How storms get water into a house

New England storms don't need a hole in the roof to soak your ceilings. Wind-driven rain works its way under shingles and around flashing. A nor'easter can push water sideways into places that shed a normal rain just fine. And in winter, ice dams are their own problem: snow melts, refreezes at the eaves, and backs water up under the shingles and into the wall and ceiling below.

By the time you see the stain on the ceiling, the water's already in the attic insulation and the top of the wall. Our job is the inside: getting that water out and the structure dry. We coordinate with roofers on the outside repair.

Signs a storm got water into your house

After a big blow, walk the house and look for:

  • Brown rings or spreading stains on ceilings and upper walls
  • Drips or damp spots in the attic, especially near the eaves
  • Icicles and thick ice ridges along the roof edge in winter
  • Paint blistering near the top of an exterior wall
  • A musty smell in the attic or top-floor rooms after a storm
  • Soffit or fascia that's stained, sagging, or coming loose

How we handle storm water damage

First we find where the water came in and how far it spread, because storm water tends to travel along the top of walls and through ceilings before it shows itself. If the roof is still actively leaking, we'll help get a temporary cover on it or coordinate with a roofer so we're not drying a house that's still taking on water.

Then it's extraction and drying: wet attic insulation usually comes out, ceilings that are sagging or saturated get removed, and air movers and dehumidifiers run until everything reads dry. After that we rebuild the inside: ceilings, drywall, paint, insulation. The roof itself is a roofer's job, and we're glad to work alongside one.

Why storm damage can't wait for the weather to clear

After a storm, everyone in the neighborhood is calling someone, and it's tempting to wait your turn. But water that's already inside doesn't pause. Wet insulation loses its R-value and stays wet, ceilings get heavier and can come down, and mold starts within a couple of days. Getting the inside dried out fast is what keeps a roof leak from becoming a ceiling replacement.

Storm damage is usually covered

Sudden storm damage, wind-driven rain through a damaged roof, a tree limb opening up the house, is typically covered under a standard homeowners policy. Ice dam damage often is too. We document the storm damage and the water damage together, write the estimate to match the adjuster's scope, and bill your carrier directly.

Common questions about storm water damage

Do you fix the roof too?
We handle the inside: water extraction, drying, and rebuilding the ceilings, walls, and insulation the water damaged. The roof repair itself is a roofer's job. We work with roofers regularly and can coordinate so the outside gets buttoned up and the inside gets dried, in the right order.
What's an ice dam and why is it such a problem here?
An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the roof edge when snow melts higher up and refreezes at the cold eaves. The backed-up water gets under the shingles and into the house. Our winters and a lot of under-insulated older attics make them common across the Merrimack Valley.
Does insurance cover ice dam damage?
Often yes. The water damage from an ice dam is usually covered under a standard policy, though the specifics vary by carrier and policy. We document it carefully so the claim holds up.
There's a stain on my ceiling but it's not dripping. Do I still need you?
Probably. A stain means water has been there, and it usually means wet insulation and framing above it that you can't see. Dry on the surface doesn't mean dry in the cavity. It's worth getting moisture readings before it turns into mold.
How fast can you come out after a storm?
We answer 24/7 and aim to be there in about an hour. After a major storm we're busier, but water already inside the house is exactly the kind of call we prioritize.
