Common Types of Storm Damage in North Texas
North Texas properties can be exposed to a wide range of severe weather conditions throughout the year. ARS helps restore properties affected by many forms of storm-related damage, including:
Wind Damage
Strong winds can loosen roofing materials, damage exterior components, break windows and create openings that allow rainwater into the structure.
Even a relatively small opening can lead to significant interior water damage if heavy rain continues.
Heavy Rain & Water Intrusion
Wind-driven rain can enter through damaged roofs, windows, doors and other openings. Water may travel behind walls, beneath flooring and into ceiling cavities where the full extent of the damage is not immediately visible.
Professional moisture detection and drying can help identify and address affected materials before secondary damage develops.
Flash Flooding
Heavy North Texas rainstorms can overwhelm drainage systems and create rapid flooding.
When floodwater enters a property, professional extraction, drying, cleaning and sanitization may be necessary. ARS provides comprehensive flood damage cleanup and restoration for residential and commercial properties throughout Dallas and surrounding communities.
Hail Damage
Severe hail can damage roofing materials, windows, exterior surfaces and other components of a property.
When hail damage creates an opening in the structure, additional rainwater may enter the building and cause damage to ceilings, walls, insulation, flooring and contents.
Fallen Tree & Debris Damage
High winds and saturated soil can cause tree limbs or trees to fall onto homes and commercial structures.
Once the immediate exterior hazard has been addressed, ARS can help secure damaged openings, address resulting water intrusion and restore affected interior areas.
Tornado & Severe Thunderstorm Damage
Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes can cause widespread property damage, including broken windows, damaged roofs, water intrusion, structural damage and displaced building materials.
ARS provides restoration services designed to address the resulting property damage and help begin the recovery process.
Our Storm Damage Restoration Process
Every storm loss is different. The appropriate restoration plan depends on the type of storm, extent of property damage, amount of water intrusion and condition of the structure. Our process is designed to stabilize the property first and then move systematically toward restoration.
Emergency Inspection & Damage Assessment
The first step is evaluating the affected property. Our team identifies visible storm damage, areas of water intrusion, damaged materials and immediate restoration needs. We also look for signs that water may have traveled beyond the visibly affected area. A storm-damaged ceiling, for example, may indicate moisture within insulation, framing or wall cavities. Detecting this moisture early is an important part of preventing additional damage.
Property Securing, Board-Up & Tarping
Storm damage can leave windows, doors, roofs or other portions of a building exposed. Where appropriate, temporary board-up and tarping can help protect damaged areas from continued rain, wind, animals, unauthorized entry and additional exposure while permanent repairs are planned. ARS already provides board-up and tarping as part of our comprehensive property restoration services.
Emergency Water Extraction
If rain or floodwater has entered the property, standing water should be removed as quickly as possible. ARS uses professional extraction equipment to remove water from affected areas and begin the drying process. Our water damage restoration team has the equipment and experience needed to address both visible water and moisture hidden within building materials.
- Carpet and carpet padding
- Hardwood and other flooring
- Drywall
- Insulation
- Baseboards
- Cabinets
- Ceilings
- Wall cavities
- Furniture and upholstery
- Structural framing
- Personal belongings
Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Removing standing water is only the beginning. Moisture can remain trapped inside walls, flooring, ceilings and other porous materials long after the visible water disappears. ARS uses commercial air movers, dehumidification equipment and moisture detection technology to help dry affected materials and control indoor humidity. Thorough drying is important because lingering moisture can contribute to warped materials, deterioration, odors and mold growth.
Cleaning, Sanitization & Odor Control
Storm and flood damage can introduce dirt, debris and contaminants into a building. After water and damaged materials are removed, affected areas may require professional cleaning, sanitization and deodorization. The specific cleaning process depends on the type of water involved and the materials affected.
Damaged Material Removal
Some storm-damaged materials can be cleaned and restored. Others may be too heavily damaged to save. Our goal is to preserve materials whenever practical while removing materials that cannot be properly restored.
- Drywall
- Insulation
- Carpet padding
- Flooring
- Ceiling materials
- Trim and baseboards
- Cabinet components
- Other water-damaged or unsalvageable materials
Contents Cleaning & Restoration
Storm damage often affects more than the building itself. Furniture, rugs, upholstery, electronics, documents and personal belongings may also be exposed to water, dirt, smoke, debris or other contaminants. ARS can evaluate affected contents and determine which items may be cleaned, dried or restored. When necessary, damaged contents may be packed out and temporarily stored while restoration work is completed.
Structural Repairs & Restoration
Once emergency mitigation, water removal and drying are complete, damaged portions of the property may need to be repaired or rebuilt. ARS's existing restoration capabilities include repairs such as drywall replacement, flooring restoration, painting and partial rebuilding. The goal is not simply to remove water or clean up storm-related debris. It is to help return your property to a safe, usable condition.

Secondary Damage & Emergency Protection
Water Damage After a Storm
Water intrusion is one of the most common secondary problems following storm damage.
A roof may appear to have only minor damage while rainwater is already soaking attic insulation. A broken window can allow water to saturate drywall and flooring. Wind-driven rain may enter around damaged building components and travel into areas that are difficult to see.
That is why simply stopping the visible leak may not be enough.
Professional water restoration can include:
- Water extraction
- Moisture detection
- Structural drying
- Dehumidification
- Removal of unsalvageable materials
- Sanitization
- Mold prevention and remediation
- Contents restoration
- Structural repairs

Emergency Board-Up & Temporary Roof Tarping
Broken windows, damaged doors and openings in a roof can leave a property vulnerable after a storm.
Temporary board-up and roof tarping can help reduce continued exposure while the extent of the damage is evaluated and permanent repairs are arranged.
These emergency stabilization measures may help:
- Reduce additional rainwater intrusion
- Protect exposed areas from weather
- Secure broken windows and doors
- Limit access to damaged portions of the property
- Reduce additional damage before repairs begin
Property owners should not attempt to climb onto a wet, unstable or storm-damaged roof. Electrical hazards, weakened roofing and concealed structural damage can make storm-damaged properties dangerous.
If you are unsure whether your property is safe to enter after severe storm damage, prioritize personal safety and wait until appropriate professionals have evaluated the conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Storm Damage Restoration
What should I do immediately after storm damage?
Put safety first. Stay away from downed electrical lines, standing water near electrical systems, visibly unstable ceilings and severely damaged portions of the structure. When it is safe, document visible damage with photographs and contact a professional restoration company if water has entered the property or the building requires emergency stabilization. For emergency restoration assistance, call ARS at 972-287-5856.
How quickly should storm damage restoration begin?
As soon as safely possible. Openings in the building can allow additional rainwater inside, while standing water and wet building materials can continue deteriorating over time. Prompt board-up, temporary protection, water extraction and drying can help limit secondary damage.
Can ARS remove water that entered during a storm?
Yes. ARS provides professional water extraction, drying, dehumidification and moisture monitoring for storm-related water damage. Learn more about our water and flood restoration services.
Do you provide emergency board-up services?
Yes. ARS provides board-up and temporary protection as part of its property restoration services when windows, doors, roofs or other structural openings require securing.
Can you tarp a storm-damaged roof?
ARS's existing restoration services include temporary roof tarping to help protect damaged properties from continued weather exposure while permanent repairs are addressed.
Can water from a damaged roof cause mold?
Yes. Water entering through a damaged roof can soak insulation, ceilings, drywall, wood and other materials. If affected areas remain wet, conditions can develop that support mold growth. Fast water removal, moisture detection and structural drying can help reduce this risk.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage?
Many homeowners and commercial property insurance policies provide some coverage for certain types of storm damage, but coverage, deductibles and exclusions vary considerably. Wind, hail, flooding and other causes of loss may also be treated differently under a policy. Contact your insurance carrier or adjuster to determine what is covered under your specific policy.
Should I inspect my roof myself after a storm?
Avoid climbing onto a roof that may be wet, unstable or damaged. Storm damage is not always visible from the ground, and damaged roofing can create serious fall and structural hazards. Use qualified professionals when a roof requires inspection or repair.
Do you restore commercial properties after storms?
Yes. ARS provides property restoration services for both residential and commercial properties throughout Dallas and North Texas.
How long does storm damage restoration take?
The timeline depends on the extent of damage. A smaller water intrusion project may require extraction and several days of drying, while extensive storm damage involving structural materials, contents and repairs may require significantly more time. ARS can provide a clearer restoration plan after evaluating the affected property.
