What storms do to Hondo homes

Worker removing damaged shingles from a roof
  • Hail , including the record 6.4-inch stone that fell near Hondo on April 28, 2021, cracks shingles, punctures skylights and breaks windows. Small breaches let water into the attic, where it soaks insulation and shows up days later as ceiling stains.

  • Straight-line wind lifts shingles and sheathing (the April 2021 storm brought 80–110 mph winds across the county), drops limbs from mature live oaks onto roofs, and drives rain sideways through window and door seals.

  • Heavy rain overloads gutters and flat roof sections, and runs off clay soil toward foundations and crawlspaces.

  • Hard freezes , like the February 2021 winter storm that hit all of Texas, burst exposed pipes in attics, exterior walls and pier-and-beam crawlspaces.

Filing a storm claim in Texas

Wind and hail damage is normally covered under a Texas homeowners policy, often with a separate wind/hail deductible that is a percentage of the dwelling coverage. Policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, so tarping and drying promptly protects both the house and the claim. Keep receipts, photos and the name of everyone who worked on the property.

Watch for storm chasers. After big hail events, out-of-town crews knock on doors across Medina County. Texas law prohibits contractors from offering to pay or waive your insurance deductible. Get written estimates and check who you are dealing with.

FAQ

Storm Damage Restoration in Hondo: FAQs

Still unsure? A person answers the phone 24/7 and can talk you through it.

My ceiling has a stain after the storm but no dripping. Is that urgent?

It means water got into the attic. Wet insulation and drywall hold moisture for days and can grow mold. It is worth an inspection and a moisture check soon.

Do you replace roofs?

We handle emergency tarping, water removal and drying. The permanent roof repair or replacement is done by a roofing contractor, and we can document the interior damage for your claim.

What is a wind/hail deductible?

Many Texas policies set a separate deductible for wind and hail claims, usually a percentage (for example 1% or 2%) of the dwelling coverage, not a flat dollar amount. Check your declarations page.

Can a tree limb on the roof wait until morning?

If the roof is breached and rain is coming, it needs tarping now. If the roof is intact, it can wait for daylight. Stay out of rooms directly under the limb.
