Most storm losses start with an opening and end with water. Gusts can strip flashing, crack skylights and push trees into the house, and once the building is open, rain gets into insulation, drywall and framing. Lost power can also shut down a sump pump right when the ground is soaked.
Before drying can start, the building has to be closed up again. Temporary covers go over holes in the roof and walls so the next band of rain stays outside. Then the water damage inside can be extracted, opened up and dried, before mold and rot settle into the framing.
When you call (360) 564-6979, the line connects you with a local storm restoration provider that covers Camas. Be ready to tell the provider what was hit and whether the building is still open to the weather, then the visit, the estimate and the repairs are worked out between you and that company.

How storm damage restoration works
No two storm losses look alike, though crews tend to work in this sequence.
Assess the hazards
The crew looks for downed power lines, unstable trees, sagging ceilings and structural damage before work begins. Utility problems are left to the utility.
Secure the building
Roof tarps, plywood over broken windows and temporary wall covers keep more rain out, which is often the most important step in limiting the total loss.
Extraction and tear-out
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.
Dry the structure
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the attic, walls and floors, and the crew tracks readings until materials test dry.
Debris removal and rebuild planning
Debris is hauled off and damaged areas are cleaned, then the repair scope for roofing, drywall and finishes is laid out.
What is included
What storm damage restoration can include
Interior drying
Wet attics, ceilings, walls and floors are extracted and dried to stop rot and mold before they begin.
Tree and debris removal
Limbs and debris resting on the structure are cleared where safe, with large trees sometimes handed off to a tree service.
Board-up
Broken windows, doors and wall openings are covered with plywood to keep out weather and intruders.
Roof tarping
Heavy tarps are fastened over damaged roof sections until a roofer can make the final repair.
Local help
Storm Damage Restoration near Camas
Fall and winter storms roll through Camas one after another, bringing wind that drops tall evergreens, atmospheric rivers that soak the ground and the occasional ice storm that weighs down limbs. Homes with mature trees nearby and aging roofs see a lot of this damage. Property owners in Camas and nearby towns, including Fern Prairie, Washougal, Orchards and Vancouver, can use the same number to reach storm cleanup providers, so the building gets closed up and dried quickly.
What the weather here means for your home
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. Many older homes here sit over crawl spaces, where slow leaks and high humidity go unnoticed until floors soften or odors appear.

Straight answers
Talk to the provider about the damage, the plan and your insurance before work starts.
Is this site a restoration contractor?
This site does not do the work. Your call to (360) 564-6979 goes to a local provider that handles storm losses, who is responsible for the estimate, the schedule and the job itself.
Is it okay to wait a few days?
Covering the openings is the urgent part. Each new band of rain adds more water to the attic, walls and insulation, and insurers often expect you to limit further loss. The final roofing and drywall work can follow later.
Can the crew remove a tree from my roof?
Many restoration providers clear limbs and smaller trees from the structure. Large trees under tension or tangled in power lines often need a tree service or the utility. The provider can tell you what they can handle and who to call for the rest.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage?
Policies tend to treat wind and falling trees differently from surface flooding. Flood coverage normally needs a separate policy. Read your policy, talk to your agent and ask the provider about records for the claim.
What should I do right after a storm damages my home?
Start with safety. Keep away from downed lines and do not climb onto a damaged roof. Where you safely can, move belongings out of the wet area and catch drips. Write down what happened and when, and keep receipts for anything you buy.
