Storm water rarely stays where it enters. It runs along rafters, soaks attic insulation and drips behind drywall, so a small stain can mean a large wet area. Wake County's hazard plan names hurricanes, floods, severe thunderstorms and tornadoes among the county's hazards, and each one tests roofs and walls differently.
What storms do to a house
Rain finds the weak points.
- Wind lifts shingles and flashing
- Gutters overflow against siding
- Window frames let water in at the corners
- Attic vents carry rain onto insulation
The Town assessed damage to homes and businesses after the storms of April 16, 2011, a reminder that severe weather reaches the area.

Report storm water nowDrying what the storm soaked
Extraction comes first, followed by removal of insulation and drywall that cannot dry in place. Air movers and dehumidifiers then work through the attic, walls and floors while meters track progress.
- Wet insulation is bagged and removed
- Ceilings that sag are cut open
- Floors are extracted and dried
- Readings are logged each visit
A temporary tarp from a roofer keeps more rain out while the work goes on, and water that rose from the ground follows flood water cleanup.
Rough numbers before anyone visits
The cost calculator and the drying time estimator give typical ranges for a loss like this one. The walkthrough and the moisture map set the real scope.
Coordinating with the roof repair
Drying and roofing happen side by side. The roof leak work covers how wet attic materials are handled before the roof is fixed.

Storm and Hurricane Rain Damage questions
Water still showing up?
Water inside after the storm? Describe the ceilings and floors and the crew will outline the drying work.
(888) 578-4720 Report storm water nowWhere should the search for storm water begin?
Ceilings, attic insulation, window corners and the base of exterior walls. Water often shows far from the opening that let it in.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm water?
Wind and rain that enter through a storm-opened roof are often covered, while seepage over time may not be. The policy and adjuster decide.
Can a tarp stop further damage?
A roofer's tarp keeps new rain out of an opened roof, but the water already inside still has to be extracted and dried.
Why is the attic part of the drying plan?
Insulation holds water like a sponge and lets it drip into ceilings below, so wet attic material is removed before it can keep feeding the damage.
What happens to wet furniture and belongings?
Items that can dry are moved to a dry room, while soft goods that soaked up dirty water are usually discarded after being photographed.
How is the work scheduled around more storms?
Equipment keeps running through more weather, and readings are rechecked after later rain.
Storm water keeps soaking in once it is inside
Photograph the damage, cover the opening if it is safe, and call. The crew will explain extraction and drying.
