The Real Scope of Storm Damage in Houston
Storm damage goes far beyond what is immediately visible. A missing shingle, a broken window, or fallen debris tells only part of the story. The most serious damage is often what the storm left inside, water intrusion through a compromised roof soaking ceiling joists, insulation, and drywall; floodwater saturating walls and flooring; high winds weakening structural connections; hail damaging roofing membranes, gutters, and HVAC equipment.
Without rapid, professional intervention, storm damage compounds quickly. Water that enters through a damaged roof begins degrading building materials within hours. Mold follows within 24 to 48 hours. Structural materials that remain wet begin to swell, rot, and lose integrity. What is restorable in the first 24 hours becomes a much larger, more expensive problem within a week.
Raus Restoration is built to respond to exactly this type of time-sensitive emergency, with the team, equipment, and expertise to stop secondary damage before it starts.

Our Storm Damage Restoration Process
24/7 Emergency Dispatch
We operate around the clock, every day of the year. When a storm hits, our team is ready. We aim to be on-site within 60 minutes for emergency storm damage situations across greater Houston and Harris County.
Safety Assessment & Damage Evaluation
Before any restoration work begins, we conduct a full safety assessment, checking for structural instability, downed power lines, gas hazards, and other immediate risks. We then evaluate the complete scope of storm damage using professional inspection tools and document everything photographically for your insurance claim.
Emergency Board-Up & Roof Tarping
Damaged roofing, broken windows, and compromised walls are secured immediately with weatherproof tarping and board-up materials. This stops additional water intrusion, protects your property from further weather exposure, and secures the structure against unauthorized entry.
Water Extraction & Flood Cleanup
Storm-related flooding and water intrusion are addressed with industrial-grade water extraction, structural drying, and commercial dehumidification. We eliminate moisture completely, not just from visible surfaces but from inside walls, beneath flooring, and within ceiling cavities.
Debris Removal & Site Cleanup
We remove all storm debris, fallen trees, damaged materials, destroyed contents, mud, and contaminated material, and dispose of everything properly. The site is cleared and made safe before structural repairs begin.
Structural Assessment & Repair
Our team assesses all structural elements affected by the storm, roofing systems, walls, floors, ceilings, foundations, and load-bearing elements, and carries out full repairs to restore the structural integrity, safety, and function of your property.
Full Property Restoration
From interior finishing work to major reconstruction, we restore your property completely to its pre-storm condition using quality materials and skilled workmanship. You will not need a separate contractor, we manage everything from emergency response to final walkthrough.

What should I do immediately after storm damage to my Houston property?
Ensure everyone’s safety first and do not enter any area with structural damage until it has been assessed. Then call Raus Restoration immediately, the faster emergency board-up and water extraction can begin, the less additional damage your property will sustain.

Flood damage from rising water typically requires separate flood insurance. We document all damage thoroughly and work directly with your insurer to maximize your coverage.
Can storm damage lead to mold growth in my Houston home?
Yes, and quickly. Houston’s humidity means mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of water intrusion from a storm.

If mold is discovered during our restoration work, we offer full mold remediation services.
How long does storm damage restoration take?
Timeline depends entirely on the scope of damage. Emergency board-up and water extraction typically begin within hours of the initial call. Full structural drying takes 3 to 5 days.
