The storm tore a section of shingles off the roof, and wind-driven rain poured into the attic for hours. Now the insulation is soaked, the bedroom ceiling has a brown stain spreading across it, and more rain is in the forecast. Storm water damage comes from above, and the first job is keeping more of it from getting in.
Free referral to independent, licensed and insured local pros. Zip codes served include 75141.

We are a referral line, not a contractor. Calls are routed to independent local pros around Hutchins who handle the full storm sequence, from covering the roof to repairing ceilings.
The first priority is keeping more rain out. Contractors tarp damaged roofs and board up broken windows or doors before interior drying begins.
Local pros will still be here after the storm. That matters for follow-up work and questions later.
Confirm license and insurance before signing anything, especially after a big storm.
Detailed photos and moisture logs give your adjuster what they need to process the storm claim.

Storm water enters from above and from the sides, so the work moves from the outside in: seal the building, then dry and repair the interior.

Damaged roof areas are covered with secured tarps to stop leaks until the roof can be repaired.
Openings from broken glass or tree damage are boarded up to protect the home.
Wet attic insulation comes out, the decking and framing are dried, and fresh insulation is installed.
Stained or sagging ceilings are opened, dried, and replaced. Wall damage from window leaks or wind-driven rain gets the same treatment.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry ceilings, walls, and floors below the leak until moisture readings confirm the structure is dry.
Tell dispatch whether rain is still getting in and where the damage is.
A local contractor calls with an arrival estimate. After regional storms, demand is high, and they will be honest about timing.
Expect an outside-in inspection and a written price before work starts.
Openings are sealed, wet areas dried, and damaged materials replaced.
Get the roof tarped before the next round of rain.

Luis F.Storm insurance claim

Climbing a wet, damaged roof is dangerous. A professional tarp is safer and more likely to hold. Many policies cover reasonable emergency tarping costs.
Damage from wind and rain entering through a storm-damaged roof or window is often covered. Rising floodwater from outside usually is not. Check your policy with your agent.
Verify local presence, licensing, and insurance, and avoid anyone pressuring you or asking for large deposits.
Rarely. Blown-in cellulose clumps and loses its insulating value, and fiberglass can trap moisture against the decking. Most soaked insulation should be replaced.
Within 24 to 48 hours. Mold can start growing on wet insulation, drywall, and wood framing quickly, and another storm can make it worse.
No. We connect you with independent local pros. Verify their license and insurance before work starts.
