Immediate action is crucial for several reasons. First, even minor storm damage can allow water intrusion that leads to mold, rot, and structural issues within days. Second, many insurance policies require homeowners to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a storm. Third, addressing repairs quickly often prevents more extensive (and expensive) damage from developing. We recommend scheduling a professional inspection within 48-72 hours of a severe weather event whenever possible. For urgent situations like roof breaches or significant water entry, we offer emergency services to secure your property until permanent repairs can be completed.
