Wind & Storm Damage Restoration Service in Manitoba
Severe wind, hail and thunderstorms can do significant damage to the exterior of your property, including broken windows, missing shingles and damage caused by fallen trees. After a storm, your home may be at risk for further damage. Priority’s technical experts will stabilize and minimize further damage to your property and provide the appropriate repair recommendations to ensure your property is brought back to normal.
If your home or business has suffered wind or hail damage, it is essential to have a professional complete a thorough inspection for possible internal & external damages
In many cases damages may not be visible. Our Project Managers are trained to inspect your property for storm and wind damages that may cause:
- Rooftop damages and/or missing shingles
- Fallen gutters or water build-up and debris
- Downspout damages or separation from the home
- Structural integrity of the chimney
- Interior water damages, cracks, or peels in the wall or ceiling
- Window cracks, fog between glass panes and moisture build-up
- Interior ceiling discoloration, drips and water spots
- Hail damage to exterior of property
Once an inspection of your home or business is complete, we can begin the repair process, which may include:
- Emergency Board-up
Heavy rains and winds can cause broken windows and damaged roofs, which can let in rain and snow. This can lead to more damage to your property and its contents. It may be necessary to board up windows and doors to prevent further damage and deter thefts as well. - Structural Integrity
Our expert structural engineers will evaluate sections of your property that are unstable and will install the proper components and leaning structures that will provide temporary stabilization. - Roof Repairs
If your roof is damaged, our roofers will provide temporary roof repairs to eliminate further damage. - Water Extraction
Areas of the property that have been damaged by water need to be remediated quickly to prevent further damage and possible mould growth. - Interior & Exterior Reconstruction Services
The final phase in storm restoration is rebuilding the interior and exterior of your home or business property to its pre-loss condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do first if I have water or fire damage in my home or business?
The first step is to call your insurance provider’s after-hours claims service line (if available) to open a claim. If you can’t reach your insurer, you can call your broker for assistance.
No matter what, you can always call Priority Restoration 24/7 at 204-786-3344 to begin emergency services immediately — regardless of claim status. Acting quickly helps reduce damage and control costs.
If you prefer, we also offer private restoration options. A Project Manager will review scope, costs, and timelines with you before work begins so you can make an informed decision.
What can I expect during the emergency mitigation repairs?
During the emergency mitigation phase, our restoration professionals focus on stabilizing your property and
preventing further damage. Depending on the type and extent of the loss, this may include:
- Extracting water from affected areas
- Removing damaged drywall, flooring, insulation, or other materials
- Performing asbestos testing when required by law
- Installing specialized drying and dehumidification equipment
In some cases, contents from the affected area may need to be removed for protection. Certain items may be transported to our secure facility for professional cleaning, storage, or processing.
Your Project Manager will explain what is required in your specific situation and keep you updated throughout the process. Every claim is unique, and our response is tailored to the needs of your property to ensure a safe and effective restoration.
Who determines if I have coverage for my insurance claim?
Your insurance provider and adjuster are the only ones who decide what is or isn’t covered under your policy. Priority Restoration does not make coverage decisions.
While your claim is under review, we can perform essential mitigation services such as water extraction, drying, or securing your property to prevent further damage. Please note that if your claim is not approved, you are responsible for the cost of this work. To help keep expenses low, we perform only the minimum necessary mitigation until coverage is confirmed.
If you choose to delay work until coverage is confirmed, you are still responsible for taking reasonable steps to prevent additional damage to your home or business, as required under most insurance policies.
What is a cause of loss?
A cause of loss is the specific event that damages your home or business — for example, a ruptured hot water tank, hail damage to a roof, or a fire caused by a faulty appliance.
It’s important to understand that while insurance policies usually do not cover repair or replacement of the cause itself, the damage that results from the cause may be covered under your policy. In some cases, the cause of loss must be retained for further investigation. Do not dispose of it until your adjuster or restoration contractor confirms it is safe to do so.
At Priority Restoration, we inspect your property, help identify the cause of loss, and provide a detailed damage assessment and report to your insurance adjuster.
Why is your staff taking photos and videos of my property?
Your insurance company requires full documentation of the damages, which includes photos and videos. This information is included in our reports to help your adjuster determine the cause of loss and review what may or may not be covered under your policy.
In some cases, we also need to document areas that appear unaffected. This is because building materials, finishes, or systems often run continuously throughout a property. Having a complete record helps your adjuster understand the full scope of the situation and make an informed coverage decision.
Our role is to ensure your insurance provider has accurate and detailed documentation so that claims decisions can be made fairly and repairs can proceed without unnecessary delays.
How quickly will you respond if I contact you during my claim?
During your claim, your Project Manager and Project Coordinator are committed to clear and timely communication. We aim to return your calls and emails within one business day to keep you updated and ensure your questions are answered promptly.
What can I do if I need to escalate an issue or concern?
At Priority Restoration, our goal is to provide every client with a 10/10 customer experience. If you feel your concerns are not being addressed, you can escalate the issue directly to our Customer Service Manager by emailing customerservice@priorityrestoration.com or calling 204-786-3344.
Your feedback helps us improve, and we are committed to resolving issues quickly and fairly.
