Hurricanes are no stranger to Florida, and while we can’t stop the storm from coming, we can control what happens afterward. Once the winds calm and the rain stops, it’s time to assess the damage and take action—before small issues turn into big, expensive problems.
At iContracting, we’ve been helping homeowners recover from hurricane damage for over a decade, and we’ve seen it all. Here are our top tips for handling water damage, roofing repairs, and getting that tarp on right, along with how we can help make the process smoother.
Tackle Water Damage Immediately (Don’t Wait!)
Water damage can sneak up on you, but ignoring it can lead to long-term problems like mold growth and structural damage. As soon as it’s safe to return home, inspect for leaks, puddles, or moisture on walls and floors.
Pro Tip: If you’re dealing with a flooded room, move any furniture or valuables off the floor immediately. Waiting too long can end up with warped wooden floors and soaked furniture. Next, open all windows and doors to get air circulating and start drying out the area.
How we can Help
iContracting offers water damage restoration services that include moisture detection, drying, and mold remediation. We’ll inspect your home from top to bottom, using specialized tools to find hidden water pockets that could lead to long-term damage.
Roofing Repairs: Stop Leaks Before They Get Worse
Your roof is your first line of defense in a storm, and even if it seems like it held up, a few missing shingles or a small leak can lead to major issues if left unchecked. After a hurricane, it’s important to inspect your roof—or better yet, have us do it for you.
Pro Tip:
- Check for any missing or damaged shingles.
- Look inside your attic for water stains or signs of daylight peeking through the roof.
- If you’re not comfortable inspecting your roof yourself, give us a call.
How We Can Help
At iContracting, we offer fast, thorough roof inspections and repairs. Whether you need a few shingles replaced or a full roof overhaul, we’ll make sure your home is protected from the next rainstorm.
Tarping: Protect Your Home While You Wait for Repairs
Sometimes, getting immediate roofing repairs isn’t possible—especially when everyone else in town is dealing with hurricane damage too. That’s where tarps come in. A properly installed tarp can prevent further water damage while you wait for your roof to be fixed.
How We Can Help
We provide professional tarp installation to secure your home until repairs can be made. We use heavy-duty tarps and ensure they’re fastened securely to withstand wind and rain, giving you peace of mind while you wait for a permanent solution.
