Storm Damage Restoration in 78154, TX
After a storm in Schertz, the damage you see outside, like missing shingles or a broken window, is often smaller than the water damage inside.
Storm damage restoration is available in Schertz and nearby Universal City, Cibolo and Selma. The pros handle board-up, tarping, water extraction and drying after storms of any size.
What Storm Damage Restoration Covers in 78154
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
Water that gets behind siding or stucco can soak insulation and the back of the drywall. The pros find it with meters and dry the cavity.
Storm Damage Water Extraction
Rainwater that came in through a roof, window or door is removed from floors, carpet and the space under cabinets before it soaks into walls.
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
Wind-driven rain soaks the windward side of a house first. Drying focuses on those walls, the window sills and the carpet along them.
Debris Removal After Storm
Mud, broken glass, wet insulation and branches that came into the house are cleared so extraction and drying can reach the floors and walls.
Emergency Roof Tarping
When wind or a fallen branch opens the roof, a tarp is fastened over the damage as a stopgap until a roofer makes the repair.
Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration
Bubbling Paint on Exterior Walls
Paint that bubbles on the inside of an exterior wall after a storm points to water that got behind the siding.
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.
Wet Carpet Near Windows and Doors
Damp carpet or swollen flooring along exterior walls shows that rain was driven in around frames or under doors.
Missing or Lifted Shingles
Shingles on the lawn or lifted at the edges after a storm mean the roof deck is exposed to the next rain.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 78154
Step 1: Safety Check
Power to wet areas is shut off and damaged ceilings or broken glass are marked so no one gets hurt during the work.
Step 2: Extract the Water
Standing water is pulled from floors and carpet, and water above ceilings is drained so it does not keep dripping.
Step 3: Wind-Driven Rain Drying
Exterior walls that took wind-driven rain are checked with meters and opened where needed so the cavities can dry.
Step 4: Final Readings
When walls, floors and framing read dry, equipment is removed and repairs to the roof, windows and drywall can go ahead.
Where Storm Water Gets Into a House
Flying Debris
Outdoor furniture, signs and branches carried by wind can break glass and doors and let rain into the home.
Hail Impact
Hail cracks shingles, skylights and vent caps, opening small gaps that leak during the storms that follow.
Fallen Trees and Limbs
Branches and trees that fall on a house can open the roof or break windows, letting rain straight in.
Flash Flooding
Sudden heavy rain can send water across yards and under doors faster than drains and gutters can carry it away.
Storm Damage Restoration for Every Property in 78154, TX
Residential Storm Damage Restoration
For homeowners, the first job after a storm is stopping more water from getting in. Board-up and tarping come first, then extraction and drying.
Commercial Storm Damage Restoration
Property managers get moisture readings and photos for each affected unit or suite, which helps when several tenants and insurers are involved.
What You Can Do Safely After a Storm in 78154
Do not climb onto a wet or damaged roof. Tarping should be done by someone with the right gear and anchors once the storm has passed.
Storm Damage Restoration Cost in 78154, TX
Repairs to the roof, windows and siding are separate from water removal. The pros price the board-up, extraction and drying inside the house.
Water Source
Rain coming through a roof is cleaner than floodwater from outside. Dirty water means more cleaning and removal of porous materials.
Board-Up and Tarping
Covering broken windows, doors and roof openings adds materials and labor before drying can start.
Debris Inside
Mud, glass, branches and wet insulation inside the house take time to clear and dispose of.
Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage Restoration?
Insurance may pay for board-up, tarping, extraction and drying after a covered storm. Your insurer decides what is covered, so check your policy and deductible.
Why Storm Damage Needs Professional Drying in 78154
Records for Your Claim
Photos, readings and a list of removed materials give your adjuster a clear picture of the storm damage inside the house.
Drying to Measured Targets
Drying ends when readings show walls and floors are dry, not when the surface looks dry.
Hidden Water Found

Storm Damage Cleanup Questions Answered
What should I do first after a storm damages my home?
Stay away from downed power lines, take photos, move belongings away from water and call (210) 761-3044 for board-up, tarping and drying.
Is storm water dirty?
Rain coming through a roof is usually clean at first. Water that came in from outside across the ground is treated as dirty and needs cleaning as well as drying.
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.
How do the pros find water inside walls after a storm?
They use moisture meters and thermal cameras along exterior walls, under windows and in the attic to find water that is not visible.
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.
