The Storms That Damage Prince George's and Howard Counties Properties
Tornadoes and wind damage
The National Weather Service has confirmed tornadoes in Bowie in 2022, from Clarksville to Columbia in 2019 and in Glenelg in 2019. Wind lifts shingles and drops limbs and trees on roofs, and we tarp and board up the same day to keep rain out.
Severe thunderstorms
Summer thunderstorms can bring damaging gusts, hail and lightning. Roof coverings, siding and windows are secured first, and water that got inside is extracted before it reaches walls and flooring.
Heavy rain and flash flooding
Slow-moving storms can flood small streams and fill basements and ground floors quickly. Fast water extraction and drying limit the spread to walls and flooring.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Missing or lifted shingles, or a tree limb on the roof
- Water stains on ceilings after wind-driven rain
- Broken windows, doors, or siding
- Water in the basement or crawl space after a flash flood
- Ice-laden limbs or trees down on the roof after an ice storm
- A musty smell in the attic in the weeks after a storm
Stay away from downed power lines and do not enter a flooded basement until the power is off. If it is safe, cover openings and move valuables away from leaks, take photos of the damage, and call (240) 922-6829 so we can tarp, board up, and start drying.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how the storm got in: through the roof, through broken openings, or through the basement. Wind and hail damage often lets water into attics and wall cavities, where it spreads before stains appear. We inspect the whole path of the water and document it for your adjuster.
Tarping and board-up happen the same day. Drying usually takes 3 to 5 days, and repairs follow, with timing that depends on roofing and material availability after widespread storms.
What We Restore After a Storm
- Roofs and attics after wind and hail
- Ceilings and drywall after wind-driven rain
- Basements and crawl spaces after flash floods
- Windows, doors, and siding
- Roofs and ceilings after tornadoes and fallen trees
- Garages and outbuildings
- Contents and furniture
- Commercial roofs and storefronts
