Not every storm loss starts on the ground. In the Hill Country, spring and fall storms bring hail, downbursts, and wind-driven rain that push water sideways through the roof, the ridge vents, windows, and any wall penetration, soaking an attic or a second-floor wall without a drop of flooding outside. Texas Dry Home traces where the water got in, dries the structure, and stops the mold before it starts.

How Hill Country storms push water into a home
Wind-driven rain finds every weak point the building has, and a hailstorm creates new ones:
- Hail cracks shingles and flashing, so the next rain runs straight into the attic
- Downburst winds drive rain up under the eaves, into ridge and gable vents, and behind siding
- Rain is forced through window seals, weep holes, and door thresholds that hold up in a normal shower
- A garage or patio door blown open lets a wall of rain into the lowest part of the house
The National Weather Service in Austin and San Antonio tracks the severe storms and hail that hit this area, and the Ready.gov storm guidance covers how to stay safe while one passes.
Our storm water cleanup in Spicewood
The first job is to stop more water from coming in, so we help get a temporary cover or tarp over an opened roof and coordinate the roofer while we work inside. Then we find the full reach of what already entered. Storm water travels along the top of a ceiling, down inside a wall, and across an attic floor, so we use meters and a thermal camera to map it. We extract standing water, open only the wet materials, and set air movers and dehumidifiers so our structural drying crews dry the framing, insulation, and drywall to a verified reading. Where the water came through the roof or attic, our roof and attic leak crews follow the path to the source.

☎ Call (737) 530-9201Photograph the damage before you clean up
Once you are safe, photograph the roof, the ceilings, and any wet rooms before anything is moved or dried. Storm claims move faster when the entry point and the interior damage are both documented, and we add our own moisture readings and scope to that record.
Wind-driven rain, flooding, and your claim
The difference matters to your policy. Water that enters through a storm-damaged roof or window is usually covered as wind-driven rain under a standard homeowner policy, while rising water from a creek or the lake is flash flooding and typically needs a separate flood policy. We document the loss carefully so the cause is clear, and bill your carrier directly for covered work.
Drying the envelope before mold
Wet insulation and framing in a closed attic dry slowly, and Central Texas humidity works against them, so a storm leak that is only wiped down grows mold within a day or two. We dry the cavity, not just the surface, and if a slow leak or a clogged attic AC line hid the moisture until it stained the ceiling, we trace that too.
"A hailstorm beat up the roof and the next rain came right into the attic and a bedroom ceiling. They tarped it, traced how far the water had run, and dried the framing so we did not end up with mold. They made the insurance side simple."

Spicewood water damage questions, answered
Rain came through my roof in a storm, what do I do?
If it is safe, put a bucket under the drip, move furniture clear, and photograph the ceiling and any wet rooms. Do not get on a wet or storm-damaged roof yourself. Call (737) 530-9201 and we help get a tarp over the opening, then trace and dry the water inside.
Is storm water damage covered by insurance?
Water that enters through a storm-damaged roof, window, or wall is usually covered as wind-driven rain under a standard homeowner policy. Rising water from a creek or the lake is flood, which needs a separate policy. We document the cause and interior damage and bill your carrier directly for covered work.
Do you fix the roof too?
We handle the water damage inside and help get a temporary cover over the opening to stop more water, then coordinate with a roofer for the permanent repair while we dry the attic, ceilings, and walls. That keeps the water and the roof work moving together.
How do you find where the water got in?
Storm water travels along framing and inside walls before it shows, so we use moisture meters and a thermal camera to map the wet path back to the entry point, whether that is a cracked shingle, a vent, or a window seal, and open only what is actually wet.
How fast can you respond during a storm?
We answer live 24/7 through Hill Country storms and reach most of the Lake Travis area in 45 to 75 minutes. Calling while the storm is still active lets us stop more water from coming in and start drying before mold sets in.
Will the attic insulation have to come out?
Soaked insulation loses its value and holds moisture against the framing, so wet sections usually come out while dry sections stay. We dry the framing and decking to a verified reading before any insulation or drywall is replaced.
