What storms do to Krum properties
Spring is peak severe weather season in North Texas, and Krum has taken its share.
Hail
Hail cracks shingles, skylights, and vents. The roof may not leak until the next rain, so check your attic after a hail storm even if the ceilings look fine.
Wind and tornadoes
The National Weather Service has confirmed an EF-0 tornado in Krum, with top winds near 75 mph and damage mostly to trees. Falling limbs and lifted shingles let rain straight in.
Wind-driven rain
Sideways rain pushes water past window seals, siding, and garage doors. It often shows up as wet baseboards on the storm side of the house.
After the storm: a Krum checklist
- Right after it passesStay clear of downed lines. Photograph roof damage, broken windows, and fallen limbs from the ground.
- Within the hourLook in the attic with a flashlight for wet decking or insulation. Put buckets under drips and move belongings.
- When skies clearDented gutters, vents, and patio furniture usually mean the roof took hits too. Let a roofer walk the shingles instead of climbing up yourself.
- Same dayCall (940) 274-9880 for tarping and water removal, and open a claim with your carrier.
- Next few daysKeep receipts for tarps, hotel stays, and supplies. Do not sign a roofing contract under pressure from door-to-door crews.
Storm damage restoration in Krum: our part
First we stop more water from getting in. That means tarping roof openings and boarding broken windows or doors. Then we trace moisture through the attic, ceilings, and walls with meters and thermal imaging.
Wet insulation usually comes out. Sagging ceiling drywall comes down in a controlled way. We dry framing and decking with air movers and dehumidifiers and log it every day.
Rural properties add barns, shops, and fences to the list. We can dry finished outbuildings with power and document damage to the rest for your adjuster. Roof replacement is a roofer’s job, and we coordinate with the one you choose.
Before the next storm
Getting a Krum property ready for hail season
House
Photograph your roof, siding, and windows each spring so you can show what changed. Clear gutters and downspouts, and trim limbs that hang over the roof.
Outbuildings and yard
Check barn and shop roofs for loose panels and fasteners. Tie down or store anything the wind can throw, and know where your well house and septic lids are.
A tarp is a short-term fix. Most insurers expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent more damage, and a documented tarp job counts. Keep the invoice with your claim.
Storm damage cleanup in Krum when the power is out
Severe storms often knock out power for hours. Drying equipment needs electricity, so we plan around it. When power is down, we still extract standing water, pull soaked materials, tarp, and document. Once power returns, or with a generator where it is safe, we set air movers and dehumidifiers.
Do not run a generator inside a garage or near open windows. Carbon monoxide builds up fast in closed spaces.
Claims and cost after a storm
Wind and hail damage are usually covered under a homeowners policy, often with a separate wind and hail deductible. Rising floodwater is not, and needs a flood policy. Coverage depends on your policy. Cost depends on how many rooms got wet, ceiling and insulation work, and tarping or board-up needs.
We photograph the damage before and after tarping, log drying, and can meet your adjuster. Try the water damage cost calculator for a rough range, or read why North Texas storms cause so much water damage.

FAQ
Krum storm questions
Do you tarp roofs at night or during bad weather?
We come out as soon as it is safe to get on the roof. If it is still storming or dark, we start with water removal inside and tarp at first safe light.
My ceiling has a small stain after hail. Is that urgent?
It can be. A small stain often means wet insulation and decking above it. Checking early keeps it from becoming a mold job.
Can you dry out my barn or shop after a storm?
Yes, if it has power for our equipment. We focus on finished areas, stored goods, and insulation.
What is a wind and hail deductible?
Many Texas policies set a separate deductible for wind and hail, often a percentage of your dwelling coverage. Check your declarations page or ask your agent.
Should I wait for the adjuster before calling you?
No. Take photos, then let us stop the water. Insurers expect you to prevent further damage, and our records show the adjuster what was there.
Can you help if a tree fell on my house?
We can tarp, board up, and dry the interior once a tree service removes the tree. Take photos of the tree in place first for your claim.
