Wall Cavity Drying After Storms

Broken windows and doors are covered with plywood so rain and wind stop coming in and the home is secure while drying runs.
Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
Hail can crack shingles, skylights and vent caps, and the next rain finds those cracks. The pros dry the attic and ceilings where the water got in.
Emergency Roof Tarping

Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration
Bubbling Paint on Exterior Walls
Paint that bubbles on the inside of an exterior wall after a storm points to water that got behind the siding.
Ceiling Stains After a Storm
New brown rings or damp spots on the ceiling after high wind or hail mean water is getting through the roof.
Mud or Debris Indoors
Mud, leaves or glass inside the house mean storm water came in from outside and floors need cleaning as well as drying.
Dripping From Light Fixtures
Water coming through a light or fan means it has pooled above the ceiling. Turn off that circuit and keep people clear.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 98087
Step 1: Safety Check
Power to wet areas is shut off and damaged ceilings or broken glass are marked so no one gets hurt during the work.
Step 2: Extract the Water
Standing water is pulled from floors and carpet, and water above ceilings is drained so it does not keep dripping.
Step 3: Wind-Driven Rain Drying
Exterior walls that took wind-driven rain are checked with meters and opened where needed so the cavities can dry.
Step 4: Final Readings
When walls, floors and framing read dry, equipment is removed and repairs to the roof, windows and drywall can go ahead.
What Causes Water Damage After Storms in 98087?
Overflowing Gutters
Heavy rain can overflow clogged or undersized gutters, sending water down walls and toward the foundation.
Hail Impact

Flash Flooding
