The key to water damage restoration after a storm in Santa Rosa Beach is a thorough assessment of the situation. There is usually some undeniable water damage such as standing water on the floor, water-logged carpets, or wet furniture. An initial visual inspection reveals these problems easily.

In addition to structural damage, there is also water damage to specific items such as furniture, drapes, rugs, clothes, electronics or other household items.
