Storm Damage Restoration Work in 55124
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.
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
When siding is torn or cracked in a storm, rain gets into the wall. The inside is dried while the outside is covered until it can be repaired.
Storm Damage Water Extraction
After a storm, water is extracted room by room with pumps and extractors, starting with the areas where it is deepest.
Storm Flooded Basement Cleanup
Storm water that floods a basement is pumped out, wet carpet and drywall are removed and the slab and walls are cleaned and dried.
Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
Water that gets in through hail damage is removed from the attic, wet insulation is pulled and the ceiling below is dried.
Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration
Missing or Lifted Shingles
Shingles on the lawn or lifted at the edges after a storm mean the roof deck is exposed to the next rain.
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.
Wet Attic Insulation
Damp or matted insulation in the attic after a storm means rain is getting past the roof deck.
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.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 55124
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 55124, Minnesota
Flash Flooding
Sudden heavy rain can send water across yards and under doors faster than drains and gutters can carry it away.
Flying Debris
Outdoor furniture, signs and branches carried by wind can break glass and doors and let rain into the home.
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.
