Storm Damage Restoration in Long Beach, California
Storms reach Long Beach from the ocean and from the sky. Tropical systems offshore can send high surf over the berms and into streets, garages and waterfront properties, and heavy winter rain can overrun roofs, drains and parking structures. 911 Restoration of Long Beach responds around the clock in Downtown Long Beach and the East Village, Belmont Shore and Naples, Belmont Heights and Alamitos Beach, Bixby Knolls and California Heights, Los Altos and University Park Estates, Lakewood Village and Park Estates, Rose Park, and the city of Signal Hill.
Quick answer: 911 Restoration of Long Beach provides 24/7 storm damage restoration across Long Beach, including Downtown, Belmont Shore and Naples, Bixby Knolls, Rose Park and Signal Hill: water extraction, roof and ceiling leak response, board up and tarping, structural drying, and repairs, with a typical 45-minute arrival and Direct Insurance Coordination. Call (562) 270-2001 for immediate help.
The Storms That Damage Long Beach Properties
Surf and berm overtopping
As Marie churned offshore in September 2026, high surf washed over the berms and flooded Long Beach streets, and sand clogged storm drains on the Peninsula. Water that enters a garage or ground floor this way is salty and contaminated, so cleanup includes disinfection as well as drying.
Tropical storm remnants and waterfront damage
After the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel in October 2026, the City reinforced sand berms along the shoreline and pre-staged equipment in vulnerable neighborhoods including Naples, as reported by FOX 11. Waterfront properties can take wind, surf and water damage together, and structures can be red-tagged until repairs are made.
Record winter rain
Long Beach Airport set single-day rainfall records in February 2024. Rain at that pace can overwhelm roof drains and flat roofs and run into ceilings, walls and ground-floor spaces. We tarp roofs, extract water and dry the structure so a storm leak does not turn into a mold problem.

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 (562) 270-2001.
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.
