Storm Damage Repair
Last Updated: August 2026
Storm damage repair is the emergency and rebuild work that secures a property after wind, hail, snow, or flood impacts – including board-up, tarp, water extraction, debris removal, and reconstruction of roofs, siding, and interiors. Utah homeowners need it after spring windstorms, late-season snow loads, hail, and storm-driven water intrusion that leave a home unsafe or open to more damage overnight.
What does storm damage repair include?
- 24/7 emergency response
- Board-up and roof tarping
- Inspection and damage assessment
- Water extraction and drying after storm intrusion
- Debris removal and structural drying
- Roof, siding, window, and interior rebuild
- Insurance documentation support
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage?
Many sudden storm losses – wind, hail, and related water intrusion through storm-created openings – are covered under homeowners policies, within deductibles and exclusions. Gradual wear, flooding from rising water, and some drainage issues may need separate coverage. Your adjuster confirms what applies.

How quickly can a storm damage restoration crew respond?
CDS is available 24/7. After a storm, the priority is securing openings, stopping water intrusion, and documenting damage so secondary mold and structural issues do not set in overnight. Storm hit your property? Call CDS 24/7.
What is the difference between storm damage repair and standard contracting?
Standard contracting schedules remodel work. Storm damage repair starts with emergency mitigation – board-up, tarp, water extraction, and drying – then rebuilds to pre-loss condition with insurance-ready documentation. CDS handles both mitigation and reconstruction so you are not coordinating separate emergency and rebuild vendors.
How do I document storm damage for an insurance claim?
Photograph openings, debris, and interior water paths as soon as it is safe. Note the date and storm event, keep damaged materials when the adjuster requests them, and call a restoration team that can board up and produce a written scope. Local response details: Ogden.
