Storm Damage Restoration in Placentia, CA
Storms let water in through damaged roofs, broken windows and torn siding. Once inside, it soaks carpet, runs into walls and drips through ceilings.
Storm damage restoration is available in Placentia and nearby Yorba Linda, Brea and Anaheim. The pros handle board-up, tarping, water extraction and drying after storms of any size.
What Storm Damage Restoration Covers in Placentia
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
When high winds drive rain into a home, water often runs down inside exterior walls. Meters find it, and drywall is opened where needed to dry it.
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
Water that gets behind siding or stucco can soak insulation and the back of the drywall. The pros find it with meters and dry the cavity.
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.
Storm Damage Water Extraction
Storm water that came in from outside may carry dirt and debris, so floors are cleaned as well as extracted before drying begins.
Emergency Roof Tarping
Tarping keeps the attic and ceilings from getting wet again during the storms that often follow the first one.
When Storm Damage Needs Professional Cleanup
Musty Smell After Heavy Rain
A damp smell that was not there before the storm usually means wet insulation, carpet pad or wall cavities.
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.
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.
Dented Vents and Skylights
Hail dents on roof vents, skylight frames or flashing can leave gaps where water gets in during the next storm.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in Placentia
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.
Common Causes of Storm Damage in Placentia
Flash Flooding
Sudden heavy rain can send water across yards and under doors faster than drains and gutters can carry it away.
Roof Damage From Wind
High winds lift and tear shingles and flashing, exposing the roof deck to rain that soaks into the attic.
Wind-Driven Rain
Strong winds push rain sideways into window frames, vents and siding joints that keep out normal rain.
Fallen Trees and Limbs
Branches and trees that fall on a house can open the roof or break windows, letting rain straight in.
