The Storms That Damage Rochester Properties
Windstorms and fallen trees
The March 8, 2017 windstorm blocked roads with fallen trees and poles across the Rochester area, and Greece and Irondequoit declared states of emergency. Wind can open roofs, strip siding and drop limbs through them, and we tarp and board up to stop rain from adding a water loss.
Power outages in storms
The October 15, 2017 storms left Monroe County RG&E customers without power, with Irondequoit and Pittsford among the hardest hit. Outages bring sump pump failures, thawing freezers and generator risk. Keep away from downed lines, and call us once the area is safe.
Blizzards and heavy snow load
The December 2022 blizzard in Erie County was worked through by the Town of Clarence's volunteer fire departments and highway crews. Heavy snow and ice can stress roofs, tear off gutters and drive water under shingles, and thaws can turn that into interior damage.

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 (716) 214-9730 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
