Storm Damage Restoration & Repair in University Place, WA

Immediate protection

Storm damage rarely stops when the wind does. A missing shingle or an open window keeps letting water in with every rain band that follows, so temporary protection comes first: heavy-duty roof tarps, board-ups over broken windows and doors, and shoring where framing has been damaged.

Wind and water arrive together

Most storm losses are two problems at once. Rain driven through roof edges and siding tracks down inside walls and ceilings, which means the visible ceiling stain is usually the end of a longer path. We trace the leak back to its entry point with moisture mapping and dry the full extent, not just the patch that shows.

Frozen and burst pipes

A Pacific Northwest cold snap splits exposed supply lines in crawlspaces, garages and exterior walls. When a freeze is involved, we locate the failed line, stop the water and dry quickly, checking the adjoining rooms as well, because water under a floor travels farther than most homeowners expect.

Storm claims and coverage

Wind, rain and frozen-pipe damage is generally covered by homeowners policies, while rising flood water usually requires separate flood coverage. We document the failure point and the damaged areas with photos and moisture readings, so your adjuster can tell the two apart on the claim.
