Storm damage restoration in the Salt Lake Valley & Park City, Utah

Wind, hail and fallen trees open a building to the weather. The first job is getting it closed up before the next round of rain or snow finds the same hole.

Got it. We’re calling you within 5 minutes.

Keep your phone nearby. If water is still spreading, shut off the main valve now, it’s usually in the basement or crawl space, on the street-facing wall.

While we’re on the way

The first 48 hours

1

Don’t climb the roof

Wet decking and loose shingles give way without warning. Leave the tarping to a crew with ladders and fall protection.

2

Watch for downed lines

A fallen tree can bring a service line down with it. Treat any downed wire as live and call the utility before you go near it.

3

Call your insurer, then us

Storm losses need same-day securing. We tarp, board up, and photograph on the same visit, and document for the claim from hour one.

Unsure about any of these? Call (385) 354-5813 and we’ll walk you through it while the crew drives.

What’s included

From roof tarp to move-back-in

  • Emergency roof tarping, board-up, and site security, same day

what Storm damage restoration covers

Common storm damage in Utah homes

Most storm claims trace back to a handful of the same failures. Knowing them helps you spot damage early, from Salt Lake City rooftops to Park City ridgelines.

Shingles and flashing stripped from a roof by canyon wind

Wind & shingle loss

Canyon winds strip shingles and flashing, and the roof leaks after.

Hail-bruised shingles and dented flashing on a roof

Hail & impact

Bruised shingles, split vents, and dented flashing that leak weeks later.

A fallen limb through a roof with rain following behind

Fallen trees & limbs

Limbs through roofs, walls, and windows, often with rain right behind.

A window broken by wind-driven debris, leaving the room open

Broken windows & doors

Wind-driven debris breaks glass and leaves the room open.

Rain-soaked insulation and drywall behind an opened wall

Water intrusion

Once the envelope is open, rain soaks insulation and drywall.

Meltwater backed up under the shingles at the eave of a roof

Ice dams

Meltwater backs up under shingles and finds its way into ceilings and walls.

One event, three losses

Wind, impact, and water arrive together

A storm loss is rarely just a roof. By the time the wind quits, most homes carry all three kinds of damage, which is why we handle them under one scope and one schedule instead of three separate contractors.

Loss 1

Wind & structure

Wind and impact pull roofing, siding, and framing apart, and that has to be rebuilt, not patched over.

Structural rebuild →
Loss 2

Water intrusion

Rain and meltwater follow the opening into insulation, drywall, and the floors below.

Water damage restoration →
Loss 3

Trapped moisture & mold

Moisture left in wall cavities and insulation grows mold, so we dry and verify before anything closes up.

Mold remediation →

Water removal

Wet insulation and drywall out, air movers in.

Stabilized

Envelope closed, drying verified, ready for build-back.

“Wind took half our shingles overnight. They tarped it the same afternoon and the photos made the claim straightforward.”

Denise

Wind damage, Taylorsville

★★★★★

“Hail we barely noticed turned into a ceiling stain by spring. They found the entry point and fixed the cause.”

Aaron

Hail damage, Millcreek

★★★★★

“A tree came through the roof while we were out of state. Board-up, daily updates, and rebuild, we never flew back early.”

Why Highwater

Why owners call us after a storm

One accountable company from the roof tarp to the last coat of paint, with a claim file your adjuster can actually work from.

Secured the same day

Local crews tarp and board up fast, so the next round of rain or snow cannot add to the loss.

Dry-in to build-back

Mitigation, contents, and reconstruction under one roof, one schedule, one point of contact.

Large-loss claim mastery

Room-by-room inventory, Xactimate scopes for structure and contents, and direct billing.

Dry before we rebuild

Wet materials come out first, then the cavity is dried and moisture readings verified before build-back.

Insurance claims

We handle your storm claim, start to finish

Wind and hail are named perils on most homeowner policies, and the file usually covers the roof, the interior water damage, and contents at once. We document room by room, scope it in Xactimate, work with any carrier, and bill directly, so your only real cost is your deductible.

How your claim goes, step by step

1

Secure & document day one

Tarping, board-up, and photos of everything before anything moves.

2

Room-by-room inventory

Every affected item logged for the contents side of the claim.

3

Scope in Xactimate

Structure, contents, and living expenses, in the format your adjuster uses.

4

Coordinate & bill direct

We answer the adjuster’s questions and bill your insurer for covered work.

5

You pay only your deductible

On a covered claim, that is your real out-of-pocket, and you know it up front.

Typically covered

Wind and hail damage to the roof and structure, the rain that gets in once the envelope is open, and the emergency tarping and board-up that prevent further loss.

Watch the fine print

Cosmetic hail limits, separate wind and hail deductibles, and damage blamed on age or wear can be limited. We flag these early and document to protect the claim.

On a covered storm claim, our goal is nothing from you past your deductible.
On a covered fire claim, our goal is nothing from you past your deductible.
Every carrier, no network required
We work for you and with any insurer. Direct billing and Xactimate scopes on every claim.
Ask about living expenses
If you are displaced, your policy likely covers lodging and meals. We help you document ALE from day one.

FAQ

Questions we hear

Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage?
Wind and hail are named perils on most homeowner policies, covering the roof, the interior water damage that follows, and the emergency tarping that stops the loss from growing. The variables are usually your deductible and any separate wind/hail deductible. We document it the way your adjuster needs and bill directly.
How long does storm damage repair take?
A tarp-and-dry response happens the same day you call. Repair timelines depend on scope, from a single ceiling repair to a full roof replacement. You get a written timeline after the first walkthrough, not a guess.
Is it safe to check roof damage myself?
No. Wet decking and loose shingles can give way without warning. Stay off the roof and let a crew with ladders and fall protection assess it.
Does a storm cause water damage too?
Almost always. Once wind or hail opens the roof or a window, rain and meltwater follow it in, so we dry and document that water damage alongside the storm repair. See our [water damage restoration](/services/water-damage-restoration) for how that side runs.
Can hail damage show up later instead of right away?
Yes. Bruised shingles and dented flashing often don't leak for weeks, which is why an inspection after a hail event is worth doing even if nothing looks wrong yet.
What if a tree fell but nothing looks damaged inside?
Have it checked anyway. A fallen limb can crack flashing or open a seam that won't show a stain for weeks. Request an assessment while it's easy to trace.

Roof open to the weather?

Rain and snow follow the wind. Call now, we tarp and secure the same day.
