Storm Damage Restoration in Vermont
Local response from KPM Restoration Vermont, available around the clock for active property emergencies.
01 How We Help
After the storm passes, the water keeps moving.
Vermont storms can create roof openings, ice-dam leaks, basement flooding, fallen-tree damage, and extended power-related moisture problems. KPM helps stabilize the property, remove water, dry affected assemblies, and coordinate repairs.
What to do right now
Stay away from fallen power lines, damaged trees, unstable ceilings, and standing water near electrical sources. Call emergency services for immediate hazards.

03 In Rutland County
This region floods, and recently
In the July 2023 flood, Otter Creek at Center Rutland crested at 16.36 feet. The National Weather Service put that within a foot of the all-time record and second only to Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011. Rutland County was one of six Vermont counties named in the federal major disaster declaration that followed on July 14, 2023. The region took further flood impacts in December 2023 and again in July 2024.
Winter brings a different problem. Ice dams back water up under roof coverings and into the wall assembly, and the leak usually shows up somewhere other than where the water got in.
Poultney sits in the Slate Valley, and a lot of roofs here are genuine slate. Slate is a specialist trade and we do not repair it. We handle the interior water damage and work alongside whichever roofer handles the exterior source.
