Storms in North Alabama can hit hard—and fast. After the skies clear, many homeowners are left wondering what to do next. At Plan B Construction, we’ve helped families all across Huntsville recover from storm damage quickly and safely. But before you pick up the phone, there are a few things you should check yourself.
✅ 1. Roof & Shingles
Look for missing, curled, or broken shingles. You may also notice flashing pulled loose around chimneys or vents. Use binoculars—don’t climb up unless it’s safe.
✅ 2. Gutters & Downspouts Check
for sagging gutters, loose attachments, or clogged areas where water can back up and damage fascia or siding.
✅ 3. Windows & Doors
Inspect for cracks in glass, broken seals, or water leaks inside the frame. Even small gaps can lead to major moisture issues later.
✅ 4. Siding & Exterior Walls
Loose siding panels, dents, or missing materials? Look closely—especially if you had high winds or hail.
✅ 5. Attic & Ceilings (Interior Signs)
Look inside for damp insulation, stained ceilings, or drywall bubbling. These can be subtle signs of leaks caused by storm damage.
