Storm Damage Cleanup and Drying in 76549

Storm Damage Restoration Services in 76549
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
Plywood is fastened over broken glass and damaged doors right after the storm. It stays until the window or door can be replaced.
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.
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.
Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
Water that gets in through hail damage is removed from the attic, wet insulation is pulled and the ceiling below is dried.
Signs of Storm Water Damage in Your 76549 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.
Ceiling Stains After a Storm
New brown rings or damp spots on the ceiling after high wind or hail mean water is getting through the roof.
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.
Musty Smell After Heavy Rain
A damp smell that was not there before the storm usually means wet insulation, carpet pad or wall cavities.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 76549
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.
How Storms Let Water Into 76549 Homes
Flying Debris
Outdoor furniture, signs and branches carried by wind can break glass and doors and let rain into the home.
Roof Damage From Wind
High winds lift and tear shingles and flashing, exposing the roof deck to rain that soaks into the attic.
Flash Flooding
Sudden heavy rain can send water across yards and under doors faster than drains and gutters can carry it away.
Hail Impact
Hail cracks shingles, skylights and vent caps, opening small gaps that leak during the storms that follow.

Storm Damage Cleanup Questions Answered
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 long does it take to dry a home after storm damage?
Most homes dry in three to five days, depending on how many rooms got wet and how much insulation and drywall came out. Readings decide when it is done.
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.
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.
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.
