What's included with hurricane & storm hvac damage in Covington
Every hurricane & storm hvac damage job is scoped and documented up front — here's what you get when we roll up to your Northshore home or business.
- Post-storm inspection of the condenser, coil, ductwork, and electrical components
- Assessment of flood, surge, and wind damage against safe-to-run standards
- Photo and written documentation formatted to support your insurance claim
- Testing for water intrusion in the air handler, ducts, and control boards
- Repair or replacement recommendations for units compromised by flooding or debris
- Elevated re-mounting of outdoor equipment to guard against the next storm surge
- Verification that refrigerant, electrical, and safety systems are sound before restart
Do this before you restart anything
Keep outdoor equipment off if it was submerged, struck, tilted, or left with loose wiring. Photograph the condenser, pad, coil, disconnect, thermostat, and nearby debris from a safe distance, and keep those photos with any receipts and temporary-protection invoices.
Don't wash, move, or discard visibly damaged components before they're documented — that record matters for your insurance claim. Powering up a submerged unit can cause further damage and create a shock or fire hazard.
Insurance documentation and the adjuster process
We inspect electrical components, corrosion, the refrigerant circuit, drainage, and equipment isolation, and we provide a written report that separates storm-related findings from pre-existing wear where possible. That distinction is exactly what adjusters look for.
Coverage depends on your policy, the cause of loss, deductible, exclusions, and the adjuster's decision — we don't promise what your insurer will pay. What we do is give you the documentation, photos, and line-item estimate to make your claim as strong as possible, and we coordinate scope with your adjuster before permanent work.
Elevation and flood-smart replacement
If flooding is a recurring risk at your property, we can elevate the condenser on a taller pad or platform and relocate vulnerable components during replacement. It's a small change that can spare you the same loss in the next storm.
Our hurricane & storm hvac damage process
Test first, document everything, and get your sign-off before the work happens — no guesswork, no surprises.
- 1
Inspect after the storm
We assess the outdoor unit, ductwork, and electrical for wind, water, and surge damage before anything is switched on.
- 2
Document for insurance
We photograph and write up the damage in a format that supports your claim with your adjuster.
- 3
Check for water intrusion
We test the air handler, control boards, and ducts, since flooded components can fail or become unsafe even if they still power on.
- 4
Repair or replace
We advise what's salvageable and what a flooded unit requires, with benchmark ranges so you can plan.
- 5
Elevate and protect
Where it makes sense we re-mount outdoor equipment higher to reduce exposure to the next Bogue Falaya flood or surge.
