Help With Storm Damage in 78022
Wind, hail and heavy rain each damage a home differently. Wind drives rain through gaps, hail cracks roofs and skylights, and heavy rain overwhelms gutters.
Storm Damage Restoration Services in 78022
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
When high winds drive rain into a home, water often runs down inside exterior walls. Meters find it, and drywall is opened where needed to dry it.
Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
After a hailstorm, leaks may not show for days. Ceiling stains and wet insulation are checked and dried, and the damaged spots are noted for the roofer.
Debris Removal After Storm
Wet debris left in a room keeps the space damp. Clearing it is the first step before the pros extract water and set up drying.
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
Storm water inside exterior walls often shows up as bubbling paint or a damp baseboard. Drying the cavity keeps the framing from rotting.
Emergency Board Up Services
Board-up closes openings left by flying debris or a fallen limb, which keeps the next round of rain out of rooms already being dried.
How to Tell a Storm Let Water Inside
Musty Smell After Heavy Rain
A damp smell that was not there before the storm usually means wet insulation, carpet pad or wall cavities.
Broken Windows or Doors
Any broken glass or damaged door lets rain and wind in. The opening needs to be covered before drying can work.
Mud or Debris Indoors
Mud, leaves or glass inside the house mean storm water came in from outside and floors need cleaning as well as drying.
Dripping From Light Fixtures
Water coming through a light or fan means it has pooled above the ceiling. Turn off that circuit and keep people clear.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 78022
Step 1: Damage Walkthrough
The pros check every room, the attic and the outside of the house to see where water got in and how far it spread.
Step 2: Cover the Openings
Tarps and plywood go over damaged roof sections, windows and doors before extraction starts.
Step 3: Remove Soaked Materials
Carpet pad, insulation and drywall that are too wet to dry in place are cut out and bagged.
Step 4: Document for the Claim
Photos, moisture readings and a list of removed materials are put together for you to share with your insurer.
Where Storm Water Gets Into a House
Fallen Trees and Limbs
Branches and trees that fall on a house can open the roof or break windows, letting rain straight in.
Hail Impact
Hail cracks shingles, skylights and vent caps, opening small gaps that leak during the storms that follow.
Wind-Driven Rain
Strong winds push rain sideways into window frames, vents and siding joints that keep out normal rain.
Power Outages
Storms that knock out power stop pumps and dehumidifiers, so water that gets in stays longer than it otherwise would.

What You Can Do Safely After a Storm in 78022
Keep receipts for tarps, plywood and any supplies you buy after the storm. Many policies cover reasonable steps taken to prevent more damage to the home.
Storm Damage Restoration Cost in 78022, TX
Storm water from outside can carry dirt, which means more cleaning and sometimes more material removal than a clean water leak.
Board-Up and Tarping
Covering broken windows, doors and roof openings adds materials and labor before drying can start.
Drying Time
Each extra day of air movers, dehumidifiers and moisture checks adds to the cost, especially in wet attics and wall cavities.
Timing of the Work
Work during or right after a storm, at night or on a weekend, can carry a higher rate than scheduled work.
Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage Restoration?

Questions About Storm Damage Restoration
Do the pros repair roofs and windows?
They cover them with tarps and plywood so the inside can dry. Permanent roof, window and siding repairs are done by those trades.
What records will I get for my insurance claim?
Photos of the damage, daily moisture readings and a list of removed materials, which you can share with your adjuster.
How soon should storm cleanup start?
As soon as it is safe. Wet drywall, carpet and insulation can start to grow mold in 24 to 48 hours, and open roofs and windows let in more rain.
Does insurance cover storm damage?
Many policies cover damage from wind and hail. Flooding from rising water outside usually needs a separate flood policy. Your insurer decides coverage.
Can wet carpet be saved after a storm?
Often, if it got wet from rain through a roof or window and is extracted and dried quickly. Carpet soaked by floodwater from outside is usually replaced.
