Storm Damage in Columbus? Here's How We Restore Your Home Fast

Storms hit hard—and when they do, your home needs real help, real fast. Whether it’s wind damage, tree impacts, broken windows, or roof leaks, you need someone who’ll treat your home like their own. At Total Home Water Restoration, we’ve helped dozens of families across Columbus, Grove City, Hilliard, and beyond bounce back after Ohio’s worst weather.

Let’s walk through what storm restoration looks like when you call us.

1. Emergency Response—We Show Up Fast

When a storm blows through, we don’t waste time. You call, we answer—380-246-1837. Whether it's midnight or Monday morning, we’ll be there to board up windows, tarp roofs, and prevent further water damage.

Common storm emergencies we handle:

• Collapsed ceilings from heavy rain

• Roof leaks and broken shingles from high winds

• Basement flooding from clogged downspouts

• Tree damage to roofs or siding

2. Damage Assessment—Straight Talk, No Surprises

We don’t guess—we inspect. Tyler Zimmerman or a trusted crew member will walk your property with you, documenting everything with photos and moisture readings. Then we explain your options, plain and simple.

You’ll know:

• What’s damaged

• What needs replaced vs. what can be dried out

• What your insurance likely covers

• What your next steps are

3. Temporary Protection—Stop the Bleeding

Storms don’t always stop at one hit. That’s why we immediately install:

• Roof tarps to prevent leaks

• Window board-ups to stop water and intruders

• Dehumidifiers and fans to dry soaked interiors

According to IICRC S500 standards, acting within the first 24–48 hours after water exposure can prevent mold and structural rot.

4. Full Repair and Restoration

Once the storm passes and the damage is secure, we handle everything from:

• Roof repair or full roof replacement

• Drywall tear-out and ceiling patching

• Flooring removal and reinstall (laminate, hardwood, carpet)

• Mold treatment if needed (per S520 standards)

Every repair is done to IRC/IBC 2021 code for Ohio, including proper attic ventilation and insulation to avoid future moisture issues.

5. Dealing with Insurance—We’ve Got Your Back

We’ve worked with every major home insurer in central Ohio. We document damage thoroughly, provide scoped estimates, and help you navigate the adjuster process without the stress.
