Picking Up After a Storm in Metairie, LA? We'll Take It From Here.
Metairie knows storms better than almost anywhere. Hurricane season brings winds that strip roofs and drive rain deep into homes, and Ida showed this community exactly what that looks like. Outside of hurricane season, severe thunderstorms and even winter tornadoes roll through, and heavy downpours can outrun the drainage pumps, sending street flooding into garages and ground floors. Whatever the storm leaves behind, ServiceMaster Elite Cleaning Services responds 24/7 with emergency storm cleanup Metairie families have counted on since 1996, including tarping, board-up, water removal, and full documentation for your insurance claim.
Hurricane & Tropical Storm Damage Restoration
Hurricane damage arrives in two waves, and the second one does most of the harm. Wind opens the building, then rain works through the opening for hours.
When storms move through Southeast Louisiana, they peel back roofs, break windows, and drive water into attics and wall cavities. Our hurricane damage restoration Metairie team responds as soon as conditions allow, tarping roofs and boarding openings to stop the intrusion before removing water and soaked materials inside.
From there we assess the damage room by room and document everything for your claim, so the house is secured now and the rebuild starts on solid footing.
Timing matters more after a major storm than at any other point. Hundreds of homes need help in the same week, so we staff for the surge instead of working a queue. A home tarped on day one comes out of the process in far better shape than one tarped on day five.
Tornado & Severe Thunderstorm Damage Cleanup
Storm season in Metairie runs longer than the hurricane calendar suggests. Winter and spring bring severe thunderstorm outbreaks, and South Louisiana sees tornadoes in months most of the country considers safe.
Straight-line winds do the same work as a hurricane on a smaller footprint. Limbs come down on rooflines, debris goes through windows, and shingles lift in patches that aren't obvious from the ground.
Our wind damage restoration crews secure the damage fast, remove water before it spreads, and dry out attics, ceilings, and walls.
Hidden moisture is the part homeowners miss. We track it with meters, because water from a roof puncture travels farther than it appears to. A single stained ceiling tile often means wet insulation across a large section of attic, and insulation that stays wet stops insulating and starts growing mold.

Storm Damage Doesn't Wait for the Next Forecast
A damaged home is an open home. Every hour after the storm, water, heat, and humidity keep working on it.
Within hours: water keeps coming in. A punctured roof or broken window lets rain pour into attics and walls long after the storm passes, soaking insulation, drywall, and flooring.
Within 24 to 48 hours: mold takes hold. In Metairie's humidity, storm water trapped in walls and carpet can start growing mold in a day or two, adding a second problem on top of the first.
Within weeks: small damage becomes structural. Wet framing rots, ceilings sag, and unsecured openings invite more weather and pests. Repairs that started as patch jobs become rebuilds.
The faster your home is secured and dried, the less the storm ends up costing.
