PuroClean Property Restoration Experts understand that storm damage can wreak havoc on your home, leading to long-term problems if not addressed immediately. In one recent case in Richardson, TX, a homeowner faced serious damage after a tree fell on their roof.
Although a temporary roof repair provided momentary relief, subsequent storms caused significant leaks that required professional storm roof damage restoration. Here’s how our team stepped in to restore the property and prevent further damage.
A Storm Roof Damage Restoration in Progress
A few months ago, a large tree crashed into the roof of our client’s home, causing structural damage. After removing the tree, a temporary roof repair was done to stop the immediate leak. However, this was only a stopgap measure. In the following months, severe storms rolled through Richardson, and the roof began to leak in multiple places, including the living room, kitchen, and bathroom.


The storm caused great damage to the living room and left behind wet ceilings.
Unfortunately, the temporary fix didn’t hold up to the relentless weather. The homeowner noticed moisture spots growing on the ceiling, but by the time the extent of the problem was realized, the water had been soaking the drywall, insulation, and flooring for over a month.
At this point, we categorized it as a Category 3 (CAT 3) water loss due to the prolonged exposure to moisture and the potential health risks. The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification considers a category three as black water, which is highly contaminated and may have harmful, toxic bacteria.
Storm Roof Damage Restoration Begins
When we arrived on-site, we assessed the extent of the storm roof damage and agreed that immediate action was necessary.


We used moisture meters and infrared cameras to detect the wall’s dampness.
After measuring the wall’s levels, our team began by removing the wet and damaged drywall from the ceiling and the affected wall drywall and insulation. This was critical in preventing mold from developing, which is a common issue after prolonged water exposure. As experts in storm roof damage restoration, our priority was to mitigate any further damage while ensuring the home was habitable for our client.
In some cases, it’s possible to save certain materials like flooring, but after further inspection, the homeowner and our team agreed that the wood flooring couldn’t be salvaged. The nails and pier-and-beam structure had suffered too much water damage. Removing the damaged flooring was the best course of action to prevent mold growth and further structural issues.
What’s Next?
One of the tools that helped streamline our storm roof damage restoration was Encircle, a program we use to create digital floor plans quickly. In this particular case, we created a detailed floor plan of the home in just 15 minutes, reducing our usual processing time by tenfold. Once the plan was uploaded, it became accessible to our office staff, allowing us to generate estimates quickly and accurately. This technology has been a game-changer for our team, allowing us to focus more on the restoration work rather than spending excessive time on paperwork.

The restoration process moved swiftly once we had the floor plan and assessment. We used industrial-grade drying equipment to remove all moisture from the affected areas. This step was essential for drying and eliminating the possibility of mold, which thrives in damp environments.
Efficient and Thorough Restoration
Our team worked efficiently, removing all water-damaged materials and properly drying and treating the structure. Storm roof damage restoration requires careful attention to detail, and we checked every part of the home affected by the leaks, from the ceiling to the walls and flooring. By the time we were done, we had removed all traces of water and prepared the house for reconstruction.

This kind of damage can be overwhelming for homeowners, but our swift action and use of cutting-edge technology ensured that the restoration process was as seamless as possible. The homeowner appreciated our ability to quickly assess the damage, remove the compromised materials, and begin drying out the space within hours of our arrival.
