California. However, here in Massachusetts, we can also fall victim to storms. They might not be as prevalent as other states, but they are certainly intense.

Just think back to when Halloween was cancelled in many states thanks to a blizzard, or that microburst that caused power to be out for over a week for many across the state. Not to mention the hailstorms that can hit even in summer.

When a storm hits and your house suffers storm damage, you don’t want to leave the cleanup, restoration, or rebuild to just anyone. Yes, there’s some storm damage cleaning and repair work you can do yourself, like replacing a screen window that gets torn from a tree branch during a windstorm. That’s easy enough. Right?  

Stop for a moment. Was your glass window open at any time when the screen window was torn? If water got into your home through the tear in your window screen, you could have resulting water damage that leads to mildew or mold.

In order to not make things worse during your storm damage repairs and clean up, you should hire a trained storm damage remediation specialist, including one that has certified employees.
