5 Things to Do After Storm Damage Hits Your Home in Houston

Your step-by-step guide to recovery, restoration, and getting every dollar you deserve.

🌀 Introduction

When a major storm hits Houston, the aftermath can feel overwhelming — from roof leaks and flooding to broken fences and soaked insulation. At Armantel, LLC, we specialize in storm damage repair in Houston, helping homeowners take control of the chaos, get their insurance claims moving fast, and restore their homes from the ground up.

If you’ve just experienced storm damage, don’t panic. Here are the 5 critical steps you need to take immediately — to protect your home, your finances, and your peace of mind.

✅ 1. Document the Damage Immediately

Before you touch anything — start taking photos and videos of every damaged area:

• Roof leaks and ceiling stains

• Flooded rooms

• Broken windows or doors

• Fence collapse

• Exterior damage (siding, gutters, downspouts)

Why?This documentation is vital evidence for your insurance claim. The more detail you have, the stronger your case.

📸 Pro Tip: Use your phone to take wide shots, then close-ups. Narrate the videos. Capture dates/times if possible.

✅ 2. Prevent Further Damage (Even Temporary Repairs Help)

Your insurance policy usually requires you to prevent further damage — even while waiting for adjusters.

That means:

• Tarping your roof

• Boarding up broken windows

• Shutting off water if flooding occurs

• Removing wet materials to prevent mold

At Armantel, LLC, we provide emergency storm response services in Houston, including tarping, board-ups, and quick-response crews.

✅ 3. Contact Your Insurance Company — Then Contact Us

Don’t wait — call your insurance provider ASAP to open your claim. But here’s the secret most homeowners don’t know:

👉 You should also contact a contractor like Armantel right away — because insurance companies don’t always cover everything unless it’s documented correctly.

We know how to:

• Speak their language

• Write line-item repair estimates

• Work directly with your adjuster

💡 Bonus: We’ll help you understand your policy coverage and avoid lowball payouts.

✅ 4. Schedule a Free Inspection with a Licensed Contractor

Not all damage is visible.

A licensed Houston contractor will:

• Inspect your attic, roof decking, insulation, and structural frame

• Check for hidden water damage or electrical issues

• Prepare a detailed scope of work your insurer can’t ignore

At Armantel, we use a storm damage estimating system based on RSMeans pricing — so the insurance company can’t “guess” what the repairs cost. We give them the real numbers.
