Storm Damage Restoration in 48332, MI
Water from a storm can keep coming in after the rain stops, through a roof that is still open or a window that is still broken.
Storm damage restoration is available in Farmington Hills and nearby Novi, Chesterfield and West Bloomfield. The pros handle board-up, tarping, water extraction and drying after storms of any size.
What Storm Damage Restoration Covers in 48332
Storm Damage Water Extraction
Storm water that came in from outside may carry dirt and debris, so floors are cleaned as well as extracted before drying begins.
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
Wind-driven rain soaks the windward side of a house first. Drying focuses on those walls, the window sills and the carpet along them.
Emergency Board Up Services
Board-up closes openings left by flying debris or a fallen limb, which keeps the next round of rain out of rooms already being dried.
Debris Removal After Storm
Mud, broken glass, wet insulation and branches that came into the house are cleared so extraction and drying can reach the floors and walls.
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
Water that gets behind siding or stucco can soak insulation and the back of the drywall. The pros find it with meters and dry the cavity.
Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration
Ceiling Stains After a Storm
New brown rings or damp spots on the ceiling after high wind or hail mean water is getting through the roof.
Dripping From Light Fixtures
Water coming through a light or fan means it has pooled above the ceiling. Turn off that circuit and keep people clear.
Bubbling Paint on Exterior Walls
Paint that bubbles on the inside of an exterior wall after a storm points to water that got behind the siding.
Water in the Basement
Water on the basement floor or seeping through walls after heavy rain means storm runoff found its way inside.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 48332
Step 1: Secure the Building
Broken windows and doors are boarded up and roof damage is tarped so no more rain gets in.
Step 2: Remove Debris
Mud, glass, branches and wet insulation that came inside are cleared so the floors and walls can be reached.
Step 3: Storm Damage Water Extraction
Water is removed from floors, carpet and under cabinets with pumps and extractors, starting where it is deepest.
Step 4: Dry and Monitor
Air movers and dehumidifiers run while the pros take daily readings, until walls and floors match dry areas.
Typical Storm Damage in 48332, Michigan
Roof Damage From Wind
High winds lift and tear shingles and flashing, exposing the roof deck to rain that soaks into the attic.
Flying Debris
Outdoor furniture, signs and branches carried by wind can break glass and doors and let rain into the home.
Overflowing Gutters
Heavy rain can overflow clogged or undersized gutters, sending water down walls and toward the foundation.
Wind-Driven Rain
Strong winds push rain sideways into window frames, vents and siding joints that keep out normal rain.
Storm Damage Restoration for Homes and Businesses in 48332
Residential Storm Damage Restoration
For homeowners, the first job after a storm is stopping more water from getting in. Board-up and tarping come first, then extraction and drying.

Storm Damage Restoration vs. DIY: When to Call Local Pros
Move furniture, electronics and rugs away from wet areas and out from under leaks. Set buckets under drips and lay towels to keep water from spreading.
What Storm Damage Restoration Costs in 48332
Repairs to the roof, windows and siding are separate from water removal. The pros price the board-up, extraction and drying inside the house.
Drying Time
Each extra day of air movers, dehumidifiers and moisture checks adds to the cost, especially in wet attics and wall cavities.
Rooms Affected
Each wet room needs extraction, drying equipment and moisture checks, so the number of rooms sets much of the cost.
Basement Flooding
Pumping out a flooded basement and removing wet finishes adds equipment and labor to the job.
Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage Restoration?
Some policies have a separate wind or hail deductible. Read yours or ask your agent so you know what to expect before work begins.

Common Questions After Storm Damage
How do the pros find water inside walls after a storm?
They use moisture meters and thermal cameras along exterior walls, under windows and in the attic to find water that is not visible.
Do I need to leave my home during storm cleanup?
Usually not, unless the damage makes the home unsafe or power is out. Wet areas are closed off while equipment runs.
How soon should storm cleanup start?
As soon as it is safe. Wet drywall, carpet and insulation can start to grow mold in 24 to 48 hours, and open roofs and windows let in more rain.
Can hail damage cause leaks later?
Yes. Hail can crack shingles, skylights and vent caps, and those cracks may not leak until the next heavy rain.
What should I do first after a storm damages my home?
Stay away from downed power lines, take photos, move belongings away from water and call (313) 766-2970 for board-up, tarping and drying.
