We restore storm damage 24/7 in San Bernardino County.

Our local Hesperia/Apple Valley, Barstow/Twentynine Palms, and Victorville teams restore storm damage in Hinkley every year. After a storm has passed, it's crucial to inspect your home for any potential damage caused by rain and wind. A thorough inspection can help identify issues early and prevent further damage.

Start by examining your roof for missing or damaged shingles. Look for any signs of water leaks in your attic or ceilings, such as water stains or dampness. These could indicate that water has penetrated your roof, potentially leading to more severe issues if not addressed promptly.

Next, check your gutters and downspouts to ensure they are still securely attached, directing water away from your home. Look for any signs of water pooling around your foundation and address them immediately to prevent water intrusion.

Windows and doors should also be inspected for cracks or broken seals. Even small openings allow water to seep in, leading to mold growth and structural damage over time.

Remember to inspect your home's exterior, including siding, soffits, and fascia, for any signs of damage. Loose or missing pieces can allow water and pests to enter. Conducting a thorough inspection after a storm can help you identify and address damage early, protecting your home from further harm.
