The Storms That Damage New Orleans Properties
Wind and falling trees
Ida came ashore as a Category 4 with 150 mph winds, leaving uprooted trees on houses, collapsed ceilings, and roofs torn off. A tree or a lost roof section lets rain into attics, insulation, and ceilings within minutes; we tarp and board up first.
Lake surge
Ida's surge from Lake Pontchartrain flooded LaPlace, where 80 percent of the parish's rescues took place, and Mandeville has seen 9-foot surges in Katrina, Isaac, and Ida. Surge water is contaminated, so affected materials come out before drying.
Days without power
Ida knocked out all eight transmission lines into the New Orleans area. Without air conditioning, wet materials grow mold quickly, so we bring drying equipment and power and start as soon as the home is safe to enter.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Missing or lifted shingles, or granules in the gutters after hail
- Water stains on ceilings after wind-driven rain
- Broken windows or doors
- Fallen trees or limbs on the roof
- Water inside after a flash flood or tropical storm
- Damp insulation in the attic
Stay away from downed power lines and do not enter a flooded room until the power is off. If it is safe, cover openings and move valuables away from leaks, take photos of the damage, and call (504) 504-4914.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how the storm got in: through the roof, through broken openings, or through flooding at ground level. Wind and hail damage often lets water into attics and wall cavities, where it spreads before it shows on a ceiling.
Tarping and board-up usually happen on the first visit. Drying takes 3 to 5 days in most homes, and repairs follow once the structure is dry and the scope is approved.
What We Restore After a Storm
- Roofs, after tarping and repair
- Attics and insulation
- Ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain
- Windows, doors, and siding
- Ground-floor rooms after flash floods
- Flooring and subfloors
- Fences and exterior structures
- Contents and electronics
Insurance and Documentation for Storm Damage Restoration
We provide Direct Insurance Coordination on storm claims, with photos, readings, and a written scope for your adjuster. Wind and hail damage are usually handled under your homeowner policy, while rising floodwater usually needs a separate flood policy, and some coastal policies carry a separate windstorm or hurricane deductible. We document how the water got in so your adjuster can apply the right coverage.
