What Storm Damage Does to Kalamazoo Homes

Michigan weather hits Kalamazoo homes hard. Each season brings different problems. Spring flooding from rapid snowmelt. Summer storms with baseball-sized hail. Fall winds that topple mature trees. Winter ice that collapses gutters and damages roofs.

Common Storm Damage in Kalamazoo:

• Roof damage from hail, wind, and ice dams
• Water damage from storm flooding and roof leaks
• Siding damage from hail and flying debris
• Foundation cracks from freeze-thaw cycles
• Tree damage to roofs, cars, and power lines
• Basement flooding from overwhelmed storm drains

Older Kalamazoo homes face unique storm damage challenges. Tudor-style houses with steep roofs collect snow and ice. Ranch homes with lower rooflines suffer hail damage. Historic downtown homes deal with flooding from old drainage systems.

Newer subdivisions aren't immune to storm damage either. Thin siding dents from hail. Shallow foundations crack during freeze-thaw cycles. Poor grading causes water to pool against houses.

Emergency Steps After Storm Damage

Storm damage creates immediate safety hazards. Downed power lines. Broken glass. Structural damage that could collapse. Taking the right steps protects your family and preserves insurance claims.

What to Do First:

• Check for injuries - People first, property second
• Stay away from power lines - Even if they look safe
• Don't enter damaged structures - Wait for professional assessment
• Document everything - Take photos before cleaning up
• Contact your insurance company - Report claims immediately
• Call for emergency help - Tarping, water removal, security

What NOT to Do:

• Don't try to fix major storm damage yourself
• Don't throw away damaged items before photos
• Don't let contractors start work without insurance approval
• Don't wait days to call for help

Every hour you wait makes storm damage worse. Water soaks deeper into floors. Broken windows let in more weather. Damaged roofs leak into multiple rooms.

Emergency protection prevents additional storm damage while insurance gets sorted out.
