Storm Damage in New Braunfels: What You Need to Know

New Braunfels has one of the most severe flood histories in Texas — the Guadalupe and Comal rivers produced devastating floods in 1972, 1998, and 2010, and the city also sits in the I-35 corridor's spring hail path. Doan Restoration responds with emergency tarping and board-up, storm and flood water extraction, structural drying, and full reconstruction.

The 1998 flood pushed the Guadalupe River to levels that redefined flood maps across Comal County — river flooding here is a matter of when, not if.

Common Causes of Storm Damage in New Braunfels

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.

Winter Storms

South Texas winter events like February 2021 coat trees and power lines in ice, causing widespread damage, burst pipes, and extended outages.

Lightning

Direct strikes can cause fires, blow out electrical systems, and create entry points for water.

Frequently Asked Questions — Storm Damage in New Braunfels

New Braunfels-Specific Questions

How bad can Guadalupe River flooding in New Braunfels actually get? +

Historically devastating — the 1972, 1998, and 2010 floods are benchmarks for the entire state, and heavy rain over the upstream Hill Country watershed can send major water downstream with little warning. We respond with extraction, structural drying, and full flood reconstruction.

Can you restore historic homes in Gruene and downtown New Braunfels after a storm? +

Yes. German-heritage and century-old homes near Gruene and the Sophienburg need careful drying and period-appropriate reconstruction, not just a fast patch. We handle both the emergency stabilization and a rebuild that respects the original construction.

Does Doan Restoration really serve New Braunfels from San Antonio? +

Yes — New Braunfels is a straight run up I-35 from our office and firmly inside our 24/7 service area. We dispatch around the clock for river and flash flooding, corridor hail, and wind damage, from Hunters Creek to Vintage Oaks and Meyer Ranch.

General Storm Damage Questions

How quickly can you respond to storm damage in New Braunfels? +

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 New Braunfels 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.
