The Storms That Damage San Jose Properties
Atmospheric rivers
The December 2022 to January 2023 storms brought a federal disaster declaration for Santa Clara County. Long rain can open roofs, saturate walls and push creeks over their banks, so we dry the structure and clean up water that has risen from outside.
Windstorms and falling trees
The March 14, 2023 windstorm sent Los Altos and Mountain View crews to downed trees, branches and power lines. A tree on a roof lets rain into the attic and ceilings, so we tarp first and then dry and repair.
Mud and debris on hillsides
Heavy rain can send mud and debris onto hillside roads, as it did on State Route 9 in Saratoga. Mud that reaches a property needs careful removal and drying of what it touched.

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 (408) 547-1320.
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.
