Storm Water Damage in Tigard, OR
Wind-driven rain, a failed window seal or runoff at a door can send water across a floor. The water is pumped out, the soaked materials are sorted and the house is dried.

First steps for storm water damage
- Check the openings. Look for wet windowsills, door thresholds and ceiling stains after heavy rain.
- Protect the floor. Pull rugs and furniture off wet areas and set foil under legs.
- Avoid runoff. Keep children and pets out of water that came in from outside.
- Document everything. Take dated pictures of the entry points and the soaked materials.
Storm water behaves differently from a pipe leak. It arrives from outside, carries grit and sometimes worse, and tends to enter at a door, a window or a low spot rather than at a fixture. The first question is where it came from, because that decides whether the materials are dried or removed.
Named local cases
Three events are on record here. The Fanno Creek Trail under Scholls Ferry Road floods naturally in wetter months, especially in winter. Cook Park flooded in February 1996, a flood the USGS calls one of the most destructive of the 20th century for Northwest Oregon. And a December 2025 storm was reported with 2.40 inches of rain on Bull Mountain. They are outdoor events, and none says a given house took on water.
- Windows and door thresholds let in rain that soaks trim and the floor edge.
- Runoff carries dirt and may count as gray or black water.
- Gutters that overflow can send water down walls and into the structure.
- Floors near the entry take the most water and are metered first.

Ranges are typical, not a quote: the water category, square footage, material class and how fast drying started move the number most. Run the water damage cost calculator for a closer range.
Sorting what dries and what goes
Clean rain on a hard floor usually dries in place. Runoff on carpet is a different job, because pad that has touched dirty water is removed. Where the water was heavily contaminated, the plan follows sewage backup cleanup practice, with cleaning and treatment before drying.
Drying after the weather clears
Air movers and dehumidifiers run through structural drying, with readings logged each day until floors and wall bases come back to target.

Is rainwater inside a house clean?
Not always. Rain that blows in at a window starts clean, but runoff from the ground or a gutter picks up dirt and is treated with more caution.
How is storm damage different from a pipe leak?
The water comes from outside, so grit and contamination are more likely. Extraction is similar, but cleaning and removal decisions change.
Does the Fanno Creek Trail flooding affect nearby houses?
The trail floods naturally in wetter months, and that fact says nothing about any one address. A FEMA flood map check is the way to learn an address's status.
Will insurance cover rain that came through a window?
It depends on the policy and the cause. Wind-driven rain through an opening is often handled differently from rising surface water, so the adjuster decides.
How long can wet drywall wait?
Past 24 to 48 hours the risk of mold goes up, so cutting and drying early keeps the loss smaller.
Dry out before it spreads
Pumps, cleaning and daily readings begin with the wet floor, so the storm loss stops growing.
