How hurricanes cause water damage
Hurricanes combine several water damage sources at once: storm surge flooding, extended heavy rainfall, and wind-driven rain forced through roofing and siding that would normally keep water out.
Why response speed matters even more during hurricanes
Widespread storm damage means many homes need help at once. Our network prioritizes active hurricane-related emergencies and works to connect you with a local provider as quickly as availability allows.
What to do before help arrives
Once it's safe to return home, avoid entering flooded areas until power has been confirmed off, and begin documenting damage with photos for your insurance claim.
Insurance note
Storm surge and flood damage from a hurricane often require separate flood insurance, while wind-driven rain damage may fall under standard homeowners coverage. See our guide on insurance coverage for water damage for more detail.
