Storm Damage Restoration in Philadelphia & the Delaware Valley
24/7 emergency tarping, board-up, water intrusion control, and complete storm damage restoration. We respond during and after the storm.
The Philadelphia region faces some of the most punishing weather in the mid-Atlantic — nor'easters with hurricane-force winds, summer thunderstorms with microbursts, and winter ice storms that collapse roofs and bring down trees. Storm damage moves fast, and the window between a compromised roof and a saturated interior is measured in minutes.
New Image Restoration operates 24/7 specifically because storm damage doesn't happen on a schedule. We respond during and immediately after storm events — deploying crews to tarp compromised roofs, board up broken windows and doors, and begin water intrusion control before the secondary damage of water infiltration compounds the original storm damage. Then we assess, document, and restore.
Over 15 years serving the Delaware Valley, we've responded to some of the region's most significant storm events — from Hurricane Ida flooding to major nor'easters affecting thousands of homes. We know how storm damage progresses, how to stop it, and how to coordinate with homeowner's insurance adjusters who will be managing thousands of claims simultaneously after a major storm.
What We Handle
Storm Damage Types We Handle
Wind & Roof Damage
High winds strip shingles, damage flashing, and compromise roof systems — allowing rain to enter and saturate interior ceilings, insulation, and wall assemblies. We respond with emergency tarping to stop water intrusion immediately.
Fallen Trees & Structural Impact
Falling trees and large branches cause immediate structural damage — roof penetrations, wall breaches, and window destruction that expose your interior to the elements. Structural assessment and immediate securing are the first priorities.
Hail Damage
Hail damages roofing shingles (granule loss and bruising), gutters, siding, skylights, and HVAC equipment. Hail damage may not be immediately visible but significantly shortens roof life and can lead to leaks with subsequent rain events.
Ice Dam Damage
Ice dams form at roof eaves when heat escapes from inadequately insulated attics, melting snow that refreezes at the cold eaves. Backed-up water forces under shingles and into wall and ceiling assemblies — causing significant interior water damage often discovered days after the storm.
Flooding & Water Intrusion
Storm-driven water enters through wind-damaged roofs, broken windows, overwhelmed foundation drainage, and flooded window wells. We handle both the storm damage entry points and the resulting interior water damage.
Lightning Strike Damage
Direct lightning strikes cause fire, electrical system damage, and structural damage requiring immediate response. We handle the fire and structural restoration while coordinating with electricians for electrical system inspection and repair.
Why Professional Matters
Don't Risk DIY Restoration
Emergency tarping and board-up done incorrectly makes things worse — an improperly secured tarp can become a sail in continued wind, causing additional damage. Structural assessment after major storm impact requires trained eyes to identify compromised elements that may not be visually obvious. Insurance documentation after storm damage requires specific cause-and-origin documentation that distinguishes covered storm damage from pre-existing conditions — a distinction adjusters look for closely. And the water intrusion that follows storm damage requires professional drying protocols, not just mopping and fans. Every phase of storm damage response is done better with professionals who do it every day.
Step By Step
Our Storm Damage Restoration Process
Emergency Response & Securing
We respond immediately with tarping, board-up, and temporary structural support as needed to stop ongoing damage and secure your property against additional weather exposure or unauthorized entry.
Damage Assessment & Documentation
Complete assessment and photo documentation of all storm damage — roof, structure, windows, interior, and contents. This documentation is the foundation of your insurance claim.
Water Intrusion Control
Any water that entered through storm damage is addressed with professional extraction and drying protocols. We identify the full extent of water migration using moisture meters and thermal imaging.
Insurance Coordination
We work directly with your insurance adjuster — walking through the damage, providing detailed estimates, and advocating for full coverage of all storm-related damage.
Structural Repairs
Damaged roofing, siding, windows, framing, and structural elements are repaired or replaced. We coordinate specialty trades (roofing, siding, masonry) as part of our complete restoration scope.
Interior Restoration
Water-damaged ceilings, walls, insulation, and flooring are dried, repaired, or replaced. We restore your interior finishes to match pre-damage condition.
Final Inspection & Walkthrough
A final inspection confirms all damage has been addressed, all repairs are complete, and your property is fully restored. We don't close a project until you're satisfied.
