Storm Damage Restoration in 48382, 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 Commerce Township and nearby Walled Lake, Wixom and Milford. The pros handle board-up, tarping, water extraction and drying after storms of any size.
Storm Damage Restoration Work in 48382
Emergency Roof Tarping
When wind or a fallen branch opens the roof, a tarp is fastened over the damage as a stopgap until a roofer makes the repair.
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.
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.
Storm Flooded Basement Cleanup
Basement floodwater from outside is treated as contaminated, so soaked porous materials are removed and surfaces are disinfected.
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.
Storm Damage Warning Signs in 48382
Musty Smell After Heavy Rain
A damp smell that was not there before the storm usually means wet insulation, carpet pad or wall cavities.
Wet Carpet Near Windows and Doors
Damp carpet or swollen flooring along exterior walls shows that rain was driven in around frames or under doors.
Water in the Basement
Water on the basement floor or seeping through walls after heavy rain means storm runoff found its way inside.
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.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 48382
Step 1: Emergency Roof Tarping
Openings in the roof from wind or hail are tarped so the attic and ceilings stop taking on water.
Step 2: Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
Water in the attic is removed, wet insulation is pulled and ceilings below are checked for trapped water.
Step 3: Clean Surfaces
Floors and lower walls touched by outside water are cleaned and treated before drying to limit odor and contamination.
Step 4: Structural Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers dry the attic, walls and floors, with readings taken each day until the targets are met.
Common Causes of Storm Damage in 48382
Flying Debris
Outdoor furniture, signs and branches carried by wind can break glass and doors and let rain into the home.
Storm Runoff Into Basements
Heavy rain can raise the water around a house and push it through window wells, cracks and floor drains.
Wind-Driven Rain
Strong winds push rain sideways into window frames, vents and siding joints that keep out normal rain.
Roof Damage From Wind
High winds lift and tear shingles and flashing, exposing the roof deck to rain that soaks into the attic.

Storm Damage Restoration vs. DIY: When to Call Local Specialists
A wet-dry vacuum can pick up small amounts of water from hard floors. Soaked carpet, walls and ceilings need extraction and drying equipment to dry fully.
What Drives Storm Damage Restoration Cost?
Board-up and tarping, debris removal, water extraction and drying are each priced separately, so the total depends on which ones your home needs.
Debris Inside
Mud, glass, branches and wet insulation inside the house take time to clear and dispose of.
Rooms Affected
Each wet room needs extraction, drying equipment and moisture checks, so the number of rooms sets much of the cost.
Water Source
Rain coming through a roof is cleaner than floodwater from outside. Dirty water means more cleaning and removal of porous materials.
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
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.
Is storm water dirty?
Rain coming through a roof is usually clean at first. Water that came in from outside across the ground is treated as dirty and needs cleaning as well as drying.
Does insurance cover storm damage?
Many policies cover damage from wind and hail. Flooding from rising water outside usually needs a separate flood policy. Your insurer decides coverage.
What records will I get for my insurance claim?
Photos of the damage, daily moisture readings and a list of removed materials, which you can share with your adjuster.
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.
