What’s Involved In Storm Damage Repair And Restoration?
When disaster strikes your home, the aftermath is more than just water and debris—it's a complex journey from chaos back to comfort. General contractor Jeff Bass pulls back the curtain on what storm restoration really looks like on the ground, revealing crucial insights that every homeowner needs to know before filing an insurance claim.
The restoration process begins immediately after damage occurs, with professionals working to reseal your home environment against further intrusion. But the real challenge often lies in navigating insurance claims. As Jeff candidly points out, "Insurance companies didn't grow by paying claims"—they operate much like casinos, collecting premiums while paying out as little as possible. This dynamic makes professional advocacy essential during the claims process.
Most homeowners don't realize that cleaning up storm damage too quickly can actually reduce their insurance payout. Proper documentation before remediation ensures maximum coverage for all affected areas. Jeff shares a remarkable success story where professional advocacy transformed a $37,000 initial insurance offer into an $80,000 settlement, allowing for a complete kitchen renovation and new flooring throughout the downstairs of a home following water damage from a leaky dishwasher. The difference? Having someone who understood how to identify and document all related damage, including cracked granite countertops and water-damaged hardwood floors the insurance company initially missed.
From understanding the supplemental claims process to knowing when remediation should be handled by specialists, this episode provides essential knowledge for anyone dealing with storm damage. The right contractor doesn't just repair your home—they transform disaster into opportunity by maximizing legitimate insurance coverage.
