High winds (tearing roofs/siding), hail (denting roofs, breaking windows), heavy rain/flooding (water intrusion, structural weakening), and hurricanes/nor’easters (combining wind, rain, and debris like fallen trees) are frequent culprits. Each can lead to overlapping issues requiring comprehensive restoration. 

Minor temporary fixes like placing buckets under leaks or covering small holes are okay if safe but avoid climbing on damaged roofs or handling electrical issues. Professionals handle proper emergency tarping, board-up, and mitigation to avoid voiding insurance or causing further harm. 

Storms can cause immediate structural issues, but delays lead to secondary damage like mold growth (which starts within 24-48 hours of water exposure), wood rot, rusting, or weakened materials. Fast mitigation, such as water removal, drying, and securing prevents escalation, reduces repair costs, and helps preserve belongings and the building's integrity. 

Spartan Restoration handles a wide range of storm-related damage, including damage from hurricanes, nor’easters, high winds, heavy rain, hail, and flooding. This includes roof damage (wind/hail), siding and window issues, structural problems, fallen trees and debris, water intrusion, and related interior/exterior cleanup. 

Comprehensive services often include contents pack-out (removing, cleaning, storing, and returning belongings), document drying for important papers, and structural repairs. This minimizes loss of personal items while addressing the building; professionals prioritize salvageable contents first. 

We prioritize mold prevention by rapidly extracting water, structurally drying affected areas, and applying antimicrobial treatments to impacted surfaces to stop mold and mildew before it starts.
