Storm damage rarely stops at one problem. Gusts can strip flashing, crack skylights and push trees into the house, and every opening lets rain into the attic, walls and ceilings. Power outages make it worse when sump pumps stop and basements start to fill.
Before drying can start, the building has to be closed up again. That usually means tarping the roof, boarding broken windows and clearing debris that is pressing on the house. Then the water damage inside can be extracted, opened up and dried, so hidden moisture does not turn into mold later.
When you call (360) 564-7118, the line connects you with a local storm restoration provider that covers Washougal. Be ready to tell the provider what was hit and whether the building is still open to the weather, and the visit, the estimate and the work are handled with you directly.
Storm Damage Restoration is often paired with roof leak water damage and flood restoration, depending on how far the water traveled.

Call nowThe process
What storm damage restoration looks like
No two storm losses look alike, though crews tend to work in this sequence.
Assess the hazards
Hazards come first: live wires, trees still under tension and ceilings heavy with water. Utility problems are left to the utility.
Secure the building
Openings in the roof, walls and windows are covered, which is often the most important step in limiting the total loss.
Extraction and tear-out
Standing water is extracted, and soaked insulation, drywall and ceiling panels are removed where needed, so the framing behind them is exposed to air.
Drying and dehumidification
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the attic, walls and floors, and the crew tracks readings until materials test dry.
Debris removal and rebuild planning
Debris is hauled off and damaged areas are cleaned, then the repair scope for roofing, drywall and finishes is laid out.
What is included
What storm damage restoration can include
Roof tarping
Damaged roof areas are covered with secured tarps to keep rain out until permanent repairs.
Debris cleanup
Limbs and debris resting on the structure are cleared where safe, with large trees sometimes handed off to a tree service.
Window and wall board-up
Openings are boarded to keep out weather and intruders.
Damage documentation
The provider notes the damage, the steps taken and the moisture readings, which is useful when you talk to your insurer.

Storm Damage Restoration near Washougal
Storms in Washington tend to arrive in waves through fall and winter, with gusty wind storms, long soaking rains and cold snaps that load trees with ice. Homes with mature trees nearby and aging roofs see a lot of this damage. Property owners in Washougal and nearby towns, including Camas, Fern Prairie, Orchards and Hockinson, can use the same number to reach storm cleanup providers, so the structure is secured before the next system moves in.
Why water damage is common around Washougal
Long, wet seasons and atmospheric river storms saturate the ground and push water into basements and crawl spaces, while cold snaps can still split pipes in exterior walls, garages and crawl spaces. Older houses over crawl spaces are especially prone to hidden moisture, which tends to show up later as soft floors, odor or mold.

Clear next steps
Ask the provider your questions before you agree to anything.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage?
Wind damage and a tree falling on the house are often covered, while rising floodwater usually is not. Outside flooding usually requires flood insurance. Check your policy and your deductible, and ask the provider what documentation they keep.
Is it okay to wait a few days?
Covering the openings is the urgent part. Each new band of rain adds more water to the attic, walls and insulation, and insurers often expect you to limit further loss. Permanent repairs can be scheduled once the building is secure.
What are the first steps after storm damage?
Start with safety. Avoid fallen wires, stay off the roof and keep out of rooms with sagging ceilings. Where you safely can, move belongings out of the wet area and catch drips. Keep notes on the damage and save any receipts for emergency supplies.
Can the crew remove a tree from my roof?
Smaller limbs and debris are often cleared by the restoration crew. Big trees, especially near wires, are usually a job for an arborist or the power company. The provider can tell you what they can handle and who to call for the rest.
Who actually does the storm cleanup?
This site does not do the work. Calling (360) 564-7118 links you with an independent storm restoration provider serving Washougal, and that company manages the visit, the estimate and the repairs with you.
