What We Do
Storm Damage Cleanup in East Texas
Storm damage cleanup in East Texas ranges from wind and hail damage with roof breaches to severe flooding events that introduce Category 3 water throughout a structure. Cantt Restoration responds immediately to emergency stabilization, follows ANSI/IICRC S500 protocols for all water categories, and coordinates contents restoration simultaneously with structural mitigation.
Emergency Tarping and Board-Up
Wind and hail events that breach roofs, walls, or windows require immediate emergency tarping and board-up to prevent continued weather intrusion and secondary water damage. We respond 24/7.
Floodwater Extraction
We deploy truck-mounted and portable extraction equipment for Category 3 floodwater removal following appropriate protocols for contaminated water. Licensed waste disposal is coordinated for contaminated water disposal.
Structural Drying
After extraction and decontamination, we apply ANSI/IICRC S500 structural drying protocols with daily monitoring and calibrated moisture readings from the Extech MO290-RK contractor kit.
Debris Removal
Storm debris, including fallen trees, building materials, and contaminated contents, is removed and disposed of appropriately. We coordinate dumpster placement and debris hauling as part of the mitigation process.
Moisture Mapping
We use FLIR thermal imaging to identify the full extent of moisture migration through walls, flooring, and structural assemblies after storm water intrusion.
Contents Pack-Out and Restoration
Storm-affected contents are inventoried, packed out, and processed. See our contents restoration page for the full process. Contents are stored at our climate-controlled facility during the mitigation and drying process.
Storm damage does not wait. Neither do we.

East Texas Storm Response
What Types of Storm Damage Does East Texas See?
East Texas is subject to a range of severe weather events: tornadic wind events that breach structures, straight-line wind events with widespread roof damage, hail events that puncture roofing and windows, and flooding events associated with heavy rainfall in low-lying areas. The Wills Point and Kaufman County corridor has seen significant severe weather activity in recent years. Harrison County and the Gregg County area experience regular severe thunderstorm events.
The FEMA flood maps for East Texas identify significant flood zones in areas adjacent to the Sabine River, Big Cypress Creek, and their tributaries. Structures in these zones face elevated risk of Category 3 water intrusion during major storm events.
Industry best practice is to call a mitigation professional immediately after any storm event that breaches your structure. Do what you safely can to limit further damage while you wait. If you do not feel safe, do not go back in. Call us first and we will walk you through it.

Questions
Storm Damage Cleanup: Frequently Asked Questions
Is floodwater from storms safe to wade through?
No. Floodwater from storms is Category 3 water under ANSI/IICRC S500, containing biological contamination, sewage, chemicals, and debris. Do not wade through floodwater without appropriate protective equipment. Restrict access and call us at (903) 251-9525.
What should I do first after storm damage to my East Texas home?
Ensure personal safety first. If floodwater is present, do not re-enter until it recedes and structural safety is confirmed. Document with video and photographs before touching anything. Call Cantt Restoration at (903) 251-9525 for 24/7 emergency response. Do not attempt to extract floodwater with household equipment.
Does storm damage cause mold?
Yes, if not mitigated quickly. Storm water intrusion that is not professionally extracted and dried creates conditions for rapid mold growth in East Texas's warm, humid climate. Category 3 water losses present both immediate contamination concerns and secondary mold risk. See our mold remediation page.
