Help With Storm Damage in 93314
In the Bakersfield area, the storms that cause the most water damage bring strong wind and heavy rain together, pushing water into places it does not normally reach.
Storm Damage Cleanup Services in 93314, CA
Emergency Board Up Services
Broken windows and doors are covered with plywood so rain and wind stop coming in and the home is secure while drying runs.
Debris Removal After Storm
Wet debris left in a room keeps the space damp. Clearing it is the first step before the pros extract water and set up drying.
Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
Water that gets in through hail damage is removed from the attic, wet insulation is pulled and the ceiling below is dried.
Storm Damage Water Extraction
After a storm, water is extracted room by room with pumps and extractors, starting with the areas where it is deepest.
Emergency Roof Tarping
When wind or a fallen branch opens the roof, a tarp is fastened over the damage as a stopgap until a roofer makes the repair.
How to Tell a Storm Let Water Inside
Dripping From Light Fixtures
Water coming through a light or fan means it has pooled above the ceiling. Turn off that circuit and keep people clear.
Musty Smell After Heavy Rain
A damp smell that was not there before the storm usually means wet insulation, carpet pad or wall cavities.
Ceiling Stains After a Storm
New brown rings or damp spots on the ceiling after high wind or hail mean water is getting through the roof.
Dented Vents and Skylights
Hail dents on roof vents, skylight frames or flashing can leave gaps where water gets in during the next storm.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 93314
Step 1: Protect Belongings
Furniture, electronics and stored items in wet rooms are moved, raised or covered before extraction begins.
Step 2: Extraction Room by Room
Water is removed from each affected room, and wet carpet that cannot be saved is pulled up.
Step 3: Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
Water behind siding and inside exterior walls is found with meters and dried through small openings or removed baseboards.
Step 4: Verify and Close Out
Final readings and photos are recorded for each room, so you and your insurer can see the drying results.
What Causes Water Damage After Storms in 93314?
Power Outages
Storms that knock out power stop pumps and dehumidifiers, so water that gets in stays longer than it otherwise would.
Roof Damage From Wind
High winds lift and tear shingles and flashing, exposing the roof deck to rain that soaks into the attic.
Flash Flooding
Sudden heavy rain can send water across yards and under doors faster than drains and gutters can carry it away.
Overflowing Gutters
Heavy rain can overflow clogged or undersized gutters, sending water down walls and toward the foundation.

Storm Damage Restoration vs. DIY: When to Call Local Pros
A wet-dry vacuum can pick up small amounts of water from hard floors. Soaked carpet, walls and ceilings need extraction and drying equipment to dry fully.
Factors in Storm Damage Cleanup Cost in 93314
Storm water from outside can carry dirt, which means more cleaning and sometimes more material removal than a clean water leak.
Water Source
Rain coming through a roof is cleaner than floodwater from outside. Dirty water means more cleaning and removal of porous materials.
Board-Up and Tarping
Covering broken windows, doors and roof openings adds materials and labor before drying can start.
Rooms Affected
Each wet room needs extraction, drying equipment and moisture checks, so the number of rooms sets much of the cost.
Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage Restoration?
Some policies have a separate wind or hail deductible. Read yours or ask your agent so you know what to expect before work begins.

Storm Damage Cleanup Questions Answered
Can hail damage cause leaks later?
Yes. Hail can crack shingles, skylights and vent caps, and those cracks may not leak until the next heavy rain.
Do the pros repair roofs and windows?
They cover them with tarps and plywood so the inside can dry. Permanent roof, window and siding repairs are done by those trades.
What should I do first after a storm damages my home?
Stay away from downed power lines, take photos, move belongings away from water and call (559) 272-9793 for board-up, tarping and drying.
How long does it take to dry a home after storm damage?
Drying often takes several days, depending on how many rooms got wet and how much insulation and drywall came out. Moisture readings decide when it is done.
Should debris be removed before the adjuster visits?
Take photos and video first. Your insurer can tell you what to keep for the adjuster, but wet debris inside the house may need to be removed to prevent more damage.
