What Storm Damage Restoration Covers in 91802
Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
Hail can crack shingles, skylights and vent caps, and the next rain finds those cracks. The pros dry the attic and ceilings where the water got in.
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
Strong wind pushes rain sideways through window frames, vents and siding joints. The pros dry the wall cavities and floors that this water reached.
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.
Storm Damage Water Extraction
Rainwater that came in through a roof, window or door is removed from floors, carpet and the space under cabinets before it soaks into walls.
Emergency Roof Tarping
When wind or a fallen branch opens the roof, a tarp is fastened over the damage as a stopgap until a roofer makes the repair.
Storm Damage Warning Signs in 91802
Wet Attic Insulation
Damp or matted insulation in the attic after a storm means rain is getting past the roof deck.
Missing or Lifted Shingles

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.
Broken Windows or Doors
Any broken glass or damaged door lets rain and wind in. The opening needs to be covered before drying can work.
