Visit baccaro-roofing.com/financing for current options, or just mention it during your free inspection and Ronnie will walk through what fits. No pressure if cash works better for you — we won't push financing on anyone.

Baccaro Roofing GuideAlamo Roof Repair After This Week's Flood

June 16, 20266 min read

If you are searching for roof help in Alamo today, you have plenty of company. On Monday, June 15, the National Weather Service named both Alamo and North Alamo by name in its Flash Flood Warnings, alongside McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, and Pharr. If your ceiling is staining, your attic smells damp, or you saw water pooling where it never has before, this guide walks you through what just happened and what to do next.

The National Weather Service in Brownsville issued a Flood Watch for the entire RGV from Monday afternoon through midweek, and the Weather Prediction Center put most of the area under a Moderate risk of flash flooding on Monday, warning that numerous flash floods were likely. KRGV and the National Weather Service reported widespread totals of 3 to 6 inches, with isolated pockets of 8 inches or more, some forecasts of 5 to 10 inches, and rain rates over 2 inches per hour. There were roughly 3,733 power outages across the Valley on Monday evening, sandbag distribution was underway Valley-wide, and both nearby Weslaco and Progreso signed local disaster declarations.

Why Alamo got hit hard

Alamo is a smaller city tucked between San Juan and Donna, and that location does it no favors in a storm like this. A lot of the housing stock here is modest and older, which means aging decking, worn underlayment, and flashing that was never built to shrug off a 2-inch-per-hour downpour. Out toward the rural North Alamo area and the colonias, low-lying drainage makes it worse. That combination of older roofs and poor drainage is exactly why Alamo and North Alamo showed up by name in Monday's warning.

What heavy rain does to Alamo roofs

A storm like this stresses a roof in several ways at once. Here is what we look for:

Ponding on low-slope sections. On the flat additions and porches common to older Alamo homes, water that cannot drain pools and finds its way through seams, flashing, and any aged spot.
Backed-up valleys. The valleys where two roof planes meet carry the most water. Debris or a lifted shingle can dam the flow and push water sideways under the shingles.
Saturated decking. Once water gets past the surface, the wood decking underneath softens, sags, and can grow mold if it is not dried out.
Wind-blown shingles. Gusty winds lift or tear shingles, and even one missing tab gives the next downpour a direct path inside.
Ceiling stains and attic moisture. Brown rings, peeling paint, or a musty attic all mean water is already inside, and trapped attic moisture raises the risk of mold within days, not weeks.

On Alamo's older roofs these problems compound. A roof already near the end of its life does not need much from a storm this size to start leaking, and the damage underneath keeps working long after the rain stops.

What to do in the first 24 to 48 hours

The first two days matter most. A few calm steps now can keep a small problem from becoming a ceiling collapse or a mold project.

Stay safe first. Do not climb a wet roof, and keep away from any sagging ceiling or active electrical near water.
Contain the water inside. Put buckets and towels under active drips, and gently relieve a bulging ceiling from below into a bucket so it does not spread.
Document everything. Photograph stains, drips, and any debris or shingles in the yard, with time stamps. This record helps later whether the fix is maintenance or a claim.
Get a professional eye on it fast. If water is actively coming in, you want [emergency roof repair in Alamo](/areas/alamo/emergency-roof-repair) before the next round of rain arrives.
Schedule a real inspection. Even if the leak slows when the rain stops, the damage underneath does not. A free, no-obligation [Alamo roof repair](/areas/alamo/roof-repair) visit tells you exactly what you are dealing with.

The goal in these two days is simple: stop the water and get clear, documented answers about the roof.

Insurance claim versus maintenance

Not every leak is a claim, and not every claim is worth filing. Storm damage, like wind-lifted shingles, impact damage, or a sudden failure caused by this week's event, is often what homeowner policies are written for. Slow wear, clogged gutters, or a roof at the end of its life is usually maintenance. The honest answer often sits in between, which is why documentation matters so much.

Baccaro keeps it straightforward. We do a free damage assessment, document everything with photos, and meet your adjuster on-site so the same conditions are visible to everyone. We do not get between you and your insurance carrier; you stay in control of your own claim, and we focus on accurately showing what the storm did. Our [Alamo insurance claim](/areas/alamo/insurance-claim) page lays out the steps in plain language.

How Baccaro's free inspection and emergency response works

When you call Baccaro, we answer, we listen, and we get a real person out to your home. For active leaks, our emergency response focuses on stopping water now, which can include a proper tarp to buy you time until a full repair. For everything else, we schedule a thorough, no-obligation inspection: we check the shingles, flashing, valleys, vents, and the attic side when we can reach it, and we walk you through what we find with photos. Baccaro installs GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed product lines, so we match the right system to your home and your budget.

We are owner-operated by Ronnie Baccaro, with more than 5 years in business and over 500 completed projects across the RGV, and a 5.0-star rating across 20 Google reviews. Inspections are always free and no-obligation. You can reach us at (956) 600-0501, and we are based at 4305 N 10th St, McAllen TX 78504, an easy run up the road from Alamo.

Why a local owner-operated crew beats out-of-town storm chasers

After every major Valley storm, out-of-town crews roll in chasing quick work. They knock on doors across Alamo and North Alamo, push fast contracts, and are often gone by the time a problem shows up. A local crew is different. We live here, we answer the phone after the job, and our reputation is built one Valley neighborhood at a time. That matters most after a flood, when shortcuts hide easily under a fresh layer of shingles. With Baccaro, the same owner who quotes your job stands behind the work, so next season you are calling a neighbor, not a phone number from another state. And because we cover the whole mid-Valley, the same crew handles [McAllen roof repair](/areas/mcallen/roof-repair) just up the road.

Frequently asked questions

How soon should I get my Alamo roof inspected after this flood? As soon as it is safe. The first 24 to 48 hours are when you can catch active entry points and prevent attic moisture from turning into mold. Booking early also gives you documented evidence if you end up filing a claim.

Is my leak covered by insurance? It depends on the cause. Sudden storm damage is often covered, while slow wear is usually maintenance. Baccaro does a free assessment, documents it with photos, and meets your adjuster on-site. We never get between you and your insurance company.

Can you tarp my roof tonight if it is still leaking? We focus on stopping active water fast, which can include a proper tarp to protect your home until a full repair is possible. Call (956) 600-0501 and we will walk you through next steps. You can also read our guide on an [emergency roof tarp](/blog/emergency-roof-tarp-mcallen).

Do you serve North Alamo and the colonias too? Yes. We cover Alamo, North Alamo, and the surrounding rural areas, where low-lying drainage makes flood damage especially common. Inspections are always free and no-obligation across our whole service area.
