After a severe storm, most homeowners are concerned with the obvious signs of damage. Missing shingles, dented siding, and debris that has come into your yard or hit your home are often the first things that are noticed. However, some of the most costly and disruptive damage are the ones you cannot immediately see.
Storm damage is not always obvious to the untrained eye. Strong winds, hail, and heavy rainfall can compromise the home’s interior structure, creating pathways for moisture that reach from your attic to basement. In many cases, the most significant problems are hidden beneath roofing materials, behind siding, or inside wall cavities, something you’d only be able to know with the help of a professional storm damage assessment.
This is where the got mold?™ team can assist you!
A professional storm damage assessment helps identify both visible and concealed damage, giving homeowners a clear understanding of their property’s condition before small problems turn into major repairs.
A storm damage assessment with got mold?™ can include:
We thoroughly inspect roofs, looking for hail impact marks, missing or damaged shingles, lifted materials, exposed roofing material, and other visible storm-related damage.
Our team will look for cracking, dents, broken panels, loose materials, and areas that are at risk of water intrusion around the outside of your home.
We’ll pay attention to any damage such as dents, blockages, or other drainage issues that may direct water towards the home instead of away.
Getting a storm damage assessment goes further than just examining the exterior of the home. Our team is trained to look for issues such as water staining on the ceiling walls, roof leak pathways, musty odours, ventilation issues, damp building materials and other hidden moisture concerns throughout the inside of the home.
Conditions that may contribute to mold growth and poor indoor air quality are common when storm damage has occurred where water has made its way inside. Our team of indoor air quality and mold remediation experts know where to look to catch this growth early and prevent bigger issues from developing.
We take care of all storm damage documentation, providing homeowners with photos, videos, detailed notes and findings to help you understand the conditions and decided what steps need to be taken next.
If moisture gets into an attic, wall cavity, insulation, or finished spaces, the problem can grow quietly before it becomes a visible problem. Early professional assessments can help homeowners understand whether the issue is merely cosmetic, exterior, moisture-related, indoor air quality-related, or a combination.
Roofing contractors play an important role when storm damage has affected roofing materials, but storm damage often extends well beyond the roof itself.
A roofing company’s primary focus is identifying and repairing damage to the roof system as a whole. While this is an important step, it may not address hidden moisture intrusion, water migration into wall cavities, insulation contamination, indoor air quality concerns, or the potential for mold growth.
At got mold?™, our approach looks at the entire building from top to bottom. We assess how water may have entered the structure, where it may have travelled, and what conditions may exist behind finished structures. Our team specializes in moisture detection, mold prevention, and identifying hidden damage that may not be visible with a standard roof inspection.
This boarder perspective gives homeowners the tools they need to make an informed decision on what to do next. In many cases, early detection of moisture related issues can prevent costly repairs, mold remediation projects, and long-term structural concerns.
Time is one of the most important factors when dealing with storm-related damage. Even a small opening in a roof, cracked siding, or a compromised seal can allow moisture to enter the home.
Once moisture becomes trapped inside building material, conditions can begin to develop that support mold growth, material deterioration, and indoor air quality concerns. The longer these issues go undetected, the more extensive and costly repairs will be.
If your home has recently experienced hail, high winds, heavy rain, or another major weather event, the got mold?™ team is here to help. Our experienced inspectors can assess your property, identify moisture-related concerns, document damage, and provide recommendations to help protect your property and indoor environment.
Don’t wait for the hidden storm damage to reveal itself. Boom a professional storm damage assessment today and take the first step toward protecting your home, your investment, and your family’s indoor air quality.
