Storm Damage Restoration in Westchase FL
Rhino Restoration secures your property, removes the water and debris, and restores what the storm damaged. IICRC certified technicians serving Westchase and Tampa Bay 24/7, before, during, and after hurricane season.
Emergency Storm Damage Restoration in Westchase FL
Tampa Bay storms move fast and hit hard. High winds tear off shingles, driving rain finds its way through roofs and windows, and fallen limbs can open a home to the elements in minutes. Once water gets inside, damage keeps spreading long after the sky clears. Rhino Restoration responds around the clock in Westchase FL to secure your property, stop further intrusion, and begin recovery right away.
Our IICRC certified technicians handle the full storm recovery. We start with emergency board-up and roof tarping to protect the structure, then extract standing water and remove debris. From there we dry the property completely and repair the damage so your home is safe and sound again. Because storm damage almost always means water intrusion, we back the process with structural drying and dehumidification to keep secondary damage and mold from setting in.
Common storm damage in Westchase homes
After a storm, look for missing or lifted shingles, water stains spreading across ceilings, leaks around windows and skylights, fallen tree limbs on the roof or structure, broken or cracked windows, damaged fascia and soffit, and standing water in the yard or lower levels. Some damage is obvious, but wind-driven rain and small roof breaches can hide moisture inside walls and attics, so a professional inspection is the safest way to catch everything early.
Storm Damage? Do This First
Your safety comes first, and quick action limits how far the damage spreads. Once it is safe to move around:
✓ Do This
- Make sure everyone is safe before assessing any damage
- Watch for downed power lines and report them to your utility
- Take photos and video of all damage for your insurance claim
- Cover broken windows or roof openings if you can do it safely
- Move valuables away from leaks and wet areas
✕ Avoid This
- Do not enter rooms with sagging ceilings or standing water
- Do not go near downed lines or use power in flooded areas
- Do not climb onto a storm-damaged roof yourself
- Do not throw out damaged items before documenting them
- Do not wait to call; open roofs and leaks worsen fast in rain

Placeholder Review HomeownerFrequently Asked Questions
What should I do first after storm damage in Westchase?
Make sure everyone is safe, stay clear of downed power lines and unstable areas, and document all damage with photos and video. Then call Rhino Restoration so we can secure the property with board-up or tarping before more water gets in.
Is storm damage covered by insurance?
Most homeowners policies cover sudden storm damage such as wind, fallen trees, and rain intrusion, though flood damage often requires separate coverage. We document everything thoroughly and work with your adjuster to support your claim.
How fast can you respond after a storm?
We offer 24/7 emergency response and aim to reach your Westchase property as quickly as conditions allow. Emergency board-up and tarping are often the first step to prevent further damage.
Can storm damage lead to mold?
Yes. Water intrusion from a storm can start mold growth within 24 to 48 hours, which is why fast drying matters. We dry the structure completely and can apply a preventative treatment to reduce the risk.
Do you handle both cleanup and repairs?
Yes. We manage the full process, from emergency board-up and water extraction to drying, debris removal, and structural repairs, so you have one trusted team through the entire recovery.
