What is a Post-Storm Damage Assessment?
After a storm passes, the first question for an owner who is out of state is simple: how is the house? A Post-Storm Damage Assessment answers it with a client-priority visit from True North Home Watch. We walk the inside and outside of your home and document what we see.
The visit is a visual inspection. We look for visible damage, check accessible areas for water intrusion and leaks, and check the A/C and humidity. Everything is recorded in a dated photo report, with an update to you, so you have a clear record of your home's condition after the storm.
Roads and neighborhoods can be closed or unsafe after a storm, so access can be delayed. Because we live and work locally, we know when your area reopens and come as soon as it is safe. If a service provider is needed, we can help coordinate one with your approval.
What’s included
What is included in a Post-Storm Damage Assessment?
Client-priority visit
Your home is on our storm priority list, so the post-storm visit is scheduled as soon as it is safe to reach your area.
Exterior damage check
We walk the outside of the home and note visible damage, such as roof or gutter issues seen from the ground, screens and fallen debris.
Interior walkthrough
We go through the inside of the home and note anything that looks different from your last report or pre-storm photos.
Water intrusion check
We check accessible areas for water intrusion, such as stains on ceilings and walls, wet floors and signs of leaks.
A/C check
We confirm whether the air conditioning is running, since a power outage can leave a closed-up home hot and humid.
Humidity check
We record the indoor humidity so you can see whether moisture is building up while the home is empty.
Dated photo report
We photograph what we find, inside and out, and send a dated photo report that you can keep with your records.
Vendor coordination
If something needs a service provider, we help coordinate one with your approval. The provider bills you directly.

Answers
What do people ask about Post-Storm Damage Assessment?
What is a post-storm damage assessment?
It is a priority, documented inspection of your home as soon as it is safe after a storm. True North Home Watch checks inside and outside for visible damage, looks for water intrusion and leaks in accessible areas, checks the A/C and humidity, and sends a dated photo report and an update.
How much does it cost?
The price depends on home size: $225 for homes up to 2,500 sq. ft. and $300 for homes from 2,501 to 5,000 sq. ft. Repairs and third-party costs are separate and billed by the provider. We confirm the price with you before we start. For homes over 5,000 sq. ft., call (239) 301-8657 for a quote.
How soon after the storm will you visit?
We visit as soon as it is safe. Roads or your neighborhood may be closed or unsafe because of damage in the area, so access can be delayed. We live and work locally, so we know when your area reopens, but we cannot guarantee a specific time. We will keep you updated until we are on site.
Will the photo report help with my insurance claim?
The dated photo report documents your home's condition after the storm, which many owners find helpful when talking to their agent or adjuster. Your insurer makes all coverage decisions, and we cannot promise a claim outcome. Check your policy and next steps with your insurance agent, and keep the photo report with your records.
How do I get started?
Request a free walkthrough from our contact page, call (239) 301-8657 or email info@truenorthhws.com. We confirm your home size, address and access details and add your home to our storm priority list. It is best to do this before a storm is named, so you are already on the list when the forecast changes.
Can you repair damage you find?
No. We report what we see and, if you approve, help coordinate a service provider such as a roofer, restoration company or electrician. The provider bills you directly for the repair. Our visit is a visual inspection and does not include repairs or structural evaluation, so a specialist may still be needed for the next step.
