Storm Water Damage in Portland
Patriot Dry provides storm water damage services in Portland, OR. Extraction and drying when wind-driven rain, storm runoff, or surface water gets into a building through doors, windows, foundations, or roofs.
Roof leaks, gutter overflows, and basement seepage during the rainy season are common.
Many older wood-frame homes have basements or crawl spaces, alongside newer apartment buildings.
Oregon's long, wet season west of the Cascades keeps materials damp for months, and wildfire smoke affects many areas in late summer.
Portland is in Multnomah County, Oregon.

Elsewhere in Multnomah County, we serve Gresham.

Local conditions
What affects storm water damage in Portland
How Oregon's climate, building types, and history shape this service locally.
Call Now (833) 502-4258A long rainy season
Months of steady rain in Oregon keep roofs, gutters, and crawl spaces under constant moisture load. Small leaks that go unnoticed for weeks are common, so storm water damage often includes finding where water has been entering slowly.
Crawl spaces and wood subfloors
Crawl space foundations are common in Oregon. Water that reaches the crawl space soaks insulation and wood framing out of sight, so storm water damage often includes inspecting and drying under the house, not only the rooms above.
- Wind-damaged roofs
- Broken windows and doors
- Runoff into basements
- Clogged gutters
