What Storm Damage Restoration Covers in 98464
Emergency Roof Tarping
When wind or a fallen branch opens the roof, a tarp is fastened over the damage as a stopgap until a roofer makes the repair.
Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
After a hailstorm, leaks may not show for days. Ceiling stains and wet insulation are checked and dried, and the damaged spots are noted for the roofer.
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
When siding is torn or cracked in a storm, rain gets into the wall. The inside is dried while the outside is covered until it can be repaired.
Emergency Board Up Services
Plywood is fastened over broken glass and damaged doors right after the storm. It stays until the window or door can be replaced.
Debris Removal After Storm
Storm debris inside a home is bagged and removed first. Floors and walls under it are then cleaned and checked for moisture.
How to Tell a Storm Let Water Inside
Dented Vents and Skylights
Hail dents on roof vents, skylight frames or flashing can leave gaps where water gets in during the next storm.
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.
Water in the Basement
Water on the basement floor or seeping through walls after heavy rain means storm runoff found its way inside.
Missing or Lifted Shingles
Shingles on the lawn or lifted at the edges after a storm mean the roof deck is exposed to the next rain.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 98464
Step 1: Emergency Roof Tarping
Openings in the roof from wind or hail are tarped so the attic and ceilings stop taking on water.
Step 2: Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
Water in the attic is removed, wet insulation is pulled and ceilings below are checked for trapped water.
Step 3: Clean Surfaces
Floors and lower walls touched by outside water are cleaned and treated before drying to limit odor and contamination.
Step 4: Structural Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers dry the attic, walls and floors, with readings taken each day until the targets are met.
How Storms Let Water Into 98464 Homes
Wind-Driven Rain
Strong winds push rain sideways into window frames, vents and siding joints that keep out normal rain.
Storm Runoff Into Basements
Heavy rain can raise the water around a house and push it through window wells, cracks and floor drains.
Flying Debris
Outdoor furniture, signs and branches carried by wind can break glass and doors and let rain into the home.
Flash Flooding
Sudden heavy rain can send water across yards and under doors faster than drains and gutters can carry it away.
Home and Business Storm Damage Cleanup in 98464
Residential Storm Damage Restoration
When a storm opens a roof, water can reach the attic, the ceiling and the rooms below. The pros dry each level and point out wood that looks soft for the roofer.

What You Can Do Safely After a Storm in 98464
Do not climb onto a wet or damaged roof. Tarping should be done by someone with the right gear and anchors once the storm has passed.
Storm Damage Restoration Cost in 98464, WA
The cost of storm damage restoration in Tacoma depends on how many rooms got wet, whether the roof or windows need covering and how long drying takes.
Timing of the Work
Work during or right after a storm, at night or on a weekend, can carry a higher rate than scheduled work.
Basement Flooding
Pumping out a flooded basement and removing wet finishes adds equipment and labor to the job.
Water Source
