Essential Storm Remediation Tips for Louisiana Homeowners
Living in Louisiana means being prepared for unpredictable weather, including severe storms and hurricanes. Storm damage can have a significant impact on homes, leading to structural issues, water damage, and the need for immediate repairs. At Property Maintenance Management of Louisiana (PMMLA), we specialize in storm remediation repairs and offer tips to help homeowners protect and restore their properties.
Here are essential storm remediation tips to keep your home safe and secure.
1. Assess Damage Safely and Quickly
After a storm passes, your first priority is to inspect your property for damage. However, safety comes first:
- Check for downed power lines, flooding, or unstable structures before approaching your home.
- Look for signs of roof damage, such as missing shingles or leaks.
- Inspect windows, doors, and outdoor areas for debris or cracks.
For major damage, it’s best to call a professional team like PMMLA for a full assessment.
2. Address Water Damage Immediately
Storms often lead to water intrusion, which can cause mold growth and structural damage if not addressed quickly. PMMLA offers water extraction and structural drying services to prevent further issues. Here’s what you can do:
- Remove standing water using pumps or wet vacuums.
- Dry out affected areas with fans and dehumidifiers.
- Contact professionals for thorough drying and remediation to avoid hidden damage.

Preparation is key to minimizing storm damage. Here’s how to protect your property before the next storm:
- Clear gutters and downspouts to prevent water buildup.
- Trim trees and remove loose branches that could damage your home during high winds.
- Secure outdoor furniture and other items to avoid them becoming projectiles.
- Schedule regular maintenance for your roof, siding, and drainage systems.
