Storm damage cleanup in Lewisville: first moves
Stay out of rooms with sagging ceilings. A drywall ceiling holding water can drop without warning. Poke a small hole at the lowest point with a screwdriver and let it drain into a bucket, only if you can stand safely to one side.
Next, photograph the roof from the ground, any broken windows, hail dents on gutters or cars, and every water stain inside. Then call your insurer and call us at (940) 274-9880. We tarp the roof or board the window the same day so the next storm does not add to the claim.
Avoid climbing on a wet or hail-damaged roof. Leave that to a crew with fall protection.
Stay clear of downed power lines and call your electric utility. Do not walk through standing water in a room where outlets or cords may be submerged. If you smell gas, leave the house and call 911.

When storms hit Lewisville hardest
North Texas weather runs in seasons. So does the damage.
- March to JunePeak hail and severe thunderstorm season. Storm reports logged golf ball size hail, 1.75 inches, in Lewisville on May 22, 2024. Hail cracks shingles and skylights and dents metal vents, opening paths for rain.
- Spring and fallSlow-moving storms bring heavy rain. May 2015 dropped nearly 17 inches on the area, and October 2018 was the wettest October on record for DFW.
- SummerPop-up storms bring straight-line winds that break limbs and lift roof edges. Tree damage on older streets is common.
- WinterIce storms and hard freezes. Ice dams are rare here, but frozen pipes and fallen branches are not.
Even tropical systems reach this far inland. Hurricane Carla brought 86 mph winds to Lewisville in 1961.
What we do
Our storm damage restoration services
Tarping and board-up
Temporary roof tarps and window board-up stop more water and protect your claim. Most policies expect you to prevent further damage.
Attic and ceiling drying
Wet insulation usually comes out. We dry rafters and decking and replace ceiling drywall that sagged.
Wall and floor drying
Wind-driven rain runs down wall cavities. We find it with thermal imaging and dry it with targeted airflow.
Tree and debris damage
After a tree is removed, we dry and repair the water damage it let in through the roof or wall.
Flood from runoff
If storm runoff entered the home at ground level, we follow our flood cleanup process for contaminated water.
Flood cleanup in LewisvilleRebuild
Drywall, paint, insulation, and flooring repairs once the structure is dry.
Insurance
Storm claims, deductibles, and what drives cost
Wind and hail damage is usually covered under a homeowners policy, but many Texas policies carry a separate wind and hail deductible, often a percentage of the home’s insured value. Check yours before you assume the claim is worth filing.
Water that came in through storm damage to the roof or windows is often covered as part of the same event. Rising water from outside is flood and needs a flood policy.
Cost depends on how many rooms got wet, whether insulation and ceilings came down, how long water sat before drying started, and roof size for tarping. Our photos and moisture logs tie the interior water to the storm date. Get a rough range from our water damage cost calculator.

Why a local storm crew matters
After a big North Texas hailstorm, out-of-town contractors often show up by the dozen. Some knock on doors and push roof deals. We do water damage restoration, not door-to-door roofing, and we are based just up I-35E in Denton.
That matters when you need someone to come back. A storm job takes daily drying visits, an adjuster meeting, and repairs weeks later. A crew based in Denton County is easier to reach through all of it.
Our technicians are IICRC certified and dry to the S500 standard. We aim to be at most Lewisville homes in about 60 minutes, though big regional storms can stretch that. We will tell you honestly when to expect us.

FAQ
Lewisville storm damage FAQ
Should I call my roofer or a restoration company first?
If water is coming inside, call restoration first. We stop the water with a tarp and start drying. Your roofer can do the permanent repair once the adjuster has seen the damage.
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
Look for dented gutters, vents, and mailboxes, granules in the downspouts, and new ceiling stains. A roofer or adjuster should confirm it before any claim is settled.
How long do I have to file a storm claim in Texas?
Deadlines depend on your policy. Many require prompt notice, and some set limits of a year or two from the storm date. Report damage as soon as you find it.
Is wet attic insulation a big deal?
Yes. Wet insulation loses its value, holds moisture against the ceiling, and can grow mold. It usually needs to be removed and replaced after drying.
Can you tarp my roof at night?
We can respond at night, but crews only climb a roof when it is safe. In heavy rain or lightning, we protect the inside first with buckets, plastic, and extraction, then tarp as soon as conditions allow.
