AfterFast, Reliable Storm & Disaster Restoration Across Lafayette
Storm damage in Lafayette moves fast, and so do we. A torn-off roof section or blown-out window starts as an emergency and becomes a structural claim within hours if water gets behind the building envelope. Our storm and disaster restoration crews reach most Lafayette neighborhoods within 60 to 90 minutes of your call, and a live person answers (629) 213-4606 around the clock, every day. We know Lafayette’s housing stock, its hail patterns, and its older neighborhoods well enough to know what fails first when a supercell rolls through.
Why DryMark Restoration Is Lafayette’s Preferred Storm & Disaster Restoration Company
DryMark Restoration is led by Alicia Brennan, who built the company in 2011 around a problem she saw repeatedly while working as a claims adjuster: restoration invoices that insurers couldn’t verify because the documentation didn’t exist. That’s why every Lafayette job we do carries a written price before work starts, a photo record on every visit, and daily moisture logs that turn restoration work into payable claims. We work to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards because Lafayette homeowners deserve an invoice their adjuster can read without asking follow-up questions.
Local customers in Lafayette consistently tell us the same thing: the written scope they receive before we start is the reason they called us instead of a competitor. That’s Haven Standard, Clause 1, and it applies to every job, no exceptions. Our technicians arrive background-checked, uniformed, and named. They document what they find with moisture readings, affected square footage, and material classifications, then explain each in plain language. When you hire our Storm & Disaster Restoration team, you get a record you can hand directly to your adjuster.
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration Services in Lafayette
Emergency Board-Up
When wind throws a tree branch through a Lafayette living room window or a hailstorm shatters a sliding glass door on an Indian Peaks track home, the opening needs to be secured before rain or wildlife gets in. We board and secure broken openings the same day, using plywood cut to the opening and fastened to frame members, not drywall. Every board-up in Lafayette includes photos of the pre-existing condition and the completed securement, so your claim file starts clean. Emergency board-up in Lafayette typically runs $350 to $850, depending on the number of openings and whether second-story access is required.
Roof Tarping
Front Range Hail Alley doesn’t wait for adjusters to schedule inspections. If hail has punctured shingles on your Lafayette roof, water is already working into the decking. We tarp damaged roof sections within hours, sealing the perimeter with furring strips and cap nails so the tarp holds through the next wind event. In Lafayette, where summer storms arrive in waves, a properly secured tarp is the difference between a contained repair and full attic remediation. Roof tarping in Lafayette runs $450 to $1,200 for most single-family homes, with steeper pitches and multi-story access on the higher end.
Wind Damage Repair
Chinook-driven wind events in Lafayette regularly peel composition shingles, tear fascia, and lift roof decking at the eaves. Our crews repair wind-damaged roofing, siding, and trim, but we also do something most contractors skip: we moisture-map the wall and attic cavities behind the visible damage. A lifted shingle on an Old Town bungalow with balloon framing can channel water three rooms away before it shows on a ceiling. Wind damage repair in Lafayette typically ranges from $800 for isolated shingle replacement to $6,000+ for structural roof and sheathing repairs, and every job includes a written scope before work begins.
Debris Removal & Site Clearing
After a storm, Lafayette yards fill with broken branches, shattered glass, torn shingles, and sometimes pieces of neighboring structures. We clear the debris, separate it by material type for disposal, and photograph everything before it leaves your property. If the debris includes hazardous materials like broken glass embedded in soil or asbestos-containing materials from older Lafayette homes, we document that classification in writing. Debris removal in Lafayette commonly runs $500 to $1,800 depending on volume and material type.

We deploy professional-grade drying and restoration equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, XPOWER, B-Air, and Injectidry on Lafayette jobs, and our techs carry replacement parts for these systems so a failed pump or sensor doesn’t stall your drying schedule. If you already own Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers or XPOWER air movers for your Lafayette basement, we service them on site. Our documentation follows IICRC and RIA standards, which means the daily drying logs we produce on your Lafayette job meet the exact format most insurers expect to see before they approve line-item reimbursement.
Common Storm & Disaster Restoration Problems We See in Lafayette Homes
- Hidden hail damage on original OSB decking in Indian Peaks. Homes built in the 1990s and 2000s in Indian Peaks are entering their first major roof replacement cycle, and many still have original OSB sheathing under composition shingles. Hail strikes fracture that decking even when shingles look intact, and water then migrates into the attic for months before a ceiling stain appears.
- Moisture trapped behind horsehair plaster in Old Town bungalows. Lafayette’s 1890s through 1920s worker cottages used balloon framing and horsehair plaster, which hides water intrusion for years. A storm-damaged wall on an Old Town bungalow can look dry on the surface while Category 2 water sits trapped against the original brick chimney inside the wall cavity.
- Residual mold behind walls in Coal Creek flood zones. The September 2013 Front Range floods backed up Coal Creek and inundated finished basements along South Public Road and the Old Town corridor. Many of those basements were dried in place but never properly remediated. When we open those walls for storm repairs today, we routinely find mold colonies behind drywall that was never removed.
- Marshall Fire ember-fall contamination in eastside Lafayette. Homes on Lafayette’s east side took heavy smoke, ash, and ember-fall during the December 2021 Marshall Fire, which destroyed over 1,000 homes just south in Louisville and Superior. A lot of that contamination was never formally assessed. Acidic soot can corrode wiring and ductwork for years before anyone notices, and most homeowners assume the odor is the only problem.

FAQs - Storm & Disaster Restoration in Lafayette
How do I know if my Old Town Lafayette home’s foundation cracks are from storm damage or coal mine subsidence?
You don’t, without diagnostics. Lafayette sits atop a network of abandoned coal mine shafts from the late-1800s mining boom, and Old Town properties regularly experience active subsidence-related cracking and structural drift. Before we attribute any structural damage to storm, water, or settling, we check for mine movement indicators: stair-step cracking patterns, door frames out of square, and floor slope changes that predate the storm event. This diagnostic step is unique to Lafayette. In neighboring Boulder or Longmont, it doesn’t come up. If your Old Town foundation shows cracks after a storm, call (629) 213-4606 and we’ll document what we find, including whether mine movement rules in or out.
After a hailstorm in Indian Peaks, my ceiling shows a brown stain but no active drip. Is that an emergency?
Yes. A brown stain with no active drip means water already entered the attic or wall cavity and is now evaporating slowly into your living space. In Indian Peaks homes built with original OSB decking, a hail strike can fracture the sheathing and let water in weeks before the stain appears. By the time you see the stain, the damage is older than you think. We’ll cut an inspection opening, moisture-map the cavity, and document what we find with readings and photos. Call (629) 213-4606 and we’ll get someone out.
What does a wind mitigation inspection cover for my Lafayette home, and does it affect my insurance?
A wind mitigation inspection documents the features that reduce wind damage risk: roof-to-wall attachment method, roof decking thickness, opening protection ratings, and secondary water-resistive barrier presence. In Lafayette, where Front Range Hail Alley wind events are regular, insurers sometimes apply premium credits for documented wind-resistant construction. We provide the written inspection report and photos you can submit with your policy review. Call (629) 213-4606 to schedule.
Should I test for mold if my finished basement flooded during the 2013 Coal Creek event and was ‘dried’ back then?
Yes. The September 2013 Coal Creek flood backed up into finished basements along South Public Road and the Old Town corridor, and many were dried in place but never properly remediated. If you haven’t opened those walls since, assume hidden mold colonies are present behind the drywall. We run air sampling before and after opening walls, contain the work area, and document every reading. We see residual 2013 mold on a regular basis in Lafayette basements. Call (629) 213-4606 and we’ll test before we open anything up.
My eastside Lafayette home had heavy smoke and ash infiltration from the Marshall Fire. Is remediation different from water damage?
Yes, and it’s a mistake to treat it as a simple cleaning. Marshall Fire ember-fall and smoke infiltration on Lafayette’s east side deposited acidic soot that corrodes wiring, ductwork, and metal fixtures over time. Remediation requires air-quality testing, HEPA vacuuming of wall cavities, duct cleaning or replacement, and sealing of affected surfaces, not just wiping down walls. A significant share of eastside Lafayette homes never had this assessed after December 2021. If yours is one of them, call (629) 213-4606 and we’ll document what we find and scope the work in writing.
