Storm Damage Cleanup Services in 70343, LA
Storm Damage Water Extraction
Storm water that came in from outside may carry dirt and debris, so floors are cleaned as well as extracted before drying begins.
Emergency Board Up Services
Plywood is fastened over broken glass and damaged doors right after the storm. It stays until the window or door can be replaced.
Debris Removal After Storm
Mud, broken glass, wet insulation and branches that came into the house are cleared so extraction and drying can reach the floors and walls.
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
Water that gets behind siding or stucco can soak insulation and the back of the drywall. The pros find it with meters and dry the cavity.
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
Strong wind pushes rain sideways through window frames, vents and siding joints. The pros dry the wall cavities and floors that this water reached.
Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration
Dripping From Light Fixtures
Water coming through a light or fan means it has pooled above the ceiling. Turn off that circuit and keep people clear.
Mud or Debris Indoors
Mud, leaves or glass inside the house mean storm water came in from outside and floors need cleaning as well as drying.
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.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 70343
Step 1: Damage Walkthrough
The pros check every room, the attic and the outside of the house to see where water got in and how far it spread.
Step 2: Cover the Openings
Tarps and plywood go over damaged roof sections, windows and doors before extraction starts.
Step 3: Remove Soaked Materials
Carpet pad, insulation and drywall that are too wet to dry in place are cut out and bagged.
Step 4: Document for the Claim
Photos, moisture readings and a list of removed materials are put together for you to share with your insurer.
Where Storm Water Gets Into a House
Hail Impact
Hail cracks shingles, skylights and vent caps, opening small gaps that leak during the storms that follow.
Roof Damage From Wind
High winds lift and tear shingles and flashing, exposing the roof deck to rain that soaks into the attic.
Fallen Trees and Limbs
Branches and trees that fall on a house can open the roof or break windows, letting rain straight in.
Flash Flooding
Sudden heavy rain can send water across yards and under doors faster than drains and gutters can carry it away.

DIY Limits After Storm Damage in 70343
Keep receipts for tarps, plywood and any supplies you buy after the storm. Many policies cover reasonable steps taken to prevent more damage to the home.
Storm Damage Restoration Cost in 70343, LA
Storm water from outside can carry dirt, which means more cleaning and sometimes more material removal than a clean water leak.
Board-Up and Tarping
Covering broken windows, doors and roof openings adds materials and labor before drying can start.
Rooms Affected
Each wet room needs extraction, drying equipment and moisture checks, so the number of rooms sets much of the cost.
Drying Time
Each extra day of air movers, dehumidifiers and moisture checks adds to the cost, especially in wet attics and wall cavities.
Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage Restoration?
Some policies have a separate wind or hail deductible. Read yours or ask your agent so you know what to expect before work begins.
Why Professional Storm Damage Restoration Pays Off
Records for Your Claim
Photos, readings and a list of removed materials give your adjuster a clear picture of the storm damage inside the house.
Notes for Other Trades

Common Questions After Storm Damage
What records will I get for my insurance claim?
Photos of the damage, daily moisture readings and a list of removed materials, which you can share with your adjuster.
Can storm damage lead to mold?
It can if materials stay wet for a day or two. Prompt extraction, removal of soaked insulation and measured drying keep that from happening.
What should I do first after a storm damages my home?
Stay away from downed power lines, take photos, move belongings away from water and call (504) 608-0810 for board-up, tarping and drying.
Do I need to leave my home during storm cleanup?
Usually not, unless the damage makes the home unsafe or power is out. Wet areas are closed off while equipment runs.
How soon should storm cleanup start?
As soon as it is safe. Wet drywall, carpet and insulation can start to grow mold in 24 to 48 hours, and open roofs and windows let in more rain.
