Most storm losses start with an opening and end with water. Wind peels back roofing, breaks windows and sends limbs through siding, 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. After that, wet ceilings, walls and floors are dealt with, before mold and rot settle into the framing.
A call to (360) 564-7116 goes directly to an independent restoration provider serving Anacortes and nearby towns. 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.
Many storm damage restoration jobs in Anacortes also call for roof leak water damage or flood restoration.

Hazards come first: live wires, trees still under tension and ceilings heavy with water. Utility problems are left to the utility.
Openings in the roof, walls and windows are covered, so the damage does not keep growing with every shower.
Water is pulled out of floors, and saturated ceiling drywall and attic insulation are taken down, so the framing behind them is exposed to air.
Drying equipment is placed through the affected rooms, with moisture readings taken until everything is back to normal.
Debris is hauled off and damaged areas are cleaned, then the repair scope for roofing, drywall and finishes is laid out.
Broken windows, doors and wall openings are covered with plywood so the home is protected from rain and wind.
Inside the house, water is removed and the structure is dried to stop rot and mold before they begin.
Branches and wreckage are pulled off the house and hauled away, or referred to an arborist when the tree is large.
The provider notes the damage, the steps taken and the moisture readings, which can help with an insurance claim.
Heavy tarps are fastened over damaged roof sections to keep rain out until permanent repairs.
Fall and winter storms roll through Anacortes one after another, bringing wind that drops tall evergreens, atmospheric rivers that soak the ground and the occasional ice storm that weighs down limbs. Older roofs and big trees close to the house raise the risk. Property owners in Anacortes and nearby towns, including La Conner, Oak Harbor and Burlington, can use the same number to reach storm cleanup providers, so the building gets closed up and dried quickly.
Long, wet seasons and atmospheric river storms saturate the ground and push water into basements and crawl spaces, and the cold snaps that do arrive can split pipes in exterior walls 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.
