Puget Sound storms rarely look like the ones on the news. A long wind-driven rain event pushes water through a window assembly for six hours, an ice dam backs meltwater under shingles, a clogged window well fills and pours through a frame. The damage is real, and it is usually hidden behind paint that still looks fine.
We work during the storm rather than after it. Tarping and board-up stop the building taking more water, thermal imaging finds every cavity the intrusion reached, and drying starts the same day, before every crew in the county is booked for a fortnight.

Basement took on water during the November storms. They pumped it, set up drying, and came back every day for a week including Thanksgiving morning. I did not expect that on a holiday.

Appreciate the review. Water never stays where it lands, so mapping the whole path matters more than the room you can see. If a neighbour ends up with the same problem, we are only a few minutes away.

Window well drain clogged and water poured into the basement during the November rain. They re-drained the well, dried the framing and reset the window. No repeat this year.

They came back a week after finishing to check the work at no charge. Found nothing wrong and still came, which is more than I can say for our roofer.

Burst pipe behind a bathroom wall. They opened two square feet of drywall, dried the cavity and the framing, and patched it so well the paint match is invisible.

Thank you. Extraction gets the water you can see; the drying is what saves the floor. Call any hour if something changes — someone always answers.

Siding came off in a squall and the wall behind it got soaked. They dried the sheathing, repaired the wall and replaced the siding. Two neighbours used them after watching our job.

Our condo lost a supply line in the unit above us. Their crew dealt with the building manager, the HOA and our insurer in the same week, which is more than our own strata did.

A Douglas fir limb came through the roof over the living room. They tarped it that night in the rain, cleared the debris, and dried the ceiling before the rebuild. Zero water damage on top of the tree damage.

October storm put four inches of muddy water in our finished basement. They pumped, extracted, removed the contaminated drywall and rebuilt. Fifteen days from the flood to the furniture back in place.

What sold me was the readings. Every visit they showed me the meter against the dry wall in the hall so I could see the number coming down. Nobody else who quoted us offered to do that.

Thanks for the trust. We would rather open a small section and be certain than guess behind a wall. Credit goes to the whole crew on that one, and I will tell them.

A supply line let go under the kitchen sink at eleven at night. The tech walked in twenty-six minutes after I hung up, shut the water off and had extraction running before midnight. Five days later the floor read dry against the room next door.

They arrived, introduced themselves by name, put shoe covers on without being asked and explained what each machine was doing. That sounds small until you have had a crew in your house who did none of it.

Do not wait for a stain
Signs you need storm & flood damage now
Damp patches after rain
A wall or ceiling that gets damp only in weather is an active envelope failure.
Ice dam staining
Brown rings near an exterior wall in winter mean meltwater is backing under the roof covering.
Water in a window well
A failed or clogged well drain channels straight into a basement frame.
Lifted shingles or missing siding
Every missing piece is an opening for the next band of rain.
Water at a foundation wall
Grading and downspouts usually cause it, and both are cheap to correct.
Free inspection · written scope
What we check before we quote a number
- 1
Weather-tight first
Tarps, board-up and temporary sealing stop the loss growing while the storm is still active.
- 2
Intrusion mapping
Thermal scans trace wind-driven rain to every wet cavity, not just the visible room.
- 3
Cavity drying
Wall and ceiling cavities get directed airflow; wet insulation is removed and replaced.
- 4
Envelope repair scope
Flashing, roofing, siding and windows are written into the scope so the entry point is fixed.
Real Puget Sound ranges
What it costs
Window or skylight intrusion
$1,800 – $4,500
Cavity drying plus interior repair and exterior re-sealing.
Roof tarp and ceiling drying
$1,500 – $6,000
Depends on the roof area and how far water travelled.
Groundwater in a basement
$3,500 – $10,000
Category 3 handling plus drainage corrections.
Wind damage with siding loss
$4,000 – $14,000
Envelope repair and rebuild of the wet wall sections.
Ranges are what these jobs actually invoice at in King, Snohomish, Pierce and Skagit counties. On a covered claim the carrier pays the scope and you pay your deductible.
What happens, and when
How long it takes
Tarp, board-up, seal
Same night where possible
Intrusion mapping
Within 24 hours
Structural drying
3 – 6 days
Envelope and interior repair
1 – 3 weeks
Drying is measured, not guessed. We do not remove equipment until the readings match a dry reference material in an unaffected room — even when that means an extra day.
The technical part
Wind-driven rain is not a roof leak
A roof leak stains a ceiling directly below the roof. Wind-driven rain enters horizontally: through a window frame, a vent, a poorly flashed wall penetration or a dryer vent, then runs inside the wall until it finds a floor or ceiling to show on. The visible stain can be two rooms away from the actual opening, which is why guessing at the entry point wastes weeks.
A thermal scan on a cold morning finds the wet assembly in minutes because evaporating moisture cools the surface it is leaving. That is the difference between drying a wall once and opening the same wall three times.
The technical part
After the storm: what to fix so it does not repeat
The interior repair is the visible half of the job. The valuable half is correcting the entry: re-flashing the window head, clearing and re-draining a window well, extending downspouts six feet from the foundation, re-grading soil away from a wall, or replacing a failed ice-and-water shield under the shingles.
Without that step the same wall will be wet again next November, and the second loss is the one a carrier may decline as a maintenance issue. We write those corrections into the scope and photograph them, because they are what protects the repair.

Straight answers
Storm & Flood Damage: the questions we answer most
If your question is not here, call and ask it. A live dispatcher answers, not a form.
My neighbour’s tree hit my roof — who pays?
Usually your own policy treats the damage as a storm loss regardless of whose tree it was. We document the cause and let the carriers sort out recovery.
Is groundwater flooding covered?
Often not without a separate flood policy. Water that entered through a wind-damaged opening is treated differently from water that rose from the ground, and the documentation matters.
Can you tarp a roof in the rain?
Yes. Crews tarp in active weather using reinforced tarps and weighted anchoring, which is why we keep tarps on every van during storm season.
How quickly can you start?
We dispatch during the event. Storm days are our busiest, so calling early in the event rather than after the rain stops usually means same-day drying.
It does not matter what time it is
Call. A truck starts moving before you hang up.
One phone call reaches a live Puget Sound dispatcher, any hour of any day of the year. We log the loss, stage the crew, and stay on the line while you shut the water off. Thirty minutes later somebody is at your door with equipment.
