Storm Water Removal and Drying in 98599
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.
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.
Storm Flooded Basement Cleanup
Storm water that floods a basement is pumped out, wet carpet and drywall are removed and the slab and walls are cleaned and dried.
Debris Removal After Storm
Wet debris left in a room keeps the space damp. Clearing it is the first step before the pros extract water and set up drying.
Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
Water that gets in through hail damage is removed from the attic, wet insulation is pulled and the ceiling below is dried.
How to Tell a Storm Let Water 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.
Mud or Debris Indoors
Mud, leaves or glass inside the house mean storm water came in from outside and floors need cleaning as well as drying.
Wet Attic Insulation
Damp or matted insulation in the attic after a storm means rain is getting past the roof deck.
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.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 98599
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.
Where Storm Water Gets Into a House
Storm Runoff Into Basements
Heavy rain can raise the water around a house and push it through window wells, cracks and floor drains.
Power Outages
Storms that knock out power stop pumps and dehumidifiers, so water that gets in stays longer than it otherwise would.
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.

Storm Damage Restoration vs. DIY: When to Call Local Pros
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.
Pricing Storm Damage Cleanup in 98599
In Olympia, the biggest cost drivers after a storm are the number of wet rooms, soaked insulation and drywall, and after-hours work during the storm.
Board-Up and Tarping
Covering broken windows, doors and roof openings adds materials and labor before drying can start.
Basement Flooding
Pumping out a flooded basement and removing wet finishes adds equipment and labor to the job.
Rooms Affected
Each wet room needs extraction, drying equipment and moisture checks, so the number of rooms sets much of the cost.
Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage Restoration?
Insurance may pay for board-up, tarping, extraction and drying after a covered storm. Your insurer decides what is covered, so check your policy and deductible.
Reasons to Use Local Pros for Storm Cleanup
Openings Covered First

Notes for Other Trades
Roof, window and siding damage is noted with photos, so roofers and contractors know where water got in.
Drying to Measured Targets

Your Storm Damage Restoration Questions Answered
Can wet carpet be saved after a storm?
Often, if it got wet from rain through a roof or window and is extracted and dried quickly. Carpet soaked by floodwater from outside is usually replaced.
What records will I get for my insurance claim?
Photos of the damage, daily moisture readings and a list of removed materials, which you can share with your adjuster.
Does insurance cover storm damage?
Many policies cover damage from wind and hail. Flooding from rising water outside usually needs a separate flood policy. Your insurer decides coverage.
How soon should storm cleanup start?
As soon as it is safe. Wet drywall, carpet and insulation can start to grow mold in 24 to 48 hours, and open roofs and windows let in more rain.
Is storm water dirty?
Rain coming through a roof is usually clean at first. Water that came in from outside across the ground is treated as dirty and needs cleaning as well as drying.
