The Storms That Damage Ventura County Properties
Short, intense winter storms
On December 21, 2023, a storm dropped 3.18 inches of rain on downtown Oxnard between midnight and 1 a.m., more than the area's average for the whole month of December, per the National Weather Service. Rain that falls that fast can find roof openings, doors and low entries before anyone is ready.
River rises
The Ventura River, Sespe Creek and the Santa Clara River can rise quickly after heavy rain. Floodwater from them leaves silt and contamination, so cleanup includes removal and disinfection.
High surf
On December 28, 2023, high surf flooded coastal areas in Ventura and forced residents out near Ventura State Beach and the Pierpont neighborhood, according to news reports. Seawater leaves sand and salt in garages and ground floors, so we flush and dry thoroughly.

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 (805) 250-7850.
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.
