FAQs
What should I do immediately after a tornado damages my home?
Your safety comes first. Before anything else, get everyone out if the structure feels unstable, and don't re-enter until it's been cleared.
Once it's safe:
- Document everything with photos and video before touching anything
- Call your insurance company to open a claim
- Cover exposed areas with tarps to prevent additional water damage
- Contact a restoration contractor for an emergency assessment
Tornado damage is rarely limited to what you can see. Hidden structural shifts, roof deck compromise, and moisture intrusion can develop quickly. The sooner a professional walks the property, the better your outcome — and your claim.
