Is insurance usually required for these types of services?

Depending on the unique circumstances surrounding both type and severity levels associated thereof service needs, insurance might not always be essential.

How can I tell if a weather related claim is covered under my insurance policy?

It depends on the specifics of your policy and what type of coverage you have. Generally, most policies cover damage that results from very specific types of events like hail or windstorms. If in doubt it’s best to contact your insurer directly for more information about potential coverage.

How often should I check my policy details?

You should review your insurance documentation each time a change is made or at least annually in order to ensure that it meets all applicable state laws and regulations. Additionally, if there are changes within your company’s operations or area of operation (such as acquiring new property) then those matters need immediate attention so that any necessary adjustments can be made quickly an efficiently without delay.

ServiceMaster of Mid NE provides 24/7 storm damage restoration services in Lexington, North Platte, and Greater Central Nebraska, including emergency board-up, debris removal, water damage restoration, and fire and smoke cleanup.

Storm Damage Cleanup & Restoration Services

Severe storms can leave behind more than visible exterior damage. High winds, heavy rain, hail, lightning, and flying debris can create multiple problems at once — from broken windows and roof leaks to flooded interiors, fallen tree limbs, structural damage, and even fire or smoke damage caused by lightning strikes or electrical issues.

At ServiceMaster of Mid NE, we help homeowners and businesses respond quickly after storm damage occurs. Our team is equipped to assess the damage, help protect the property from further loss, remove affected materials when necessary, and begin the cleanup and restoration process.

Emergency Storm Response

After a storm, one of the first priorities is protecting the structure from additional damage. Openings in the roof, siding, doors, or windows can allow more rain, wind, pests, and debris into the property.

Our storm response services may include:

Emergency board-up
Roof tarping coordination
Debris cleanup
Water extraction
Structural drying
Moisture inspections
Content protection
Fire and smoke cleanup
Odor control
Coordination with insurance claims

Whether the damage is minor or widespread, our goal is to stabilize the property and help you move forward.

Water Damage After Storms

Storm-related water damage is one of the most common issues we see in Central Nebraska. Heavy rain, poor drainage, damaged roofing, broken windows, and sump pump failures can allow water to enter basements, crawlspaces, walls, ceilings, and flooring systems.

Water may also be trapped beneath carpet, pad, LVP flooring, drywall, insulation, or other building materials. If not addressed quickly, this moisture can lead to odors, mold growth, structural damage, and costly repairs.

ServiceMaster of Mid NE uses professional drying equipment and moisture detection tools to locate affected areas and help dry the structure properly.

Board-Up and Property Protection

Broken windows, damaged doors, and storm openings leave your property vulnerable. Our board-up services help secure the building, reduce additional weather exposure, and protect the property until permanent repairs can be completed.

Board-up may be needed after:

High winds
Hail damage
Fallen tree limbs
Broken windows
Damaged entry doors
Vehicle impact during storms
Fire department access points
Lightning or fire-related openings

Fire and Smoke Damage from Storms

Storms can also create fire damage. Lightning strikes, downed power lines, electrical surges, and high winds can all contribute to fire or smoke damage in homes and businesses.

When this happens, cleanup may involve more than removing burned materials. Smoke residue, soot, odor, water from firefighting efforts, and damaged contents all need to be addressed carefully. Our team can help with fire and smoke cleanup as part of the overall storm restoration process.

Debris Cleanup After Severe Weather

Storm debris can create safety hazards and slow down the recovery process. Depending on the situation, debris may include tree limbs, wet insulation, damaged drywall, flooring, ceiling materials, roofing debris, broken glass, and affected contents.

Our team can help remove damaged materials, clean affected areas, and prepare the property for repairs.
