Storm Damage Restoration in Columbia, SC

Initial Assessment and Inspection

The first step in our storm damage restoration process is a comprehensive inspection. Our experts arrive on-site promptly to assess the extent of the damage.

We examine all areas of your property, including the roof, windows, foundation, and interior spaces, to identify both visible and hidden damage. This thorough inspection is crucial for developing a tailored restoration plan that addresses every aspect of the damage.

During the inspection, we also evaluate any safety hazards, such as downed power lines, compromised structures, or flooding, ensuring that we take the necessary precautions to protect both you and our team. Our priority is to create a safe environment before beginning the restoration work.

Temporary Repairs and Damage Mitigation

Once the initial assessment is complete, our team moves quickly to implement temporary repairs to prevent further damage. This may involve boarding up windows, covering damaged roofs with tarps, or setting up temporary fencing around hazardous areas.

By securing the property, we protect it from additional weather exposure and ensure that the damage does not worsen while we develop the full restoration plan.

Damage mitigation also includes water extraction and drying if there has been flooding or water intrusion. Our advanced equipment allows us to remove standing water and thoroughly dry affected areas, reducing the risk of mold growth and further structural damage.

Debris Removal and Cleanup

Storms often leave behind a significant amount of debris, including fallen trees, broken branches, and scattered building materials. Our team handles the removal of all debris, clearing the area so that restoration work can proceed unhindered.

We also take care of any necessary cleanup, removing dirt, mud, and other contaminants brought in by the storm.

This step is essential not only for the aesthetic restoration of your property but also for creating a safe environment where our team can work efficiently. Our cleanup efforts ensure that all areas of your property are accessible and ready for the next stages of restoration.

Structural Repairs and Restoration

With the debris cleared and temporary repairs in place, we begin the structural restoration process. This phase involves repairing or replacing damaged roofing, siding, windows, and other structural elements.

Our team works with high-quality materials to ensure that all repairs are durable and in line with the original construction standards of your property.

If the storm has caused significant damage to the interior of your home or business, such as water damage or structural instability, we address these issues as well.

Our experts are skilled in a range of restoration techniques, from minor repairs to extensive reconstruction, ensuring that your property is restored to its pre-storm condition.

Water Damage Restoration and Mold Remediation

Storms often bring heavy rains and flooding, leading to water damage within your property. As part of our comprehensive storm damage restoration services, we include water damage restoration and mold remediation.

Our team uses specialized equipment to detect moisture within walls, floors, and ceilings, and to remove any water that has seeped into these areas.

Drying and dehumidification are critical to preventing mold growth, which can begin within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure. If mold is already present, our experts perform thorough mold remediation to remove it and prevent its return.

This includes treating affected areas with antimicrobial solutions and ensuring that all moisture sources are addressed.

Content Restoration and Cleaning

Your belongings are just as important as the structure itself, and we take great care in restoring and cleaning them. Our content restoration services include the cleaning, drying, and repair of furniture, electronics, documents, and personal items that have been damaged by the storm.

We use specialized techniques to salvage as much as possible, helping you preserve important items that hold sentimental or financial value.

We walk through the property with you, addressing any concerns you may have and ensuring that every aspect of the restoration process has been completed to your satisfaction.
