The Storms That Damage Inland Empire Properties
Tropical-storm downpours
Tropical Storm Hilary in August 2023 brought rain far beyond a normal summer, and flooding and debris flows washed out some roads and bridges across the region. Roofs, gutters and door thresholds not built for it can leak, and water can enter garages and ground-floor rooms. Fast tarping and extraction limit the damage.
Santa Ana winds and debris
Strong, dry Santa Ana winds can lift tiles, damage flashing, topple fences and drop branches on a roof, opening the building to the next rain. We board up, tarp and dry the interior so repairs can begin without more damage.
Mud from burned slopes
After a fire, burned slopes shed mud and debris in the storms that follow. Runoff can push mud against walls and into garages. We clear mud, extract water and dry affected structure.
Power shutoffs and spoiled food
Public safety power shutoffs, such as those during the January 2025 Santa Ana wind event, can leave refrigerators without power. Throw out spoiled food, keep the AC off until power is stable, and call us if water or smoke damage follows.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Missing or lifted shingles, or granules in the gutters after hail
- Water stains on ceilings after wind-driven rain
- Broken windows or doors
- Fallen trees or limbs on the roof
- Water inside after a flash flood or tropical storm
- Damp insulation in the attic
Stay away from downed power lines and do not enter a flooded room until the power is off. If it is safe, cover openings and move valuables away from leaks, take photos of the damage, and call (909) 323-7730.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how the storm got in: through the roof, through broken openings, or through flooding at ground level. Wind and hail damage often lets water into attics and wall cavities, where it spreads before it shows on a ceiling.
Tarping and board-up usually happen on the first visit. Drying takes 3 to 5 days in most homes, and repairs follow once the structure is dry and the scope is approved.
What We Restore After a Storm
- Roofs, after tarping and repair
- Attics and insulation
- Ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain
- Windows, doors, and siding
- Ground-floor rooms after flash floods
- Flooring and subfloors
- Fences and exterior structures
- Contents and electronics
Insurance and Documentation for Storm Damage Restoration
We provide Direct Insurance Coordination on storm claims, with photos, readings, and a written scope for your adjuster. Wind and hail damage are usually handled under your homeowner policy, while rising floodwater usually needs a separate flood policy, and some coastal policies carry a separate windstorm or hurricane deductible. We document how the water got in so your adjuster can apply the right coverage.
