Emergency Storm Damage Restoration
Living in Florida, you're well aware of the risks that come with such a disaster-prone area. With frequent tropical storms, heavy rainfall, and other natural hazards, severe weather can hit unexpectedly.
That’s why Dreyer’s DKI offers around-the-clock emergency storm damage restoration services to stabilize your property and prevent further loss.
Our extensive solutions are designed to fully mitigate disaster damage and protect your property from further harm:
Roof Tarping
When strong winds or flying debris damage your roof, immediate protection is critical. We provide professional tarping to prevent interior water intrusion and protect structural integrity until permanent repairs can be made.
Board-Up Services
Broken windows or compromised doors after a storm can leave your home exposed to further water damage or intrusion. Our team quickly boards up vulnerable openings to secure the structure and deter vandalism.
Structural Stabilization
If storm damage weakens load-bearing components or shifts your building’s foundation, we deploy emergency structural reinforcements to prevent collapse and keep the property safe for inspection and repair.
Debris Removal
Storms often scatter hazardous debris such as fallen trees, shattered glass, and broken siding that pose safety and liability risks. Our crews clear debris efficiently and dispose of materials in accordance with Florida safety standards to ensure a safe mitigation process.
Water Extraction
Rain and floodwaters can quickly saturate flooring, drywall, and insulation. We use commercial-grade extraction equipment to remove standing water and begin the drying process immediately to stop mold growth and further damage.
Types of Storm Damage
Storms in Northeast Florida take many forms, each capable of causing unique and costly damage to your home or business. Our team is trained to respond to all storm types with our complete storm damage restoration services, using specialized equipment and expertise tailored to your property’s needs.
Hurricane Damage
Florida residents are no strangers to hurricanes. These powerful storms can tear off roofs, flood interiors, and leave properties structurally compromised. Our team provides emergency hurricane damage restoration before, during, and after hurricane landfall.
We specialize in tarping, boarding, flood mitigation, and full structural repair to protect the structural integrity of your property and your safety.
Tornado Damage
While less common than hurricanes, tornadoes do occur in Florida, bringing significant mass destruction with them. These violent wind events can cause extreme destruction, including roof collapses, downed trees, shattered windows, and widespread structural damage.
We act fast to clear debris, assess safety risks, and begin emergency stabilization. Our expert tornado damage restoration services bring the skills and equipment needed to help you recover from tornado-related damage.
Flood Damage
Flooding is a common effect of storm surges, overflowing rivers, or torrential rain. When floodwaters invade your property, we act fast with skilled flood damage restoration services. Our team conducts pumping, moisture detection, drying, dehumidification, and damage repair to stop mold growth and restore your home’s safety and value.
Hail Damage
Even small hailstones can cause significant damage to roofing, siding, gutters, windows, and outdoor HVAC systems. After a hailstorm, we inspect your property for cracks, dents, and impact points that may lead to long-term leaks or failures.
Our team is prepared and trained to handle any severity of hail damage and is on standby to assist you 24/7 whenever you need us.
Wind Damage
Strong straight-line winds can rip shingles, topple trees, or send debris crashing into siding and vehicles. We respond quickly to secure your property, clean up hazards, and begin repairs. Fast action prevents further deterioration caused by rain and wind exposure.
Roof Damage
Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against every storm. Whether it’s missing shingles, puncture holes, or leaks, we provide full post-storm roof damage restoration, including inspections, temporary tarping, moisture mapping, and permanent roof repairs to ensure your home stays dry and secure.
