The Storms That Damage Big Rapids Properties
Tornadoes and straight-line winds
Tornadoes and straight-line winds can strip roofing, snap trees and leave a house open to rain. Wet insulation and ceilings follow quickly, so we tarp the roof and start drying right away.
Hail and falling trees
Hail can bruise shingles and open a roof, and a fallen tree can crush a roof or crack a wall. Even a small opening lets in water that spreads through ceilings and walls.
Lake-effect snow and ice dams
Heavy snow loads roofs, and warm air escaping from living space into the attic can melt snow that refreezes at the eaves. The resulting ice dams push water under shingles and into ceilings.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Missing or lifted shingles, or a tree limb on the roof
- Water stains on ceilings after wind-driven rain
- Broken windows, doors, or siding
- Water in the basement after a flash flood
- Ice dams along the roof edge with water inside the house
- A musty smell in the attic in the weeks after a storm
Stay away from downed power lines and do not enter a flooded basement until the power is off. If it is safe, cover openings and move valuables away from leaks, take photos of the damage, and call (231) 403-6955 so we can tarp, board up, and start drying.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how the storm got in: through the roof, through broken openings, or through the basement. Wind and hail damage often lets water into attics and wall cavities, where it spreads before stains appear. We inspect the whole path of the water and document it for your adjuster.
Tarping and board-up happen the same day. Drying usually takes 3 to 5 days, and repairs follow, with timing that depends on roofing and material availability after widespread storms.
What We Restore After a Storm
- Roofs and attics after wind and hail
- Ceilings and drywall after wind-driven rain
- Basements after flash floods
- Windows, doors, and siding
- Ceilings and walls after ice dams
- Garages and outbuildings
- Contents and furniture
- Commercial roofs and storefronts
