Storm damage restoration in Altoona addresses the destruction that Iowa’s severe weather inflicts on homes and businesses every year.

When You Need Storm Damage Restoration

• Roof damage — Missing shingles, punctured decking, and damaged flashing let rain into attics and wall cavities.
• Wind damage — Straight-line winds and tornadoes tear siding, break windows, and compromise structural framing.
• Hail damage — Hailstones puncture roofing, crack siding, and break windows that lead to water intrusion.
• Water intrusion — Rain entering through storm damage soaks insulation, drywall, and framing.
• Fallen trees — Trees and large branches that fall on homes cause structural damage and create openings for water.
• Flooding — Storm-related flooding requires immediate extraction, drying, and sanitization.
