Help With Storm Damage in 76180
Storm Damage Restoration covers the inside of a home or business after a storm: removing water and debris, drying the structure and securing openings.

What Storm Damage Restoration Covers in 76180
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.
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
Wind-driven rain soaks the windward side of a house first. Drying focuses on those walls, the window sills and the carpet along them.
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.
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.
When Storm Damage Needs Professional Cleanup
Musty Smell After Heavy Rain
A damp smell that was not there before the storm usually means wet insulation, carpet pad or wall cavities.
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.
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.
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.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 76180
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.
Where Storm Water Gets Into a House
Flash Flooding
Sudden heavy rain can send water across yards and under doors faster than drains and gutters can carry it away.
Power Outages
Storms that knock out power stop pumps and dehumidifiers, so water that gets in stays longer than it otherwise would.
Wind-Driven Rain
Strong winds push rain sideways into window frames, vents and siding joints that keep out normal rain.
Fallen Trees and Limbs
Branches and trees that fall on a house can open the roof or break windows, letting rain straight in.
Home and Business Storm Damage Cleanup in 76180
Residential Storm Damage Restoration
In homes, storm damage usually means wet ceilings, carpet near windows and water inside exterior walls. The pros cover openings, remove the water and dry each room, with photos for your claim.

For businesses, the pros board up storefronts, extract water from floors and dry the space in sections, so dry areas can be used again first.
DIY Limits After Storm Damage in 76180
Stay clear of downed power lines and do not enter rooms with standing water near outlets. Turn off power to wet areas only if you can reach the panel safely.
Pricing Storm Damage Cleanup in 76180
Repairs to the roof, windows and siding are separate from water removal. The pros price the board-up, extraction and drying inside the house.
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.
Water Source
Rain coming through a roof is cleaner than floodwater from outside. Dirty water means more cleaning and removal of porous materials.
Drying Time
Each extra day of air movers, dehumidifiers and moisture checks adds to the cost, especially in wet attics and wall cavities.
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 76180
Dirty Water Handled Safely

Hidden Water Found

Storm Damage Cleanup Questions Answered
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.
How long does it take to dry a home after storm damage?
Drying often takes several days, depending on how many rooms got wet and how much insulation and drywall came out. Moisture readings decide when it is done.
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.
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.
