Storm Damage Repair for Delaware & Maryland Homes and Businesses
Once a storm has damaged your roof, siding, or windows, the interior of your property usually needs its own repair plan — separate from whatever exterior work a roofer or contractor is doing outside. C&B Complete Cleaning & Construction repairs the interior water and structural damage storms leave behind: soaked drywall, damaged ceilings, ruined flooring, and wet insulation from water that made its way inside.
We don't repair roofs, siding, or windows — that's a separate trade, and we're glad to work alongside whoever your property already has handling the exterior. What we handle is everything the water did once it got in. Call (302) 381-9891 for a storm-related water emergency — we answer 24/7, and a First Responder is on site within 90 minutes.
What We Repair After a Storm
Storm water damage typically affects drywall, ceilings, flooring, insulation, and trim — anything porous enough to soak up water and hold onto it. Depending on how long materials were wet and how contaminated the water was, some can be dried and kept, and some need to be removed and replaced. We'll tell you which is which before anything comes out, not after.
We don't handle the building envelope itself — roofing, siding, gutters, and window replacement stay with a roofing or exterior contractor. Once that work has the property weather-tight again, or once the opening is temporarily addressed, we take it from there on the inside.
Ceilings deserve a closer look than most people give them after a storm. A stain doesn't always mean the damage stopped at the surface — water that soaked insulation above a ceiling can keep dripping intermittently for days, which is why we check moisture levels above and around a stain, not just the visible spot, before deciding whether a ceiling section needs to come down or can be patched and painted.
Stabilizing the Interior Before Repairs Begin
Repairs can't start until the interior is actually dry — closing up a wall or laying new flooring over damp materials just traps the problem. We extract standing water and run drying equipment 24 hours a day before any repair work begins, and we take moisture readings throughout so we know materials are genuinely dry, not just dry to the touch. Our water extraction page and structural drying page cover that part of the process in more depth.
Our Storm Damage Repair Process
A storm damage repair job moves through the same stages regardless of how much of the interior was affected.
Inspection and Documentation
We assess the interior damage, identify which materials are affected, and document everything with photos, moisture readings, and an itemized scope priced with Xactimate — a record that holds up whether you're filing an insurance claim now or simply want it on file.
Interior Water Mitigation
Standing water comes out and drying equipment goes in. Most drying projects take 3 to 7 days, though some take longer depending on how much material was affected.
Removal of Unsalvageable Materials
While many materials can be dried and saved, some must be removed to protect your property and your health — usually because of contamination or how long they stayed wet. We'll explain the reasoning before removing anything.
Interior Rebuild and Repair
Once the interior is dry, we repair drywall, ceilings, flooring, and finishes affected by the storm water, so one company handles the job from start to finish. The choice is always yours.
Final Walkthrough
We walk through the completed work with you before closing out the job, so you can see exactly what was repaired.
Storm Repair and Insurance Documentation
Coverage varies by policy and is determined by your insurance carrier based on your policy and the cause of loss. We document the interior damage and repair scope thoroughly — photos, moisture readings, and an itemized estimate — and our Adjuster Liaison supplies that documentation to your carrier directly. We can't tell you in advance what will or won't be covered, but we can make sure your carrier has a complete record.
Storm claims often move alongside a separate claim or estimate for the exterior repair, since two different contractors are usually involved. We keep our documentation focused on the interior scope we actually completed, which makes it easier for an adjuster to sort out which invoice covers which part of the loss.
Commercial Storm Damage Repair
We also repair interior storm damage in offices, retail spaces, and other commercial buildings across Delaware and Maryland, coordinating scheduling around business hours and tenant safety. Our commercial storm damage restoration page covers business continuity and documentation for facility managers and property owners specifically.
Multi-tenant properties bring their own wrinkle: a roof or window failure on one floor can affect a tenant well below where the storm actually caused exterior damage. We document each affected space separately so property managers have clear records for every tenant involved, not one blended scope covering the whole building.
