Storm Damage vs. Water Damage — The Difference
Storm damage typically means wind-driven intrusion, impact, or roof failure. Water damage can come from storms, plumbing failures, or slow leaks that went unnoticed for months. The repair approach differs by source and how far the moisture spread. We evaluate both before recommending a scope—because restoring finishes over wet framing just delays a bigger problem.
When Structural Repair Is Part of the Scope
If water reached subfloors, joists, or wall framing, structural repairs need to happen before drywall goes back up. We identify that during the assessment so the rebuild is sequenced correctly. For framing-focused work, see Structural Repair.
