What Should You Do if Your Home is Damaged by a Winter Storm?

First things first: Call us to let us know we need to gear up and get on our way. After you’ve done that, stay calm – we’ll be there as soon as we can. From there:

  1. Make sure everyone’s safe. Keep people out of damaged areas of your home – or, if you can, get to another location that’s safe, warm and dry.
  2. Turn off power and water. If you have a burst pipe, shut off the main water valve to your home; turn off the power, too, in case of flooding. 
  3. Track your losses. See what personal property has been damaged (in addition to your home).
  4. Take property out of damaged areas if it’s safe to do so.
