Every storm job starts with the same core scope: stop the water, get it out, dry the structure, and document it. What changes is how far the water traveled. Here is what is standard on a Round Rock storm call and what gets added when the damage runs deeper.
We tarp any breached roof section and board up broken windows or doors the same day. This is the step that stops the water from spreading while you wait on a roofer. Tarps are secured with weighted edges and rated for Texas wind gusts.
Standing water comes out with a truck-mounted extraction wand. Saturated carpet pad, insulation, and absorbent pads get bagged and hauled. Most single-room storm jobs pull 50 to 200 gallons; a full roof breach can run 600 or more.
We set Dri-Eaz air movers and Phoenix Restoration Equipment dehumidifiers and check readings daily with a psychrometer and moisture meter. Drying typically runs 3 to 5 days. Equipment stays until the structure hits dry standard, not until it feels dry.
Affected framing and cavities get an antimicrobial spray after extraction. This is not a mold treatment; it is a preventive step that buys you time while the structure dries. If mold is already present, we scope a separate remediation.
You get a room-by-room Xactimate scope with photos, moisture maps, and equipment logs. This is the file your adjuster needs to approve the claim. We build it on the first visit so nothing gets missed and nothing gets argued about later.
Storm & Hail Damage Restoration Round Rock TX is the emergency trade that stops storm water from spreading through a house after hail, wind, or heavy rain opens the roof. We tarp the breach, extract standing water, pull wet insulation, and dry the framing with air movers and dehumidifiers. Hail the size of a golf ball can crack shingles without leaving a visible hole from the ground, so we inspect with a thermal imaging camera and a moisture meter before we tell you the attic is fine.
Central Texas storms hit hard in spring and fall, and Round Rock sits right in the hail belt that runs from Williamson County down through Travis. After a bad cell rolls through Forest Creek or Teravista, we get calls about ceiling leaks, soaked attic insulation, and water pooling behind drywall. If you need emergency storm damage cleanup near me Round Rock, we are already loading the truck. The first 24 to 48 hours decide whether you are drying a house or remediating mold in it.
Five steps, from the first phone call to the final moisture reading. You will know what is happening and what it costs before we start.
Schedule
Call or book online — a real human picks up and confirms a 2-hour arrival window.
Diagnose
Licensed tech inspects on-site, then walks you through the cause and your options.
Fix
The job is completed to code and done right the first time — no shortcuts, no surprises.
Guarantee
Every job backed by a written workmanship warranty — and we stand behind it.
Thermal Imaging Camera
Finds temperature differences behind drywall and in attic decking that reveal water you cannot see. We use it on every storm inspection to map the wet footprint before we set equipment.
Moisture Meter And Hygrometer
Gives us a numeric reading on how wet framing, drywall, and subfloor actually are. We log readings daily and use them to decide when drying is finished.
Dri-Eaz Air Movers And Dehumidifiers
The workhorses of structural drying. Air movers evaporate moisture from surfaces while dehumidifiers pull it out of the air. A standard storm job uses 6 to 12 air movers.
Phoenix Restoration Equipment Dehumidifiers
Low-grain refrigerant and desiccant units that keep drying fast in Texas humidity. We size them to the cubic footage of the wet zone, not to a rule of thumb.
Extraction Wand And Truck Mount
Pulls standing water out of carpet, pad, and hard flooring fast. A truck-mounted unit removes far more water per pass than a portable shop vac.
Boroscope And Inspection Camera
Lets us look inside wall cavities and under cabinets without tearing everything open. We use it to confirm the water path before we cut drywall.
Psychrometer
Measures both temperature and relative humidity so we can calculate dew point and confirm the structure is drying, not just cycling moisture around.
IICRC S500 Drying Standard
We follow the IICRC S500 standard for water damage restoration, which sets the drying goals and documentation requirements for every job. It is the same standard your insurance adjuster references when they review our scope.
Xactimate Scoping
Every storm job gets a room-by-room scope built in Xactimate, the estimating platform most Texas carriers use. That means the line items, quantities, and pricing in our report match what your adjuster expects to see.
Containment And HEPA Filtration
When a storm job involves mold risk or contaminated water, we set polyethylene sheeting containment barriers and run HEPA filters to keep spores and dust out of clean areas of the home.
Daily Moisture Documentation
We take and log moisture readings every day of the drying cycle. That log is what tells us when to pull equipment and what proves to your carrier that the structure is dry.
01
What we do: We inspect the roof line and attic with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter. If we find a breach, we tarp it and start drying before the next rain. If it is dry, we tell you that and you owe nothing for the inspection.
→ You either get ahead of a leak or get confirmation your roof held. Either way you are not guessing.
02
What we do: We cut power to that circuit, tarp the roof, and extract the water above the ceiling. Then we dry the attic and the ceiling cavity with air movers and a dehumidifier. Most jobs like this dry in 3 to 4 days.
→ The drip stops the same day, the ceiling cavity dries, and you avoid a full drywall replacement.
03
What we do: We mobilize a commercial crew with Fantech and Abatement Technologies equipment, set containment, and run drying 24/7. Every unit gets documented in Xactimate for the property carrier.
→ Units dry in 4 to 6 days and the carrier gets a scope they can approve in one pass.
04
What we do: We extract the standing water, treat the affected area with antimicrobial spray, and dry the slab and wall base. If the water was contaminated, we handle it as a sewage cleanup with full PPE.
→ The garage is dry and safe to use again in 2 to 3 days, with documentation for your claim.
Round Rock sits in one of the most active hail corridors in Texas, and Williamson County sees damaging hail most years between March and June, with a second window in the fall. The housing stock matters too: older slab-on-grade homes near Downtown Round Rock and Round Rock West have attic insulation that soaks and compresses fast, while newer two-story builds in Teravista and Paloma Lake often hide storm water inside wall cavities where it shows up as a baseboard leak days later. We run 24/7 storm damage cleanup near me Round Rock TX calls with a tarp crew and an extraction crew staged separately, so a roof breach and a flooded hallway get handled at the same time. If you need hail damage roof repair and water cleanup in Round Rock TX, we scope the roof breach and the interior drying as one file so your adjuster sees the whole picture.
Forest Creek
Mature trees and older roof decks mean wind-driven rain finds flashing gaps fast. We see more attic-soak calls here than anywhere else in Round Rock.
Teravista
Two-story builds with complex rooflines. Storm water often travels inside wall cavities and shows up as a first-floor baseboard leak.
Paloma Lake
Newer construction with tight envelopes. When a storm breach happens, water spreads laterally under flooring before it shows on the ceiling.
Downtown Round Rock
Older slab-on-grade homes with original attic insulation. Wet insulation compresses and loses R-value quickly, so we pull and replace it.
Walsh Ranch
Large lots with detached structures. We often scope the house and the garage or shop as separate drying zones after a storm.
Hail season runs March through June with a fall second window
Most storm calls land in a six-week stretch. We pre-stage tarps and drying equipment so response times stay under 4 hours even on the busiest nights.
High summer humidity slows structural drying
Round Rock summers push relative humidity above 70 percent, so we size dehumidifiers larger and run drying 4 to 5 days instead of 3.
Clay soil and slab-on-grade foundations
Water that gets under a slab can wick into flooring from below. We check slab edges with a moisture meter on every storm job near Downtown Round Rock.
I-35 corridor traffic affects dispatch times
A storm that hits during rush hour can double drive time. We stage crews on both sides of the corridor so a Round Rock call does not wait on traffic.
Storm damage rarely shows up as one clean problem. It shows up as a wet ceiling, a swollen baseboard, and a smell you cannot place. Here are the ones we see most in Williamson County.
Problem
Wet insulation loses R-value, ceiling drywall sags, and mold can start within 48 hours in Texas humidity.
Our Fix
We tarp the breach, pull wet insulation, and dry the attic deck and ceiling cavity with air movers and dehumidifiers. A thermal imaging camera confirms the water path so we dry the whole footprint, not just the visible stain.
Problem
Water inside a wall shows up days later as a baseboard leak or bubbling paint, often after the storm has been forgotten.
Our Fix
We trace the cavity with a moisture meter and inspection camera, then set drying equipment with ventilation ducting to move air through the wall. If drywall is saturated, we cut a small access panel and dry the framing directly.
Problem
Category 3 contaminated water soaks flooring and framing, creating a health risk and a much larger remediation scope.
Our Fix
We treat it as a sewage cleanup: full PPE, removal of affected materials, antimicrobial spray, and HEPA-filtered drying. We document the contamination category clearly so your carrier scopes it correctly.
Problem
By the time a stain appears, the attic has usually been wet for days and insulation and framing need more drying time.
Our Fix
We inspect the attic on every storm call, not just the room with the stain. A moisture meter and thermal imaging camera find wet decking that looks dry from below. Catching it early keeps the job to drying instead of replacement.
Storm damage does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Here is what you get when you call us instead of a general handyman.
Tarp On In Hours
We tarp a breached roof the same day you call, usually within 2 to 4 hours of dispatch. That stops the water from running down your rafters into the attic insulation. A tarp is temporary, but it buys you the time to get a roofer out and keeps the interior damage from doubling overnight.
Water Out, Drying Started
Standing water comes out with a truck-mounted extraction wand before we set a single air mover. We map the wet zone with a moisture meter and a thermal imaging camera so we dry the whole footprint, not just the visible puddle. Most storm-water jobs hit dry standard in 3 to 5 days.
Insurance Paperwork Handled
We document every affected room with photos, moisture readings, and a room-by-room scope built in Xactimate. That is the same estimating platform most Texas carriers use, so your adjuster sees numbers that match their own. You get the file, you send it in, and you are not arguing about what was wet.
Mold Stopped Before It Starts
Mold can colonize wet drywall and framing in 24 to 48 hours in Texas humidity. We apply antimicrobial spray to affected cavities and set containment barriers when the scope calls for it. Catching it in the first two days is the difference between a drying bill and a mold remediation bill.

Called at 6 a.m. after hail hit our roof in Round Rock West. They had a tarp up by 9 and water extraction running by 11. Four days of drying and the attic was back to normal. The report they gave us made the insurance claim painless.
Google ★★★★★5.0
We had a ceiling leak in Teravista that we could not trace. Their tech found the breach with a thermal camera in about 20 minutes. Dried the attic, replaced insulation, and the stain stopped. Fair price and no upselling.
Yelp ★★★★★4.8
Property manager here. Storm tore up a roof at our La Frontera building and they ran drying 24/7 for five days across six units. Xactimate scope was clean and the carrier approved it first pass. That never happens.
BBB ★★★★★4.9
Straightforward from the first phone call. They told us what the storm damage restoration would cost, what our deductible would cover, and what the timeline looked like. No surprises on the invoice. Would call them again tomorrow.

We work with Xactimate daily, so our scopes read the way adjusters expect them to.
Real experiences from customers who chose our Storm & Hail Damage Restoration services.
“Hail came through Forest Creek on a Tuesday night and punched holes in our roof deck. Water was dripping into the hallway by morning. Round Rock Water Damage Pro had a tarp up by 9 a.m. and extraction running by noon. They dried the attic and ceiling for four days and gave us a report our insurance adjuster accepted without a single argument.”
Marcus T.
Homeowner, Forest Creek
“We had a ceiling stain spreading after a wind storm and I could not figure out where the water was coming from. Their tech used a thermal imaging camera and found the breach around a vent boot. They dried the attic, replaced insulation, and the stain stopped growing. Cost was right in the range they quoted on the phone.”
Priya S.
Homeowner, Teravista
“A storm tore a section of membrane off one of our buildings and we had water in six units by morning. Their crew ran drying 24/7 for five days and documented every unit in Xactimate. The carrier approved the scope in one pass. That is the first time I have seen that happen on a commercial storm claim.”

Real answers to the questions we hear most often from local homeowners and property managers.
When a storm breach dumps water into your living room, emergency water removal is the first move. We pull standing water with a truck-mounted extraction wand before any drying equipment goes down. In Round Rock, that first hour of extraction is what keeps a storm claim from turning into a flooring replacement.
View Emergency Water RemovalWater extraction goes deeper than a shop vac. We use an extraction wand and absorbent pads to pull water out of carpet, pad, and subfloor after a storm pushes rain through a window or roof breach. Most Round Rock storm jobs need 200 to 600 gallons pulled before drying can start.
View Water ExtractionAfter extraction comes drying. We set Dri-Eaz air movers and Phoenix Restoration Equipment dehumidifiers, then check readings daily with a psychrometer. Storm jobs in Round Rock typically dry in 3 to 5 days. We do not pull equipment until the moisture meter says the framing hit dry standard.
View Structural Drying & DehumidificationStorm flooding and flash flooding push water into homes through doors, garages, and low windows. Flood damage cleanup covers extraction, contaminated-material removal, antimicrobial spray, and drying. In Williamson County, we see this most after slow-moving cells stall over the same neighborhood for hours.
View Flood Damage CleanupA freeze event after a storm can burst a pipe in an exterior wall, and the damage looks a lot like storm water. We locate the break, extract, and dry the same way. If your Round Rock home has both a roof breach and a frozen pipe, we scope them together so nothing gets missed.
View Burst Pipe Water DamageStorm water can overload a municipal line and back sewage into a Round Rock home. That is a Category 3 job: contaminated water, full PPE, antimicrobial spray, and often removal of affected drywall. We handle it separately from clean storm water because the health risk and the disposal rules are different.
