First-hour checklist

  2. Stop further damage if it is safe. Shut off water for leaks, catch drips, and move belongings away from openings.
  3. Photograph everything. Take wide and close-up photos and video of damage before any cleanup, including hail next to a coin.
  4. Don't climb the roof or cut trees. Leave roofs, tarping and tree removal to professionals.
  5. Notify your insurer. Report the loss and keep receipts. Many storm losses may be covered, depending on your policy.
  6. Get one free inspection. One licensed local pro documents the damage and gives you a photo report and estimate to share with your adjuster.
