How soon after a storm should I call a restoration company?

As soon as it's safe to do so, ideally the same day. Storm damage rarely stays static; a small roof leak after one storm can become a much larger interior problem after the next rain. Calling early also gives you time-stamped documentation that supports an insurance claim.

Do you handle both the roof damage and the water that got inside?

Yes. We assess and document roof and window-seal damage as part of every storm call, extract and dry any water that made it inside, and coordinate the repair plan for both, so you're working with one team instead of separately hiring a roofer and a water damage company.

Will insurance cover storm damage restoration in Austin?

Most homeowners' policies include coverage for sudden storm events like hail and wind, though the specifics depend on your policy and the extent of any pre-existing wear. We document every finding with photos and notes so your adjuster has clear evidence of what the storm caused.

What should I do while I wait for your team to arrive?

If it's safe, move valuables away from any active leak and avoid walking under a ceiling that's visibly sagging or wet from above. Don't attempt roof repairs yourself, especially in wet or windy conditions. Our full checklist covers the complete list of what to do and avoid.

Do you serve areas outside Austin after regional storms?

Yes, we cover Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Leander, Hutto, Kyle, and Brushy Creek in addition to Austin, since a single storm system typically affects the whole region at once.

Storm Damage Restoration in Austin, TX

Storm damage restoration covers the repair work needed after hail, high wind, tornadoes, or hurricane-driven rain damage a home or business, as distinct from water damage caused by an internal source like a burst pipe or appliance leak. Central Texas storms can knock loose roof shingles, drive rain sideways through window seals, and dump enough water in an hour to flood a garage or first floor.

Water Damage Repair Tech provides 24/7 storm damage restoration throughout Austin, TX and surrounding communities, with licensed and bonded technicians ready to respond as soon as the weather clears enough to work safely. If a recent storm left you with a leaking roof or standing water, call (512) 998-6617 now.

What Counts as Storm Damage

Storm damage restoration typically covers four situations: hail impact, which can crack shingles, dent gutters, and open small gaps that let water in for weeks before anyone notices; wind-driven rain, which gets forced sideways through window and door seals that hold up fine in normal weather; roof leaks caused by storm-loosened shingles or flashing, which often show up as a ceiling stain days after the storm has passed; and direct tornado or hurricane-remnant impact, which can involve structural damage on top of water intrusion. If you're not sure whether what you're dealing with counts as storm damage or a separate plumbing issue, that's exactly the kind of question our team answers for free during an on-site assessment, and the distinction matters for your insurance claim.

Our Storm Damage Response Process

Storm damage calls move fast because weather-related damage tends to get worse with the next rain, not better on its own.

Emergency Tarping and Temporary Protection. If your roof has an active leak, our first move is stopping more water from getting in — tarping exposed areas and boarding up broken windows so the property is protected before the restoration work even starts.

Damage Assessment. We inspect the roof, attic, window seals, and any interior water intrusion to map exactly where the storm compromised the structure, and photograph everything for your insurance documentation.

Water Extraction and Structural Drying. If rain got inside, we extract standing water and dry the affected structure using the same commercial-grade equipment and moisture-tracking process we use on every water damage call — this is a full restoration, not a generic patch job.

Repair Coordination. Once drying is complete, we walk you through what needs repair, from drywall and flooring to coordinating roofing repairs, so you have one clear plan instead of juggling multiple contractors after an already stressful storm.

Every step is handled by the same licensed, bonded team, so nothing gets lost between who fixed the roof and who dried the inside.

Storm Damage Clean-Up Checklist Preview

Not every storm requires an emergency call, and it helps to know what to check yourself first. Our full Storm & Flood Damage Cleanup Checklist walks through documenting damage safely, what to photograph before you touch anything, and when a leak is serious enough to call immediately versus something you can monitor for a day. A few quick highlights: photograph damage before cleanup, avoid walking on a wet ceiling below an active leak, and shut off power to any area with standing water near outlets. Read the full checklist for the complete list.
