Hail & Wind Damage: How to Assess & Repair Your Home After a Texas Storm

What to Do If Your Home Sustains Roof or Structural Damage

Texas spring storms often bring damaging hail and high winds, which can severely impact your home’s roof, siding and windows. If your home is hit, it’s important to assess damage quickly and take action to prevent further issues.

1. Inspect Your Home for Storm Damage

After a hailstorm or severe winds, check for these key signs of damage:

Dented or cracked shingles (which can lead to leaks).
Loose siding or missing roof tiles from strong winds.
Broken or leaking gutters that could cause water damage.
Cracked windows or damaged seals that could let moisture in.

If damage is not addressed quickly, small leaks can turn into major structural issues.

2. Temporary Fixes to Prevent Further Damage

Before professional repairs can be scheduled, protect your home from worsening damage:

Cover exposed roof areas with tarps to prevent leaks.
Seal broken windows with plywood or plastic to keep out rain.
Remove fallen debris safely to prevent additional property damage.
