First Steps After a Storm

4/8/2022 (Permalink)

As the weather starts to change in the Upstate of South Carolina, we are susceptible to bigger storms that can cause a lot of damage. If you find that your property has been damaged by one of these weather induced storms, here are a few steps you should take to get your home back to normal, while staying safe.

• Assess the Mess: Once the storm has passed and it is safe to go outside, get a good look at the mess or any damages that may have occurred. Be careful as you investigate to avoid any broken power lines or trees that may fall. 
• Call for Help: After you have a good idea of the work that needs to be done, call your insurance company to discuss the coverage for your type of damage. 
• Bring in the Professionals: The insurance company will point you in the right direction for the best cleanup and water mitigation team around. These professionals are skilled in storm mitigation and know the safest and quickest ways to get your home back to normal.
