Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in San Francisco, CA
From wind-driven rain to flash flooding, crews board up, extract, and dry the structure, then document everything for the claim. Storm and flood recovery starts with extraction and structural drying, then documenting the loss for an insurance or flood claim. Because floodwater carries soil and debris, affected porous materials are removed rather than dried, and the structure is re-checked as it dries.

Frequently asked questions
The rain totals are modest. Why does the west side stay wet in July?
Because the marine layer is not rain. Summer fog condenses on cold west-side walls and window tracks for weeks at a time, and balloon-frame Victorians have no sheathing to stop that film from reaching the studs. The Bolinas gauge records a dry month. The siding does not.
Is bay fill a different job from dune sand?
Yes. Fill over mud holds a water table the estuary sets, so a Mission or waterfront basement can wet from below on a fair day. Dune sand on the west side takes December rain and moves it laterally under the floor. One job is groundwater. The other is a wick. Treating them as the same soil wastes the diagnosis.
A stain showed up two rooms from a known roof leak. How?
Balloon framing is a highway. There is no cavity to contain a leak, so water runs along the studs and plates and appears wherever a finish is weakest, often a room or two away. The stain is the exit, not the source, and scoping has to precede any cut.
