The Storms That Damage Greater Sacramento Properties
The January 2023 windstorm
On January 7 to 8, 2023, wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph moved through the region, including 64 mph at Mather Airport, and nearly 350,000 SMUD customers lost power at one point. Large trees came down on homes, opening roofs to the rain that followed. We tarp first, then dry the attic and rooms below.
Atmospheric rivers and creek flooding
Winter atmospheric rivers bring long stretches of heavy rain. Creeks rise, including Dry Creek, Linda Creek and Cirby Creek in Roseville, and water reaches garages, slab floors and crawl spaces. Floodwater is contaminated, so we remove soaked porous materials and disinfect before drying.
Wind-driven rain and attics
Wind lifts shingles and tiles and drives rain under flashing and through vents. Water soaks attic insulation and ceilings before it shows, so we check the attic on every storm call.

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 (916) 469-0808.
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.
