Storm damage can happen at any time of the year, and when it does, it often takes you by surprise. Though you may not always be able to predict a storm, you can be prepared for how to clean up afterward to protect your home and set things right again. In fact, it’s crucial not to wait after suffering from storm damage, as even small issues can grow over time and cause even more problems in your home. Hudepohl Restoration, serving Louisville, KY, and Cincinnati, OH, will take care of a wide range of storm damage issues so that your home can get back to normal once again.

Here are three reasons why you should never wait to investigate and repair damage from a storm:

• Every Shingle Counts: If even just a few shingles on your roof are lost to high winds during a storm, the gap can allow water to seep into your attic. This can lead to the growth of mold on wood structures and in your insulation, leading to potentially unsafe air quality in your home. 
• Water Damage Doesn’t Heal Itself: If a storm has left you with loose siding or trim boards, these are other areas that can allow water into your home. Though you may not always see drips in the interior, water seeping into your walls or ceiling during subsequent rain events can cause rot that weakens the structure of your house. This hidden damage can be very costly if you wait until it’s too late.
• Cracked Windows Are Inefficient: Yard debris or tree branches can act like missiles in high winds, and if one hits your windows, the glass could crack. Even if the window isn’t shattered, a crack means drafts that make your home’s heating and air conditioning systems work harder, costing you more money than it should. It’s always better to fix these problems right away than wait for potentially more damage down the line.
