When a storm hits, homeowners don’t always know the full extent of the damage right away — but that’s where we step in. At Kimber Services, our Emergency Storm Response team is built to act fast, protect your home, and prevent small issues from turning into major repairs. When the weather gets rough, you can count on us to be there when it matters most.
Here’s what our emergency response looks like from our side of the ladder.
1. Rapid Arrival When You Need Us Most
As soon as a homeowner contacts us after a storm, we mobilize quickly. We know that every minute counts — especially when water is coming in or shingles have blown off.
When we arrive, we immediately assess:
- Active leaks
- Missing shingles
- Damaged flashing or vents
- Fallen tree limbs
- Exposed or open roof areas
- Water inside the home or attic
Our goal is simple: stop the damage before it spreads.
2. Securing the Roof With Temporary Protection
Before we can repair anything permanently, we focus on keeping your home safe and dry. Depending on the situation, we may:
- Install emergency tarps
- Cover exposed decking
- Seal vulnerable areas
- Reinforce damaged slopes
- Remove debris that’s causing further damage
This step gives your home instant protection until the storm passes and permanent repairs can be made.
3. A Detailed Inspection to Uncover Hidden Damage
Storm damage is often more than what you can see from the ground. Once the immediate threat is handled, we go deeper with a full inspection.
We check for:
- Wind-lifted shingles
- Hail bruising
- Cracked materials
- Damaged flashing
- Compromised underlayment
- Vent, chimney, or skylight leaks
- Attic moisture or water penetration
We take photos and explain everything clearly so you can see the full picture — not just the obvious damage.
4. Handling Repairs the Right Way
After we understand the full scope, we create a plan for permanent repairs. These often include:
- Replacing damaged or missing shingles
- Fixing leaking flashing and vent boots
- Repairing underlayment and water barriers
- Reinforcing vulnerable areas
- Sealing or patching storm impact points
- Repairing interior damage (if needed)
Every repair we do is meant to last — not just get you through the next storm.
5. Helping With the Insurance Process
Storm damage often means dealing with insurance, and we help homeowners navigate that process with confidence.
We assist by:
- Documenting damage
- Providing inspection reports
- Meeting the adjuster on-site if needed
- Explaining what repairs are necessary and why
Our job is to make the process smoother and ensure nothing gets overlooked.
6. Leaving Your Home Clean and Protected
Before we leave, we make sure the property is clean, safe, and secure. We remove debris, clear walking areas, and confirm that the homeowner knows exactly what repairs were completed.
We want the homeowner to feel better the moment we drive away — not overwhelmed or uncertain.
