The National Hurricane Center's report on Hurricane Ike put the deepest inundation on the bay side of Galveston Island. The seawall protected much of the city from direct surge and waves off the Gulf, but water still rose on the north side of the island from Galveston Bay.
Saltwater and bay water carry sewage, fuel and debris, so soaked drywall, insulation and flooring generally need to be removed, the structure cleaned and disinfected, and everything dried with commercial equipment. Wind matters too: the National Weather Service reported an EF-1 tornado crossing the island near Jamaica Beach during Hurricane Beryl in July 2024. Tarp openings in the roof if it is safe, and call us before moisture reaches framing.
How We Handle Losses in Galveston
Galveston buildings can take on water from the Gulf side, the bay side and the sky. Surge and bay flooding, tropical wind damage, and humidity that lingers after any wetting are the hazards we prepare for, from Jamaica Beach to the Port of Galveston.
Mold usually follows water in Galveston homes. A slow leak inside a wall, an air conditioning drain line that backs up, or a room that stays damp through a humid season can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove the water used to put the fire out, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Galveston usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
