Storm Damage in Bexar County: What You Need to Know

Bexar County pairs some of the nation's highest flash-flood risk along the Balcones Escarpment with a hail corridor that produced the April 2016 storm — the costliest hail event in Texas history at the time. Doan Restoration responds countywide from our northwest San Antonio office with emergency tarping and board-up, storm-water extraction, and full reconstruction.

The Balcones Escarpment makes Bexar County part of Flash Flood Alley, home to some of the deadliest flash floods in the nation — water rises here faster than almost anywhere else in the country.

Common Causes of Storm Damage in Bexar County

Hail Damage

San Antonio's April 2016 hailstorm was the costliest hail event in Texas history. Large hail dents siding, cracks windows, and shatters roofing — damage that often isn't visible from the ground.

High Winds & Microbursts

Straight-line winds and microbursts routinely exceed 70 mph in South Texas storms, tearing off shingles, damaging siding, and toppling mature live oaks onto roofs.

Flash Flooding

The Balcones Escarpment makes greater San Antonio the heart of Texas "Flash Flood Alley" — creeks like the Olmos, Salado, and Cibolo can rise from a trickle to a torrent in minutes.

Fallen Trees & Debris

Wind-toppled trees crash through roofs and walls, creating immediate structural damage and water intrusion points.

Frequently Asked Questions — Storm Damage in Bexar County

Bexar County-Specific Questions

Which Bexar County communities does Doan serve for storm damage? +

All of them. We respond countywide from our northwest San Antonio office — Windcrest, Kirby, Terrell Hills, Olmos Park, Shavano Park, Hollywood Park, Balcones Heights, and out to Elmendorf and Somerset — with 24/7 dispatch and typical 60-minute arrival.

What made the April 2016 hailstorm so historic for Bexar County? +

It dropped baseball-size hail across the county's north side and caused roughly $1.4 billion in damage — the costliest hail event in Texas history at the time. It also proved how much hail damage hides: thousands of roofs looked fine from the ground and leaked months later. We document damage immediately after every major storm.

Why is flash flooding such a serious risk across Bexar County? +

The county sits on the Balcones Escarpment in Flash Flood Alley, where steep Hill Country terrain dumps runoff into Salado, Leon, Olmos, and Cibolo creeks faster than almost anywhere in the nation. We handle water extraction, drying, and rebuild alongside any roof and wind damage from the same storm.

General Storm Damage Questions

How quickly can you respond to storm damage in Bexar County? +

We deploy crews within 60 minutes of your call. During major storm events, we pre-position teams across the San Antonio metro to ensure rapid response to Bexar County and surrounding areas.

Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage? +

Yes, storm damage from wind, hail, fallen trees, and lightning is typically covered by standard homeowner's policies. We document everything thoroughly and work directly with your insurer.

What should I do immediately after storm damage? +

Ensure everyone is safe first. If the roof is compromised, cover furnishings and move valuables. Do not go on the roof yourself. Document damage with photos and call us for emergency board-up and tarping.

Can you handle both emergency stabilization and full repair? +

Yes, we manage the entire process from initial emergency board-up through complete reconstruction, so you have a single point of contact throughout the restoration.

How long does storm damage restoration take? +

Emergency stabilization happens same-day. Full restoration timelines depend on severity — minor repairs may take 1–2 weeks, while major reconstruction can take 2–4 months.
