What Should You Do After Storm Damage to Your Home?

After a severe storm, most homeowners focus on cleanup.

Before repairs begin, consider documenting everything.

Helpful records include:

• Photos before cleanup
• Videos showing water levels
• Insurance claim numbers
• Contractor estimates
• Repair invoices
• Building permits for major repairs

Keeping organized records can help with insurance claims and provide useful documentation if questions about your property's condition arise in the future.
