The Storms That Damage Reno-Tahoe Properties
Roof snow load and ice dams
The Town of Truckee treats the entire town as a snow area and publishes ground snow load by parcel. Warning signs of an overloaded roof include sagging beams, new cracks above windows and doors, sticking doors and windows, interior water leaks, buckling siding, and sprinkler heads pushed down. When in doubt, have a qualified professional check it out.
Rain on snow
Douglas County has warned about a warm atmospheric river falling on snow-covered Carson Valley. Rain on snow melts fast, and roof snow turns to water at gutters, flashing and vents. Clearing snow from roofs with a roof rake before rain helps keep melt out of attics.
Snow-blocked vents and winter outages
Snow over vents and flues raises carbon monoxide risk, and power outages leave sump pumps, furnaces and heat tape off while a leak runs. We check attics, ceilings and walls after every storm call.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Missing or lifted shingles, or a tree limb on the roof
- Water stains on ceilings after wind-driven rain
- Broken windows, doors, or siding
- Water in the basement after a flash flood
- Ice dams along the roof edge with water inside the house
- A musty smell in the attic in the weeks after a storm
Stay away from downed power lines and do not enter a flooded basement until the power is off. If it is safe, cover openings and move valuables away from leaks, take photos of the damage, and call (775) 239-3690 so we can tarp, board up, and start drying.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how the storm got in: through the roof, through broken openings, or through the basement. Wind and hail damage often lets water into attics and wall cavities, where it spreads before stains appear. We inspect the whole path of the water and document it for your adjuster.
Tarping and board-up happen the same day. Drying usually takes 3 to 5 days, and repairs follow, with timing that depends on roofing and material availability after widespread storms.
What We Restore After a Storm
- Roofs and attics after wind and hail
- Ceilings and drywall after wind-driven rain
- Basements after flash floods
- Windows, doors, and siding
- Ceilings and walls after ice dams
- Garages and outbuildings
- Contents and furniture
- Commercial roofs and storefronts

We provide Direct Insurance Coordination on storm claims, with photos, readings, and a written scope for your adjuster. Wind, hail, and ice dam damage are usually handled under your homeowner policy, while surface flooding needs flood coverage, so ask your carrier which parts of a storm loss apply.
