Spring Storm & Flood Preparation for Central Texas Homes
Central Texas spring storm season is short, intense, and destructive. The Brazos, Leon, and Lampasas rivers swell fast. Hail cracks roofs. Wind drives rain through window frames. Moisture Pro stays staffed through every severe-weather event from March through May.
What spring storms do to Central Texas homes
Hail damage to roofing creates leaks that don't surface for 48–72 hours — by the time a homeowner notices, attic insulation is already saturated.
Flash flooding overwhelms storm drains in Woodway, Temple, and Georgetown suburbs. Creek-line properties in Waco see rising water from the Brazos watershed.
Wind-driven rain gets through window seals and garage door gaskets even without structural damage.
Pre-season checklist
Clear gutters and downspouts. Trim tree limbs near the roof. Photograph your home exterior and contents for your claim file. Review your homeowner's policy — flood (rising surface water) requires a separate NFIP policy.
If your home takes storm damage
Document everything with photos before cleanup. Place buckets under active drips. Puncture bulging ceiling paint to release water safely. Call for emergency tarp-and-board-up within hours of the storm passing.
