Storm damage repair NJ: what storms do to a house
New Jersey gets its share of nor'easters, tropical storms and summer downpours. When they hit, water finds its way in: through a basement stairwell, around a window, through a wall or up through a basement floor. Wind adds its own damage.
Our storm damage repair work covers the inside of the house, where most of the expensive damage ends up. We remove wet drywall, flooring and insulation, dry the space, and rebuild. We also look at how the water got in, whether that's drainage, a failed door or window seal, or grading, so the next storm doesn't repeat the job.
The photo at the top of this page is a real job: an exterior basement stairwell that filled with storm water up to the sliding door.
The National Weather Service office in Mount Holly issues the storm and flood warnings for most of New Jersey, and Ready.gov flood guidance lists what to do before and after. When you need storm damage repair, NJ homeowners can text us photos as soon as it's safe.
How we repair storm damage.
We repair what the storm damaged and fix what let the water in.
Inside and outside
We look at where water came in and how far it traveled inside the house.
Stop further damage
Wet materials and belongings are moved, and open entry points are addressed.
Take out wet materials
Wet drywall, carpet, pad and insulation are removed so the structure can dry.
Dry the structure
Drying equipment runs until framing and subfloors are ready to close in.
Address the entry point
Drainage, grading, seals or waterproofing improvements so it doesn't happen again.
Finish the rooms
New drywall, flooring, trim and paint by our remodeling crew.
Storm damage work we handle.
Interior repairs are where we focus, together with the drainage and waterproofing fixes that keep it from repeating.

The repair is where it becomes an upgrade.
If a storm flooded a finished basement, the repair can also fix the things that never worked well down there, from flooring choices to layout.
Because our remodeling crew does the rebuild, you're not handing the job to a second company halfway through. The person who saw the damage is the person who puts the room back together, and if you've been wanting a better layout, new floors or a fresh color, this is the moment to do it.
Get ready before the next storm.
Clear gutters and drains
Clogged gutters and area drains are a common way storm water gets into basements.
Check stairwell drains
Exterior basement stairwells need a clear, working drain at the bottom.
Test the sump pump
Make sure it runs, and consider a battery backup for storms that knock out power.
Slope soil away
Soil should drop away from the foundation so water drains away from the house.
