Houston Property Damage Attorney
In Houston, when it rains, it pours and sometimes it floods, hails, or blows half your roof into the neighbor’s yard. Property damage here is as common as a summer thunderstorm. When it happens, you do not need a lawyer who plays nice with the insurance company. You need a local advocate who knows how Houston works and who will fight to protect your property and your rights.

Protecting What’s Yours in Houston
Houston’s unpredictable weather, booming construction, and aging infrastructure make property damage a regular concern for homeowners and business owners alike. From the high-rises of Downtown to the neighborhoods of The Heights and Katy, property owners face everything from flooding and storm damage to plumbing disasters and roof issues.
At Cernitz Law, we help Houston property owners navigate the claims process with legal strategies built for Texas-sized problems. We know how to handle stubborn insurance companies and make sure you are not left paying for damage you did not cause. When your property takes a hit, we step in and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Common Property Damage Issues We Handle in Houston
Storm and Wind Damage Claims
Hurricanes, hail, and straight-line winds are part of life in Houston. And when your property takes a beating, we make sure you are not left battling the insurance company alone.
Water and Plumbing Damage Claims
Houston’s flooding problems are no secret. From broken pipes to street-level flooding, water damage can hit fast and hard. We help property owners make sure their claims reflect the real cost of repairs.
Roof and Mold Damage Claims
With Houston’s heat, humidity, and storm season, roof leaks and mold growth are a constant threat. We help you address these issues and fight for fair compensation before small problems become expensive ones.
How to Protect Your Property Before Damage Happens
Houston’s weather does not wait for a convenient time to cause problems, so preventative maintenance is your best defense. Check your roof before storm season, inspect plumbing regularly, and document your property’s condition with photos and receipts. Staying proactive protects your investment and strengthens your claim when damage strikes.
And if it does? Having a property damage attorney in your corner means you do not have to go toe to toe with the insurance company on your own.
