On July 15, 2024, an EF1 tornado with estimated peak winds of 100 to 105 mph moved southeast through Urbandale, Windsor Heights and into Des Moines, causing extensive tree damage and damage to homes and power lines, according to the National Weather Service in Des Moines.
After wind or tree damage, photograph the damage, stay clear of downed power lines, and call for a tarp and board-up so more rain stays out. Wet insulation and ceiling drywall hold water against framing, so they are removed and the cavity is dried before mold has time to grow.
How We Handle Losses in Windsor Heights
A fallen limb or torn shingles do not always look serious from the street, but rain can run along the decking into attics and down inside walls. Water often shows up as a ceiling stain days later, so a dry-out check after any storm is worthwhile.
Mold usually follows water in Windsor Heights homes. A basement that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a humid summer 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 firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Windsor Heights usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain or ice dams. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
