Frequently Asked Questions — Storm Damage in Gahanna

Gahanna-Specific Questions

Big Walnut Creek flooded my Gahanna home during the same storm that blew off my shingles — do I need two separate claims? +
Yes, almost always. Wind-damaged shingles and resulting interior water damage go on your standard Ohio homeowners policy. But Big Walnut Creek rising into your home is surface flooding excluded from homeowners and covered only by NFIP or private flood insurance. We document each water entry point separately — roof intrusion versus ground-level creek water — and route damage to the correct policy so neither carrier denies based on the other's coverage.
My Gahanna split-level took roof damage upstairs and basement flooding downstairs from the same storm — how is the deductible handled? +
If both damages tie to a single covered peril on one policy, you pay one deductible. If wind/hail is homeowners and creek flooding is NFIP, you pay both deductibles — homeowners (often 1 to 2 percent of dwelling) plus NFIP (typically $1,000 to $5,000). Some Ohio carriers offer a separate wind/hail deductible that's higher than the all-perils deductible. We confirm deductible structure before quoting your out-of-pocket so there are no surprises.
Trees along Big Walnut Creek fell during a storm and blocked my Gahanna driveway — is driveway-clearing covered? +
Driveway debris removal is typically covered when a covered tree-fall blocks access to your home or damages the driveway surface. Ohio policies generally include access-restoration costs as part of debris removal, subject to per-tree and per-event sublimits ($500 to $1,500 is common). For Gahanna's creek-corridor homes that lose access entirely, we document urgency and any emergency-services impediment, which sometimes unlocks additional removal coverage beyond the standard sublimit.

General Storm Damage Questions

How quickly can you respond to storm damage in Gahanna? +
We deploy crews within 60 minutes of your call. During major storm events, we pre-position teams across the Columbus metro to ensure rapid response to Gahanna and surrounding areas.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage? +
Yes, storm damage from wind, hail, fallen trees, and lightning is typically covered by standard homeowner's policies. We document everything thoroughly and work directly with your insurer.
What should I do immediately after storm damage? +
Ensure everyone is safe first. If the roof is compromised, cover furnishings and move valuables. Do not go on the roof yourself. Document damage with photos and call us for emergency board-up and tarping.
Can you handle both emergency stabilization and full repair? +
Yes, we manage the entire process from initial emergency board-up through complete reconstruction, so you have a single point of contact throughout the restoration.
How long does storm damage restoration take? +
Emergency stabilization happens same-day. Full restoration timelines depend on severity — minor repairs may take 1–2 weeks, while major reconstruction can take 2–4 months.
