Hurricanes can be one of the most devastating storms known to man when it comes to damage. Not only do hurricanes completely destroy hundreds of homes every year, but they also affect others in the form of water damage and debris. If your home has recently held up against a hurricane, there is a lot of work you will need to pursue in order to get it back the way it was. Cleaning up debris is only the first step on the road to cleaning up after a hurricane, and this video gives us a brief guide on what you should do immediately following the storm.
First of all, you should assess the damage to your home. Make sure your house is livable before you move back in.
If you have any doubts at all, it is a good idea to rent a hotel room for a few nights until you can clean up properly. Make a list of contractors that you will need to complete work repairs on your home. This can include a local roofer, a water damage specialist, and a general contractor for foundation repairs. Have friends and family to help you in cleaning, as reclaiming your home is not a single person job.
