As hurricane season begins, most advice centers around preparation—and for good reason. But what happens after the storm passes? For home and business owners dealing with water damage, flooding, structural concerns, and debris, knowing what to do next can make all the difference in protecting your property and speeding up recovery.
At ServiceMaster TRS, we specialize in helping our Connecticut customers navigate the aftermath of hurricanes and other severe weather events. Here’s how we’re here for you—when the wind dies down and the real work begins.
Fast Response When You Need It Most
Time is critical after a hurricane. Moisture left untreated can lead to mold, structural damage, and costly repairs. Our teams are trained to respond quickly, assess the situation, and get to work right away to minimize further damage. Whether your roof has been compromised or your property is soaked from storm surge, we bring the expertise and resources to help stabilize your space. Our teams are positioned throughout the state to respond rapidly, whether you’re in New London, Stamford, Hartford, or anywhere in between.
Specialized Equipment for Thorough Restoration
Restoring hurricane damage takes more than just fans and mops. Our crews use advanced, professional-grade equipment designed to detect hidden moisture, extract standing water, and dry affected areas efficiently. From air movers and dehumidifiers to specialty tools for hard-to-reach spaces, we’re equipped to handle both visible and unseen damage.
We Work Directly with Your Insurance Company
Filing a claim after a major storm can be overwhelming, especially when you're already dealing with emotional and logistical stress. We work closely with your insurance company to help document damage, provide necessary reporting, and streamline the claims process. Our team has years of experience navigating insurance protocols so you don’t have to do it alone.
What NOT to Do Before We Arrive
In the aftermath of a hurricane, it’s tempting to jump in and start cleaning up—but certain actions can cause more harm than good. Here's what you should avoid until our team gets there:
- Don’t use household vacuums to remove water. This can be dangerous and ineffective.
- Don’t turn on ceiling fixtures if ceilings are wet. Electrical shock and collapse risks are real.
- Don’t remove structural materials or insulation. It may be hiding more severe damage or contamination.
- Don’t discard damaged items yet. We can help document losses for insurance purposes.
