Types of Storm Damage We Handle

New Jersey weather is unpredictable, and no two storms cause the same kind of damage. Here's how we handle each type.

Wind and High Wind Damage

Strong winds strip shingles, tear off siding, shatter windows, and send debris into your home. Even minor-looking wind damage often hides compromised structural elements below the surface. We perform a full structural inspection to catch those issues before they become expensive ones.

Flooding and Heavy Rain Damage

Heavy rain overwhelms gutters, pushes water into basements, saturates crawlspaces, and causes real structural damage in hours. Speed matters: standing water left for 24 to 48 hours creates conditions for mold and wood rot. Our extraction equipment pulls water fast and completely, so structural materials don't stay saturated long enough to become a bigger problem.

Hail Damage

Hail dents and cracks roofing materials, damages gutters, breaks skylights, and compromises exterior finishes in ways that aren't immediately obvious. Left unaddressed, it opens paths for water that lead to rot, mold, and insulation failure. We assess the full extent of hail impact and coordinate repairs before water can get in.

Snow, Ice, and Nor'easter Damage

New Jersey nor'easters bring heavy snow, ice dams, and burst pipes. Each one is a serious structural hazard. Ice dams force water up under shingles and into walls; heavy snow stresses roofing structures. We respond quickly to clear dangerous buildup, repair roof damage, and address any water intrusion before it spreads.

Thunderstorm, Lightning, and Electrical Damage

Lightning strikes cause fires, electrical surges, and structural damage that can affect large sections of a property at once. Our emergency team responds to assess fire and water damage, secures the structure, and handles restoration from first contact through final reconstruction.

Tree Damage and Fallen Debris

Fallen trees and large branches are among the most destructive things a storm can do: they punch through roofs, break walls, and can trap occupants inside. We remove the tree, clear compromised materials, tarp and board up openings to stop weather exposure, and get the repair process started the same day.

Inspection: Free Assessment

The moment we arrive, our certified technicians start a full damage assessment: roof and structural integrity, exterior openings, water penetration points, interior moisture levels, and any immediate safety hazards. We use moisture meters, thermal imaging, and direct inspection to document everything accurately. That assessment becomes your restoration plan and gives your insurance adjuster what they need to process the claim.

Protection: Prevent Further Property Damage

Before restoration work begins, we lock down your property against further weather exposure. That means emergency roof tarping, boarding up broken windows and doors, and reinforcing compromised walls. We move fast. The goal is stopping the damage here, not letting it get worse overnight.

Water Removal: Extract and Thoroughly Dry

If the storm brought water in, we start extraction right away. Our industrial equipment pulls standing water fast. Once the bulk water is out, commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers run through the affected areas while we track drying progress daily. Moisture readings confirm when the structure is fully dry. Don't skip this step: inadequate drying is the single biggest driver of mold growth after storm damage.

Debris Clean Up: Remove and Dispose of Remnants

Once the property is stabilized and dry, our crews take over. We clear debris, repair or replace damaged roofing, drywall, flooring, insulation, and structural components, and bring your home or business back to pre-storm condition. Calvary is a full-service restoration and construction company. We handle the full job, from mitigation through reconstruction. You won't be handed off to a separate contractor at any point.

Board-Up & Property Securing Services

We arrive with everything needed to weatherproof on the spot. That gives you time to plan while the full restoration gets organized.

Emergency Roof Tarping: A damaged or collapsed roof exposes everything below to the next round of rain. We apply heavy-duty tarps to damaged sections fast, creating a barrier that holds until permanent repairs can be made. Proper tarping matters: a badly secured tarp or a DIY fix can actually channel water into the wrong spots and cause more damage.

Board-Up Services: Broken windows, damaged doors, and open walls let in water, pests, and anyone who shouldn't be there. Our board-up crews use structural plywood to seal every opening. We work fast; most emergency board-ups are finished within hours of arrival.

Emergency Water Extraction: We deploy industrial extraction equipment to pull standing water before it saturates structural materials, undermines flooring adhesives, or creates conditions for mold to start. Standing water is a clock. We respond fast.

Flood Restoration: Major flooding requires a coordinated response: water removal, structural drying, mold prevention, and full reconstruction. Our team has the equipment and experience to handle large-scale flood events, whether that's a single room or an entire floor. We restore your property to pre-flood condition and document everything for your insurance claim.

Mold Prevention After Storm Damage

One of the most serious consequences of storm damage isn't visible right away. When water gets into walls, floors, or ceiling cavities, mold can start developing within 24 to 48 hours. The longer it goes unaddressed, the larger the project and the higher the cost.

Mold prevention is built into every storm damage job we do. After extraction, we monitor moisture throughout your property with calibrated meters and thermal imaging cameras. We don't call it done until readings confirm the structure is at an acceptable moisture level. Dehumidifiers stay running until the numbers say so, not just until the air feels dry.

If mold is already present when we arrive, or develops during drying, our certified mold remediation specialists handle it. We contain the affected area, remove contaminated materials, apply antimicrobial treatments, and restore the space to safe, healthy condition. You won't be handed off to another contractor or put on a waiting list. Same team, same timeline.

If your New Jersey home took on water from a storm and you're worried about mold, call us for a free inspection. Catching it early is almost always cheaper and less disruptive than dealing with it once it's spread.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the answers to a few of the most common questions we receive around water, fire, and mold damage.

Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage restoration?

In most cases, yes. Standard homeowners insurance covers sudden storm damage: wind, hail, lightning strikes, and resulting water intrusion. Coverage specifics vary by policy, and flood damage from rising water typically requires separate flood insurance. Calvary Restoration works directly with your insurance company from day one. We document the damage and work with your adjuster directly to make sure nothing gets left off the claim. Our goal is to maximize your payout.

How quickly can you respond to a storm damage emergency?

We're available 24/7, 365 days a year: weekends, holidays, and 3 am. Our standard is on-site within one hour of your call anywhere in Central New Jersey. During severe storms when call volume spikes, we prioritize by severity and run multiple crews to keep response times down.

Can you handle mold problems caused by storm damage?

Yes. Mold remediation is a core service at Calvary Restoration, not an add-on. Our certified specialists assess, contain, and fully remediate mold from storm-related water intrusion, whether it was there when we arrived or developed during drying. We handle the remediation and the structural repairs afterward. Same company, one timeline.

What should I do immediately after experiencing storm damage?

First, make sure your family is safe. Stay away from downed power lines, standing water near electrical panels, and structurally compromised areas. Once you're out of harm's way, call us. Don't start cleaning up or moving debris. The damage needs to be documented in its original state for your insurance claim. Stay out of areas with visible structural damage; if a roof or wall is compromised, limit exposure to the affected interior until our team arrives.

How long does storm damage restoration take?

Timeline depends on the extent of the damage. Minor water intrusion and cleanup typically wraps up in 3-5 days. Moderate structural damage with drying and reconstruction runs 1-3 weeks. Major events with flooding and full reconstruction can take 4-8 weeks or more. We give you a realistic estimate after the initial inspection and stay in contact throughout. We also coordinate directly with your insurance company so claim delays don't hold up the work.

Do you service my area of New Jersey?

Calvary Restoration is based in Metuchen and serves all of Central New Jersey, including Middlesex County, Union County, Somerset County, and surrounding communities. We take storm damage calls throughout the region, any time of day or night. Call to confirm your location. If we can be on-site within the hour, we will be.

Will filing a storm damage insurance claim raise my rates?

Filing a storm damage claim works differently than an at-fault liability claim. When a weather event hits an entire region, insurers often adjust rates across all policyholders regardless of who filed. In most cases, homeowners who filed a storm damage claim are not penalized significantly compared to neighbors who didn't. Talk to your insurance agent about your specific policy. In the meantime, we can help you document everything so your claim is solid if you decide to file.
