You've just experienced a terrifying storm that damaged your Portland home. But now what? If you don't act fast and make the right moves, you'll be in for even more headaches with costly repairs and dangerous hazards knocking at your doorstep. Surebuild Restoration can help, but before you give us a call, let's cover some essential safety tips that every homeowner should nail down.

You're in the eye of the storm now, don't make it worse. First things first, assess the damage but don't get reckless. The sound of crackling live wires is a ringing alarm, literally. Steer clear of any downed power lines. Sizzle, zap, and you're toast. Report them to your local power company or the property owner immediately.

Flash floods are your worst nightmare. Heavy rain and broken pipes can cause a torrent inside your home, and flooding can lead to black mold. You don't want that. Wear protective gear like gloves and boots when dealing with water damage. Turn off your electricity and gas lines. Don't power up any appliances while there's water on the floor.

Roof damage? Think twice before you climb to the stars. You may be tempted to assess your roof damage firsthand, eager to climb that wobbly ladder straight to doom—bad idea. Roof damage can be hazardous even for experienced professionals. Besides, you don't need to risk your life. Snap photos from ground level and forward those to your insurance company.

Ducks in a row: call your insurer. One of the smartest moves after storm damage is calling your insurance provider ASAP. Get your claim started whenever you can, but don't wait on them to start repairs. Document everything, including photos and receipts. Keep every breadcrumb you can. Time is of the essence. Waiting only causes more damage and headaches.

Bring in a professional. Yeah, you think you're a fix-it-all whiz, but now's not the time for DIY heroics. Bring in a team of seasoned experts who know the ropes in Portland storm damage restoration. Save yourself from costly slip-ups, heartache, and waste of time. Go with the pros who know what they're doing.

Take charge, act fast, and follow these safety tips to prevent more damage, hazards, and heartaches. And know when it's time to call in the big guns to restore order to your haven.
