Post Storm Assessment
Post-Storm Assessment Services in Bonita Springs, FL and Nearby Cities
A post-storm assessment is a detailed evaluation of a property’s condition after it has been exposed to sever weather events like hurricanes, heavy rainstorms, high winds, tornadoes, or hail. The goal is to identify any damage that may have compromised the building envelope’s structural integrity or ability to protect the home. The report that is produced is essential for homeowners to document storm damage, evaluate necessary repairs, and take steps to prevent further damage or hazards.
What's Included in Our Post-Storm Assessment?
Exterior:
- Shingles/Materials: Look for missing, cracked, curled, or loose shingles, tiles, or metal panels. For flat roofs, check for punctures, blisters, or cracks.
- Soffit and Fascia: Inspect the edges of the roof for damage to the soffit and fascia, which can affect roof ventilation and protection from moisture.
- Flashings: Check the metal flashings around chimneys, vents, skylights, and other roof protrusions for rust, damage, or separation, which can lead to leaks.
- Gutters: Inspect gutters and downspouts for dents, detachment, or blockages, which can be signs of storm impact or cause water to pool on the roof.
- Walls: Examine the cladding for damage, cracks, holes, or missing components.
- Windows & Doors: Check the condition of all openings for compromised seals, broken glass and the structural integrity of the framing.
Interior:
- Ceiling and Walls: Review the inside of the home for water stains, dampness, or discoloration on ceilings and walls, which may indicate a roof or wall leak.
- Attic Inspection: Check the attic space for water penetration, visible leaks on the underside of the roof deck, and wet, displaced, damaged, or compressed insulation.
- Moisture Mapping: Use tools like thermal imaging cameras or moisture meters to detect hidden leaks or moisture trapped beneath roofing or other building materials.
Documentation:
- Photos will be taken of any damage found, along with written notes, and delivered in a written report format. This documentation is especially helpful for insurance claims, as it provides clear evidence of the condition of the property after the severe weather event.
