Wind, rain, falling debris, damaged awnings and storm-related water entry assessed and repaired by caravan and motorhome specialists in Sandgate.
Storm damage can affect far more than the first broken fitting you notice. AllBrand assesses the visible damage, checks related areas and documents the proposed repair scope for your insurer.
Your policy may require reasonable steps to reduce further loss, but safety comes first. Do not climb onto a wet roof or attempt to remove heavy branches, damaged solar panels or unstable awnings yourself.
Ask the insurer what temporary protection is approved. Keep receipts and take photographs before and after emergency work. Temporary measures should protect the vehicle without hiding evidence or creating additional damage.
If water is entering, move loose belongings away from the affected area where safe and document the moisture, staining and damaged contents.
Torn fabric, bent arms, damaged mounting points and awning components pulled away from the caravan wall.
Impact to roofs, walls, windows, hatches, solar panels, air conditioners and exterior fittings.
Dented or torn cladding, damaged roof sheets, cracked fibreglass, opened joins and displaced edge mouldings.
Water entering through damaged seals, roof fittings, windows, doors, hatches, joins and impact points.
Broken glazing, distorted frames, failed seals, damaged locks and openings that no longer align correctly.
Storm-related damage affecting solar, batteries, wiring, lights, antennas, air conditioning and other equipment.
Tell your insurer when and where the storm occurred, describe the damage and obtain a claim number.
Provide your claim number, vehicle details, location and clear photographs of exterior and internal damage.
We inspect and document the affected areas and prepare the proposed repair scope for the insurer or assessor.
After insurer authorisation, our team completes the approved repairs and relevant operational, sealing and final checks.
A cracked vent, loosened seal or damaged roof edge can allow water into the caravan during later rain. Moisture may travel behind ceilings and walls before appearing as a stain, swollen panel or soft section.
Signs of possible hidden water damage include:
Report new symptoms to your insurer and repairer promptly.
The inspection method depends on the event, construction and evidence found.
Caravan technicians, fibreglass specialists, auto electricians, mechanical technicians and fabricators can collaborate where a storm affects several systems.
