Storm Damage Restoration Work in 77488
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
When siding is torn or cracked in a storm, rain gets into the wall. The inside is dried while the outside is covered until it can be repaired.
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
Strong wind pushes rain sideways through window frames, vents and siding joints. The pros dry the wall cavities and floors that this water reached.
Debris Removal After Storm
Storm debris inside a home is bagged and removed first. Floors and walls under it are then cleaned and checked for moisture.
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.
Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
Hail can crack shingles, skylights and vent caps, and the next rain finds those cracks. The pros dry the attic and ceilings where the water got in.
Signs of Storm Water Damage in Your 77488 Home
Wet Attic Insulation
Damp or matted insulation in the attic after a storm means rain is getting past the roof deck.
Musty Smell After Heavy Rain
A damp smell that was not there before the storm usually means wet insulation, carpet pad or wall cavities.
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.
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.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 77488
Step 1: Secure the Building
Broken windows and doors are boarded up and roof damage is tarped so no more rain gets in.
Step 2: Remove Debris
Mud, glass, branches and wet insulation that came inside are cleared so the floors and walls can be reached.
Step 3: Storm Damage Water Extraction
Water is removed from floors, carpet and under cabinets with pumps and extractors, starting where it is deepest.
Step 4: Dry and Monitor
Air movers and dehumidifiers run while the pros take daily readings, until walls and floors match dry areas.
What Causes Water Damage After Storms in 77488?

Wind-Driven Rain
Strong winds push rain sideways into window frames, vents and siding joints that keep out normal rain.
Flying Debris
Outdoor furniture, signs and branches carried by wind can break glass and doors and let rain into the home.
Fallen Trees and Limbs
Branches and trees that fall on a house can open the roof or break windows, letting rain straight in.

Storm Damage Restoration FAQs
What does storm damage restoration cost?
It depends on how many rooms got wet, whether board-up and tarping are needed and how long drying takes. The pros price the job after seeing the damage.
What is emergency board-up?
Plywood is fastened over broken windows and doors so rain and wind stay out and the home is secure while it dries.
Do I need to leave my home during storm cleanup?
Usually not, unless the damage makes the home unsafe or power is out. Wet areas are closed off while equipment runs.
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.
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.
