Why You Need a Trained Storm Damage Specialist

5/21/2021 (Permalink)

Here in Massachusetts, we’re less prone to the tornadoes of the midwest or “hurricane season” down in Florida, but that doesn’t mean we never have storms nor resulting storm damage to our homes. 

When a microburst, lightning, or hail hits and causes storm damage, you don’t want to leave the cleanup and restoration to just anyone. Yes, there’s some storm damage cleaning and repair work you can do yourself, like patching a small puncture in your vinyl siding from hail damage. 

But, before you do even that, consider this. Did any water get inside your home from that hole in the siding? Do you know how to tell if it did? If you repair that vinyl siding hole yourself, you may just be sealing water up inside the siding of your home, which can lead to hidden water damage or mold.

In order to not make things worse during your storm damage repairs and clean up, you should hire a trained storm damage remediation specialist, including one that has certified employees.
