The September 26–28, 2026 nor’easter affected the New Jersey shore. If you own a home in North Wildwood, inspect it when safe and document any issues without assuming every property sustained damage.
Inspect safely
Photograph roof edges, siding, windows, stairs, and outdoor fixtures from the ground. Avoid downed wires and standing water. Use a qualified contractor for elevated inspections and keep any pre-storm photographs.
Review the cause of loss
Wind, wind-driven rain, and rising floodwater can be treated differently by homeowners and separate flood policies. Check your declarations, deductible, limits, exclusions, and any seasonal occupancy conditions. The storm name alone does not determine coverage.
Prepare a claim record
- Take dated photos before cleanup and list damaged items.
- Make safe temporary repairs and retain receipts.
- Report a possible loss promptly and ask about deadlines.
- Get written estimates before major permanent repairs.
