We pull the standing water, then run air movers and low-grain dehumidifiers to a verified dry standard.

4

Verify & bill

We log readings until the structure is dry, document the loss, and bill your carrier directly.

Inland Northwest windstorms drive rain sideways and drop limbs on roofs, and the water is often inside before the wind lets up. A punctured roof or a blown-out window can soak ceilings, walls, and floors in a single storm. We reach Spokane and the nearby towns in 30 to 60 minutes to extract the water and start drying.

How a storm puts water in your home

Storm water finds the weak points in the building the moment the wind picks up. The federal flood and storm safety guide is a useful reminder that even a short, violent storm can move a lot of water inside.

  • Wind-driven rain forced past window seals, door thresholds, and siding
  • A downed limb punching through the roof deck and letting rain into the attic
  • Torn shingles and lifted flashing that open the roof mid-storm
  • Gutters overwhelmed by a downpour, spilling straight against the foundation

The Spokane storms that cause it

The National Weather Service Spokane office tracks the windstorms and thunderstorms that hit the region hardest, from the big autumn wind events to fast summer cells.

  • Autumn and spring windstorms with gusts strong enough to snap limbs onto roofs
  • Summer thunderstorms that dump heavy rain in minutes
  • Hail and flying debris that crack skylights and lift shingles
  • Tall, aging trees in older neighborhoods like West Central and Emerson-Garfield

This is not the same as a winter ice dam, where trapped meltwater backs up under the shingles, and it is different from spring snowmelt runoff off the yard.

Our storm water cleanup

Once the intrusion is stopped, the work is fast extraction and a controlled dry-out, plus the board-up so the next band of rain stays out.

  • Emergency extraction of standing water from floors, ceilings, and wall bases
  • Structural drying of drywall, insulation, and framing with daily meter readings
  • Tarping and board-up coordination with licensed Washington contractors
  • Antimicrobial treatment where storm water sat against porous material

If the storm water ran down into a finished basement, we treat that as basement flooding as well. We document the loss and bill your carrier directly where the policy allows.

Storm water spreads fast once it is inside. Call now and a Spokane crew is on the way.

A big fall windstorm dropped a branch through our roof and rain was pouring into the upstairs before we knew it. They were out to West Central within the hour, tarped the roof, and had the water out and dryers going that evening. They handled the insurance paperwork so I did not have to fight it. I would call them again in a heartbeat.

Answers

Storm Water Damage Restoration questions, answered

How does storm water get into my Spokane home?
Windstorms force rain past window and door seals, tear shingles, and lift flashing, while downed limbs can punch straight through the roof. Overwhelmed gutters spill against the foundation. All of it can put water inside in a single storm.
Do you tarp or board up the roof, or just clean the water?
Both. We coordinate tarping and board-up with licensed Washington contractors to close the opening, then extract the water and dry the structure. That keeps the next band of rain from making it worse.
How is this different from an ice dam or a snowmelt problem?
Storm water is wind-driven rain and roof damage during a storm. An ice dam is winter meltwater backing up under the shingles, and snowmelt runoff is seasonal water off the yard. We treat each with its own approach.
How fast can you respond after a storm?
Our crews aim to be on-site within 30 to 60 minutes across Spokane and Spokane County, day or night. Storms often knock out several homes at once, so calling (509) 236-9148 early gets you in the queue and stops the spread sooner.
Will storm water in the walls cause mold?
It can if it is left wet. Rain that soaks insulation and drywall stays damp inside the cavity long enough for mold to start, so we open, dry, and meter the structure rather than trusting a dry surface.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm water damage?
Sudden storm damage, like a limb through the roof, is usually covered, while long-standing wear is often not. We document the cause and the moisture readings, write the scope your adjuster expects, and bill directly where the loss is covered.
The storm water reached my basement. Can you handle that too?
Yes. When storm water runs down into a finished basement we treat it as a basement flooding job, extracting the standing water and drying the walls and subfloor before mold sets in.
