Wind Damage Do's and Don'ts

{ Do }

• Inspect everything: basements, attics, backyard sheds. In particular, look carefully at the roof. Even if it looks solid, search for any evidence of leakage. Check the foundation for cracks or erosion, even if you don't have floodwater inside your house.
• Make sure that major systems like your furnace and air conditioner are working. Turn on all of your appliances. Make a written list of any damage you find.
• Corroborate any damages by taking photographs. If you have pre-storm pictures of your property and belongings, use them. The before and after photographs can substantiate how much property you lost or how strong a hit your home took.
• Make temporary repairs. This will prevent further damage to your property. For example, if the storm smashes a picture window, do what you can to cover the opening.
• Give your agent the phone numbers and addresses where you can be reached day or night.
• Be prepared, when the adjuster shows up, have available evidence of your loss, including itemized lists, appraisals, videos, still photos, receipts — whatever you can muster to prove what you owned and what it's worth

{ Don't }

• Attempt to use any electrical appliances that may have been close to fire, heat or water or while standing on wet floors, carpets or particularly wet concrete floors.
• Turn on ceiling fixtures if ceiling is wet as wiring may be damaged. Keep out of rooms where ceilings are sagging from retained water.
• Go into rooms with standing water if the electricity is still on.
• Lift tacked down carpet without professional help. Lifting the carpet incorrectly could promote damage and de-lamination.
• Leave colored items on wet floors (newspapers, magazines, etc.) as color may bleed.
• Wait to call for professional help. Damage from water and bacteria growth can begin within hours.
