Storm and disaster restoration

When a hurricane, water or fire damages your building, the roof is usually where the trouble starts. Our team documents the damage, coordinates mitigation with our main partner, Capital Restoration, or one of our mitigation partners across the nation, and stays with you until Precision Construction and Roofing or River City Roofing Co. has the roof rebuilt.

Mitigation partner: Capital Restoration

Capital Restoration is our main partner for water mitigation, mold remediation and fire and smoke restoration, and we work with a few others across the nation so we can respond at a moment's notice. Our team has worked alongside Capital for 20 years, and we trust them for their fast response, quality workmanship and the care they show every property owner. Capital is a 360 Fire & Flood company, with offices from California to Pennsylvania.

Hurricane restoration

Wind lifts and tears roof systems, and rain gets in behind it. Our team has worked hurricane losses from Florida to Louisiana, from condo towers and hotels to churches and shopping centers.

  • Full documentation of wind and water damage, roof by roof
  • Storm date and wind data for your address
  • A roof system designed to today's wind codes
  • A new roof from Precision or River City, with our team on the file from start to finish

What to do first

  • Make sure everyone is safe. Stay off a damaged roof
  • Take photos and video before anything is moved or cleaned up
  • Stop more water getting in where you safely can
  • Keep receipts for emergency repairs
  • Call or text our team for an assessment

Water damage

Water from a failed or storm-damaged roof soaks insulation, ceilings and walls, and the longer it sits, the more it costs. The roof has to be stopped first, then the building dried out properly.

Find the source

We trace the leak back to the roof, flashing or wall where the water is actually getting in.

Stop it

Temporary protection on the roof so no more water gets inside while the claim and the rebuild get under way.

Dry it out

Crews from our mitigation partner, Capital Restoration, extract the water and dry the building to stop mold before it starts.

Document it

Photos, moisture readings and a written record of the damage, inside and out.

Hidden damage

Wet insulation under a flat roof can hold water for months. We check what you can't see from inside.

Rebuild the roof

The experts at Precision or River City install the new roof system, and our team stays on the file through the final walk-through.

Mold remediation

Moisture trapped in insulation, ceilings and walls after a roof leak can lead to mold growth within days. Our team identifies where the water entered and stops it at the roof, and Capital Restoration remediates the affected areas and returns the building to a safe condition.

Capital's remediation process

  • Inspection to identify the moisture source and affected materials
  • Evaluation of the extent of mold growth and potential risks
  • A remediation protocol written to IICRC guidelines
  • Containment and removal of affected porous and semi-porous materials
  • Cleaning and antimicrobial treatment to prevent regrowth
  • Final clearance to confirm the space is safe to reoccupy

Warning signs

  • Stains or discoloration on ceilings below the roof
  • A musty odor in upper floors, attics or ceiling spaces
  • Insulation that remains damp after a leak has been repaired
  • Bubbling paint or soft drywall near roof edges and exterior walls
  • A roof leak that went undetected for an extended period

Remediation steps from Capital Restoration's mold remediation page.

Fire and smoke damage

A fire damages a roof three ways: the fire itself, the heat and smoke, and the water used to put it out. Each one needs to be found and documented before the building is rebuilt.

What our team does

  • Secure the building and board up or tarp the roof
  • Document fire, heat, smoke and water damage to the roof structure and roof system
  • Bring in Capital Restoration for smoke, soot and water mitigation
  • Document what has to be replaced, and meet the adjuster on the construction scope
  • Rebuild the roof with Precision or River City

Damage that gets missed

  • Heat-damaged decking and framing that look fine from below
  • Smoke and soot in the attic and roof cavities
  • Water from firefighting soaked into insulation
  • Units and buildings next to the fire that took heat or water too
