Before help arrives
Immediate steps for storm damage.
- 1Stay away from downed wires, unstable trees, damaged roofs, standing water near electricity, and sagging ceilings.
- 2Move to a safe part of the property and contact emergency authorities when there is structural or electrical danger.
- 3Use containers for minor active drips only when the ceiling and electrical area are safe; do not climb onto a wet roof.
- 4Photograph exterior and interior damage from a safe location before temporary protection begins.
- 5Arrange temporary opening protection and water mitigation quickly to limit rain entry and secondary damage.
Common causes we assess
- Wind-damaged shingles and flashing
- Fallen branches and roof openings
- Window or door intrusion
- Surface water and overwhelmed drainage
- Ice, snow, and freeze-thaw damage
What affects the estimate
- Size and location of the opening
- Active rain or repeated weather exposure
- Water spread through insulation and finishes
- Access equipment and temporary protection
- Exterior repair, interior drying, and reconstruction
Professional scope
What the restoration plan can include.
Hazard review, temporary board-up or tarping, and coordination of safe access to the damaged area.
Water extraction, moisture mapping, contents protection, and removal of unsalvageable wet materials.
Structural drying, cleaning, and monitoring while permanent exterior repairs are assessed and scheduled.
Photos and scope documentation separating emergency mitigation from roofing, exterior, and interior repair work.
Property-specific response
Planning storm damage for homes, condos, and businesses.
Houses and finished basements
The plan accounts for occupants, pets, stored contents, finished flooring, wall and ceiling cavities, insulation, cabinetry, utilities, and safe movement through the home. Source control and protection of unaffected rooms come first.
Condo and multi-unit properties
Condo restoration may require management approval, shut-off coordination, elevator or loading access, parking arrangements, work-hour rules, and documentation of water, smoke, or odour movement between neighbouring units.
Rental and managed properties
Landlords and property managers need a clear contact chain, tenant access, emergency authorization, affected-unit records, photos, daily updates, and a separation between immediate mitigation and the later repair scope.
Commercial restoration
Business losses add staff and public safety, operating hours, inventory, equipment, loading access, containment, noise, odour, and continuity requirements. Work can be phased so safe areas remain usable when conditions allow.
How long can it take?
Temporary protection is an emergency step, not the final repair. Water mitigation may take several days, while roofing, window, siding, structural, and interior reconstruction timelines depend on weather, material availability, permits, and the approved repair scope.
Insurance documentation
Record the date and time of the storm, exterior conditions, interior water path, temporary measures, damaged contents, and all receipts. Insurers may distinguish sudden storm damage from maintenance or wear, so preserve evidence of the opening and resulting interior loss.
