Common Causes of Storm Damage in San Antonio

Hail Damage

San Antonio's April 2016 hailstorm was the costliest hail event in Texas history. Large hail dents siding and cracks windows. It also breaks roofing in ways you often can't see from the ground.

air

High Winds & Microbursts

Straight-line winds and microbursts routinely exceed 70 mph in South Texas storms. At that speed, wind tears off shingles and damages siding. It can also topple a mature live oak onto your roof.

cyclone

Flash Flooding

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

park

Fallen Trees & Debris

Wind-toppled trees crash through roofs and walls. That causes immediate structural damage and opens points where water gets in.

Winter Storms

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

Lightning

A direct strike can start a fire or blow out electrical systems. It can also open entry points for water.

Frequently Asked Questions — Storm Damage in San Antonio

San Antonio-Specific Questions

How fast can you tarp my roof after a San Antonio hailstorm? +

We dispatch from our office at 119 E Turbo Dr on the north side and typically arrive within 60 minutes anywhere in San Antonio. After a major event like the April 2016 storm demand surges, but as the local company we prioritize our own city and stabilize homes first to stop water intrusion.

Is hail damage like the 2016 storm covered by insurance? +

Yes. Wind and hail damage are covered under standard Texas homeowners policies. The 2016 storm showed how often hail damage hides: bruised shingles look fine from the ground and leak months later. We document every impact and can supplement the claim if the initial estimate falls short.

Can you handle flood damage and roof damage from the same storm? +

Yes. San Antonio sits in Flash Flood Alley, so one storm often sends hail through a roof and creek water through the door. We handle storm-water extraction, structural drying, roof tarping, and the full rebuild as a single point of contact with direct insurance billing.

General Storm Damage Questions

How quickly can you respond to storm damage in San Antonio? +

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 San Antonio 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.
