Spring storms roll through the Ark-La-Tex with damaging wind, hail and heavy rain. Homes in Haughton, Greenwood and Keithville take the brunt when roofs and windows fail and water follows.
Before the Storm
- Clear gutters and downspouts so water drains away from the foundation
- Trim limbs that could puncture the roof
- Check roof flashing and window seals for gaps
- Know who to call for storm damage cleanup before you need them
After Storm Water Gets In
Wind-driven rain and roof breaches soak insulation and ceilings fast. Rapid emergency water removal followed by structural drying and dehumidification stops the secondary mold that Louisiana humidity guarantees. For lingering damp, our mold prevention service keeps it from taking hold.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is storm water damage covered by insurance? Wind-driven rain entering through storm-created openings is usually covered; document the breach and interior damage together.
How soon should I call after a storm? Same day. Water spreads through ceilings and walls in Greenwood-area homes within hours.
How Storm Water Actually Enters
It is rarely a dramatic hole. In Greenwood and Keithville homes, storm water usually finds lifted shingles, failed roof flashing, clogged gutters that overflow back under the eaves, and window seals that wind-driven rain forces past. Once inside the attic or wall cavity it spreads along the path of least resistance, often surfacing as a ceiling stain rooms away from the actual entry point. That is why chasing the stain instead of the source leaves damage behind.
The Cost of Waiting
Wet insulation loses its R-value and does not recover; soaked drywall sags and must be replaced; and Louisiana humidity turns a damp attic into a mold farm within days. Prompt storm damage cleanup plus structural drying costs a fraction of the rebuild that follows a storm ignored for a week.
