Sustaining storm damage is a scary and frustrating time for any home or business owner. It can lead to costly repairs, months of work, and even require you to move out for periods of time. When water or storm damage occurs in your home, it takes a proactive attitude to preserve as much of your home or business as possible. You can do exactly that by hiring professional restoration cleanup as soon as possible. To better prepare you for the possibility of storm damage restoration, the team from Hudepohl Restoration  — serving Cincinnati, OH, and Louisville, KY — have shared what you can expect during the process.

When storm damage occurs in your home, the first step is to contact your insurance and a reputable restoration company. They will work together to assess the damage and help you determine the best course of action to get your home back to normal. The restoration company will come out as soon as possible to survey your property and give you a better idea of the damage that has occurred.

Depending on the extent of damage, the restoration process can use a variety of tools and equipment to clean up and dry out the damaged areas. With flooding, the most common type of storm damage, specialized vacuums and pumps are used to get all the water and excess moisture away from your home. If water has penetrated surfaces or walls, the restoration may involve pulling up large sections of carpet or other flooring; in severe cases, the experts may need to remove parts of the walls for replacement.

Once all of the standing water and excess moisture has been removed from your home, the drying begins. This process often uses a series of large fans and dehumidifiers to fully dry out your space and stop any mold from forming. Restorers may also use customized cleaning tools to sanitize your surfaces.
