Helpful Tips For Tallahassee Homeowners After a Storm
Storm damage can be especially traumatic. It's good to have a plan together in the event of a disaster.
It’s November in Tallahassee, that means we are still in hurricane season. It is wise to have a strategy in place to help you be ready in the event of any storm related damage to your home.
Use Caution
Strong winds and rain can create tangible physical hazards such as falling or collapsed roof materials, broken window glass, compromised wall structure and standing and possibly stagnant water in the basement or crawl space. Additionally, moisture can permeate into carpets, furniture, drapes and walls, creating an ideal environment for unhealthy mold to flourish. Turn off your main gas line if you smell gas. Use caution and keep an eye out for broken glass, exposed nails and other sharp objects.
Take Pictures
If you can safely navigate around your property, take as many photos of your property as you can to provide to your insurance company. This will help with insurance compensation.
Contact Your Insurance Provider
Alert your insurance agent of your home's damage immediately. An adjuster will be dispatched to assess the damages to your home. SERVPRO of North Leon County can help you navigate this process.
