Storm Water Damage in Houston
Patriot Dry provides storm water damage services in Houston, TX. Extraction and drying when wind-driven rain, storm runoff, or surface water gets into a building through doors, windows, foundations, or roofs.
Flash flooding, hurricanes and tropical storms, slab leaks, and AC drain line overflows are common causes of water damage.
Most homes are single-family houses on slab foundations, along with many apartment complexes. Air conditioning runs most of the year.
Texas sees hurricanes on the Gulf Coast, flash flooding, hail, and occasional hard freezes, so water losses vary widely by region.

Call Now (833) 502-4258Hurricanes and wind-driven rain
Tropical storms and hurricanes bring wind-driven rain through damaged roofs, windows, and siding, as well as flooding. After a storm in Texas, storm water damage often starts with tarping openings and removing wet insulation and drywall before mold can develop.
Storm surge and coastal flooding
Storm surge and tidal flooding are treated as contaminated (Category 3) water. In coastal parts of Texas, materials soaked by surge water are usually removed rather than dried in place. Standard homeowners policies generally exclude this kind of flooding, which is covered by separate flood insurance such as the National Flood Insurance Program.
River and flash flooding
River and flash flooding affect many communities in Texas. Floodwater carries sewage, chemicals, and silt, so cleanup involves removing porous materials and disinfecting, not only drying. If you are considering flood insurance, NFIP policies typically have a 30-day waiting period before coverage starts.
Severe storms and roof damage
Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in Texas tear off shingles and break windows, letting rain into attics and walls. Tarping the opening quickly limits how far water spreads, and wet insulation is usually replaced.
- Wind-damaged roofs
- Broken windows and doors
- Runoff into basements
- Clogged gutters
