Storm Damage Inspection

What This Service Involves

When a Pacific Northwest atmospheric river or a Fraser Valley outflow event rolls through, the damage to your roof is rarely obvious from the driveway. Our inspectors document wind-lifted tabs, displaced ridge caps, and moisture intrusion around penetrations before the next storm drives water deeper into the deck. We photograph every finding at close range and map it against the direction the storm actually traveled across your neighborhood. That evidence gives you an honest picture of whether a targeted repair or an insurance claim is the right call. You get a plain-language report rather than a sales pitch.

Benefits

Catches wind and debris damage that is invisible from the ground before it becomes an active leak; Produces dated, geotagged photo evidence sized for a claim; Prioritizes findings so you spend money where the roof is actually failing; Draws on local knowledge of how PNW storm tracks hit specific roof faces

Our Process

1) Dispatch an inspector within days of the storm while damage is still fresh; 2) Walk the roof, attic, and interior for wind, water, and debris evidence; 3) Photograph and annotate each defect with location and severity; 4) Deliver a written report with a clear repair-or-claim recommendation

What Affects the Cost

Roof pitch and height that dictate fall-protection setup; Number of roof faces and penetrations to examine; Whether attic and interior moisture checks are added; Travel distance across the Sound or into outlying King and Snohomish County towns; Urgency of same-week scheduling after a major event

Best Time of Year

Book immediately after fall and winter windstorms, when back-to-back systems between October and March cause the bulk of regional roof damage.
