Storm Damage Restoration Work in 76116
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.
Emergency Roof Tarping
Tarping keeps the attic and ceilings from getting wet again during the storms that often follow the first one.
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.
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.
Emergency Board Up Services
Broken windows and doors are covered with plywood so rain and wind stop coming in and the home is secure while drying runs.
Signs of Storm Water Damage in Your 76116 Home
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.
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.
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.
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 76116
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
Roof Damage From Wind
High winds lift and tear shingles and flashing, exposing the roof deck to rain that soaks into the attic.
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.
Overflowing Gutters
Heavy rain can overflow clogged or undersized gutters, sending water down walls and toward the foundation.

DIY Limits After Storm Damage in 76116
Take photos and video of damage inside and outside, including broken windows and the roof, before anything is moved. Your insurer will ask for them.
What Storm Damage Restoration Costs in 76116
Storm water from outside can carry dirt, which means more cleaning and sometimes more material removal than a clean water leak.
Debris Inside
Mud, glass, branches and wet insulation inside the house take time to clear and dispose of.
Board-Up and Tarping
Covering broken windows, doors and roof openings adds materials and labor before drying can start.
Water Source
Rain coming through a roof is cleaner than floodwater from outside. Dirty water means more cleaning and removal of porous materials.
Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage Restoration?
Some policies have a separate wind or hail deductible. Read yours or ask your agent so you know what to expect before work begins.
Why Professional Storm Damage Restoration Pays Off
Dirty Water Handled Safely
Water that came in from outside is treated as dirty, with soaked porous materials removed and surfaces cleaned.
Notes for Other Trades
Roof, window and siding damage is noted with photos, so roofers and contractors know where water got in.
Drying to Measured Targets
Drying ends when readings show walls and floors are dry, not when the surface looks dry.

Your Storm Damage Restoration Questions Answered
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.
Should debris be removed before the adjuster visits?
Take photos and video first. Your insurer can tell you what to keep for the adjuster, but wet debris inside the house may need to be removed to prevent more damage.
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.
Can hail damage cause leaks later?
Yes. Hail can crack shingles, skylights and vent caps, and those cracks may not leak until the next heavy rain.
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.
