Emergency Storm Damage Cleanup and Repair in Nashville

Middle Tennessee storms can turn a normal evening into an emergency in minutes. Severe thunderstorms, straight-line winds, hail and tornadoes tear off shingles, break windows and drop trees on roofs, and the heavy rain that follows finds every opening. The longer a damaged roof or broken window stays open, the more water gets into ceilings, insulation and walls. Our job is to stop that from happening and then put everything back.

Our Nashville crew is on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When you call after a storm, we come out, inspect the property for free, make it safe and weather-tight, and start removing water the same visit when needed. You get a written plan for drying and repairs before any restoration work begins.

Wind, hail and tornado damage

Wind and hail damage is not always visible from the ground. Lifted shingles, cracked flashing and punctured vents can let water in slowly for weeks, showing up later as ceiling stains, a musty attic or wet insulation. Tornadoes and falling trees cause more obvious structural damage, and they usually open the building to rain immediately. In both cases, water is what turns storm damage into a much bigger repair, so the first priority is always to make the property weather-tight and dry out what already got wet.

Storm flooding and water intrusion

Heavy rain can overwhelm gutters, window wells and drainage, pushing water into basements, crawl spaces and ground-floor rooms. Water that comes in from outside is considered contaminated, so carpet, pad and drywall it touched usually have to be removed and the area cleaned and sanitized. For rising water and basement flooding, see our flood damage restoration in Nashville page.

Our Storm Damage Restoration Process

  1. Safety check and free inspection. We look for structural hazards, electrical risks and active leaks, then document the damage from the roofline to the basement with photos and moisture readings.
  2. Emergency protection. We tarp damaged roof areas and board up broken windows and doors so no more rain or debris gets in and the property is secure.
  3. Water removal. Standing water is extracted from floors, carpet and lower levels, and wet ceiling materials that are sagging or unsafe are taken down.
  4. Removal of damaged materials. Saturated insulation, drywall, carpet pad and flooring that cannot be dried are removed to prevent mold and odors.
  5. Structural drying. Air movers and commercial dehumidifiers dry attics, wall cavities, framing and subfloors. We measure moisture every day until materials reach dry standards.
  6. Cleaning and deodorizing. Affected areas are cleaned and sanitized, especially where outside water entered.
  7. Repairs and rebuild. Once the structure is dry, we repair ceilings, drywall, insulation, flooring and trim to return your home or business to its pre-storm condition.

What to do right after a storm

  • Stay out of rooms with sagging ceilings, standing water near outlets or visible structural damage.
  • Stay away from downed power lines and report them to the utility.
  • If it is safe, move valuables and electronics away from leaks and wet areas.
  • Take photos and video of the damage inside and outside before cleanup begins.
  • Call your insurance company to open a claim, then call us for emergency protection and drying.
  • Keep receipts for any emergency expenses, such as temporary lodging.

Insurance policies usually expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a storm, which is exactly what emergency tarping, board-up and water removal are for.

Storm Damage Restoration for Homes and Businesses

Why storm damage needs fast action

A single overnight rain through an open roof can soak attic insulation, collapse a ceiling and wet the walls below. Wet insulation loses its value and holds moisture against the framing, and mold can begin to grow on wet materials within 24 to 48 hours. Fast protection and drying usually means less demolition, lower repair costs and a shorter disruption for your family or business.

Storms in Middle Tennessee

Nashville sits in an area that sees strong spring and fall thunderstorms, damaging straight-line winds, hail and tornadoes, including the March 2020 tornado that crossed the city. Summer brings intense downpours that cause flash flooding in low-lying neighborhoods and along creeks that feed the Cumberland River, and winter ice storms bring down trees and limbs. Because storms often hit many homes at once, it helps to call early so your property can be protected before more rain arrives.

Commercial storm damage

For offices, retail centers, churches, schools and multi-unit buildings, we focus on securing the building, protecting inventory and equipment, and restoring operations as quickly as possible. Our commercial storm damage restoration team can work in phases around your schedule and keeps detailed records for owners, property managers and insurers.

We work with all insurance companies. We provide photos, moisture readings and a detailed scope of work, and we can communicate directly with your adjuster.

Storm Damage Restoration FAQ

Do you provide emergency roof tarping after a storm?

Yes. We tarp damaged roof areas and board up broken windows and doors to stop rain from getting in and to secure the property, 24/7.

How fast can you respond after a storm in Nashville?

We are open 24/7. In Nashville and nearby cities, we are typically on site within about 60 minutes. After widespread storms, call as early as possible so we can protect your property before the next round of rain.

Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage?

Wind, hail and storm damage are often covered by homeowners policies, while flooding from rising outside water usually requires separate flood coverage. Your policy decides. We work with all insurance companies and help by documenting the damage and communicating with your adjuster.

Should I wait for the insurance adjuster before starting cleanup?

You do not need to wait to protect your property. Take photos, call your insurer to open a claim and have emergency tarping, board-up and water removal done to prevent further damage. We document everything for the adjuster.

Can storm damage cause mold?

Yes. Rain that enters through a damaged roof or window soaks insulation, drywall and framing, and mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours. Prompt water removal and drying greatly reduce that risk.

How do I know if my roof leaked during the storm?

Look for new ceiling stains, dripping from light fixtures, bubbling paint, wet insulation in the attic or a musty smell after rain. Small leaks are easy to miss, so if shingles or flashing were damaged, it is worth having the attic and ceilings checked for moisture.

What if a tree fell on my house?

Stay out of the affected rooms and away from any downed power lines, and call your insurer. A tree service removes the tree; we secure the opening with tarps and board-up, remove water and debris inside, dry the structure and handle interior repairs.

Do you repair the damage after drying?

Yes. We perform interior repairs and reconstruction, including ceilings, drywall, insulation, flooring and trim, so one team handles the job from emergency protection to finished repairs.

Do you handle commercial storm damage?

Yes. We secure and dry commercial buildings and plan the work to keep as much of your operation running as possible.

Is the inspection free?

Yes. The storm damage inspection and estimate are free.
