Who handles storm damage and tree damage repair in Fairfax, McLean, Vienna, and Potomac?

After a storm, the damage to a Fairfax, McLean, or Vienna home usually involves two separate jobs. One is getting the tree, limbs, or debris off the structure, which is the work of a licensed tree service. The other is protecting and repairing the building: emergency board-up and tarping, extracting water that came through a roof or window opening, drying the structure, and rebuilding what was damaged.

Restoration Doctor handles the second job. We dispatch 24/7 across Northern Virginia, so a storm call in Fairfax, McLean, or Vienna goes to the same emergency line, 1-888-29-FLOOD. We are an IICRC Certified Firm, and we work with licensed plumbers when a loss involves plumbing, although we do not hold a plumbing license ourselves.

We also serve Potomac and the surrounding Montgomery County communities. The approach is the same on either side of the river: secure the opening first, remove water before it spreads into the structure, dry to documented readings, and then rebuild.

When a tree or large limb hits a house, the first priority is safety. Stay out of any room with a sagging ceiling or exposed wiring, and call the utility if lines are down. A tree service should remove the tree, and in many cases the tree cannot come off until the opening is assessed, because the debris may be holding part of the roof in place.

Once the tree is cleared or while it is being cleared, we can tarp or board up the opening, extract any water, dry the affected materials, and handle the reconstruction. Because roof and wall repairs after a storm are tied to the water damage inside, having one company manage the whole sequence reduces handoffs.

Whether storm or tree damage is covered depends on your policy, its deductible, and your insurer's decision, so check your own policy and ask your insurer before work begins. We document the damage with photos and moisture readings and share those records with your insurer at your request. Take photos of the damage before anything is moved, and keep receipts for emergency repairs.
