Wind-driven rain, saturated hillsides and falling oaks are part of a Napa winter. We secure the building first, then dry and repair the inside.
Atmospheric river storms hit Napa County hard. In a few days, inches of rain fall on hillsides that are already saturated, gusts bring down limbs and whole oaks, and gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned since summer overflow straight into walls and crawl spaces.
Storm damage usually has two parts. The outside needs to be secured right away, with tarps over roof damage and boards over broken windows, so the next band of rain does not make things worse. Then the inside needs the same extraction and drying any water loss gets.
These steps limit damage while help is on the way.
Tarps and board-up stop more water and weather from getting in.
Interior water is removed and drying equipment is set up.
Wet insulation, ceiling drywall and other unsalvageable materials are removed.
Roof, siding, windows and interior finishes are repaired once everything is dry.

Hillside neighborhoods like Browns Valley, Westwood Hills, Silverado and the Coombsville area see the most storm-related water intrusion, because runoff from above, overflowing gutters and tree damage hit at the same time. In the valley floor, it is more often wind-driven rain through older windows and flashing. Napa County's biggest storms are atmospheric rivers between November and March. Saturated hillsides, falling oaks and overflowing gutters cause most storm damage here, and burn scars from recent wildfires add runoff and debris risk.
Securing the property happens the first visit. Interior drying takes three to five days, and permanent roof and exterior repairs follow when weather allows.

We tarp as soon as it is safe to be on the roof. In severe wind or lightning, we may protect the inside first by catching and extracting water, then tarp when conditions allow.
Get everyone out of the affected rooms, avoid downed power lines, and call PG&E if lines are involved. Then call us. We coordinate tree removal, tarp the opening and dry the interior.
Clean gutters and downspouts before the first big rain, make sure downspouts discharge away from the foundation, trim limbs over the roof, and check that crawl space vents and sump pumps are working.
