Restore your home safely after severe weather with professional cleanup techniques that address water damage, debris removal, and health hazards specific to South Florida storm recovery!
Start Storm RecoveryHurricane and severe storm cleanup requires immediate, systematic action to prevent long-term damage, health hazards, and costly repairs. South Florida's hurricane season brings unique challenges including flooding, wind damage, power outages, and contaminated water that demand specialized knowledge and equipment to address safely and effectively. Professional storm cleanup involves understanding water damage categories, proper safety protocols, and restoration techniques that protect both property and health during the critical recovery period.
Post-storm cleanup extends far beyond simple debris removal, encompassing water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, sanitization, and restoration of damaged areas while maintaining safety standards throughout the process. The humid South Florida climate accelerates mold growth and bacterial contamination, making rapid response essential to prevent secondary damage that can exceed the original storm damage in both scope and cost, requiring professional expertise to navigate insurance claims and restoration priorities effectively.
Never enter flooded areas without proper safety equipment. Check for electrical hazards, gas leaks, and structural damage before beginning cleanup. Contact emergency services if you suspect any immediate dangers. Always prioritize personal safety over property recovery.

Proper safety assessment is critical before beginning any cleanup activities:
Inspect foundation, walls, and roof for visible damage. Look for cracks, sagging, or displaced materials that indicate structural compromise.
Warning signs: Tilting walls, cracked foundations, sagging rooflines, or doors/windows that won't close properly.
Action required: Contact structural engineer if any concerns exist before proceeding with cleanup.
Turn off electricity at main breaker if water damage is present. Check for downed power lines, damaged electrical panels, or exposed wiring.
Gas safety: Shut off gas supply if you smell gas or suspect leaks. Never use generators indoors or in enclosed spaces.
Water safety: Assume all standing water is contaminated. Use bottled water until municipal supply is confirmed safe.
Identify potential health hazards including sewage contamination, chemical spills, or hazardous materials displacement.
Contamination categories: Clean water (Category 1), gray water (Category 2), black water (Category 3) require different safety protocols.
Personal protection: Use appropriate PPE including gloves, masks, eye protection, and waterproof boots.
Photograph all damage before beginning cleanup. Document water levels, damaged items, and structural issues for insurance claims.
Immediate contact: Notify insurance company as soon as safely possible to begin claims process.
Professional assessment: Consider hiring public adjuster for significant damage to ensure proper claim handling.
