AfterFast, Reliable Storm & Disaster Restoration Across Camas
Storm damage in Camas doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. DryMark Restoration responds to wind-driven roof failures, ice-dam water intrusion, and crawl space flooding throughout Camas with crews who know exactly what Gorge weather does to local homes. We’re the Storm & Disaster Restoration team that documents every visit with moisture readings, photos, and a written scope before work starts. When a 60 mph east wind tears off shingles above NE 4th Avenue or freezing rain loads ice into your eaves, call (629) 213-4606 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day.
Why DryMark Restoration Is Camas’s Preferred Storm & Disaster Restoration Company
Camas homeowners have a specific problem: the Columbia River Gorge funnels wind straight into this city with forces that neighboring communities rarely see. Our crews understand that a missing shingle on a downtown Craftsman isn’t a cosmetic issue. It’s the first step toward sheathing rot, attic moisture, and a five-figure repair after the next storm. We carry that understanding into every job. Led by Alicia Brennan, DryMark has operated under The Haven Standard since 2011, with a documentation-first approach: moisture mapping, daily drying logs, and photo records that insurance adjusters can actually use. We serve Camas with local crews dispatched from our Seattle office, and every technician arrives background-checked, uniformed, and named before they step through your door.
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration Services in Camas
Storm Damage Cleanup
After a Gorge wind event, Camas yards collect downed limbs, torn flashing, and scattered debris. Our storm damage cleanup crews remove hazards, photograph the full extent before touching anything, and document what’s storm-related versus pre-existing. Written pricing comes first, always. The photo record maps every square foot so your claim isn’t a debate.
Flood Damage Restoration
Hillside homes above downtown Camas sit on clay-heavy soils that shed water directly toward original foundation walls. After heavy rain, we see crawl space flooding and below-grade intrusion in the pre-drain-era Craftsman stock along NE 4th Avenue and the surrounding historic blocks. We extract, set up Dri-Eaz and XPOWER drying systems, and run daily moisture logs to IICRC standards until the structure reads dry. No guessing. No premature sign-off.
Emergency Board-Up
When a cedar top snaps through a gable or wind pressure blows out a window near Lacamas Lake, structural openings invite more water, animals, and liability. We board up openings same-day in Camas, using plywood cut to the opening and secured for wind load. Emergency board-up is a temporary measure, but done wrong it becomes a second damage event. We document every opening before and after.
Roof Tarping
A tarp over wind-damaged roof decking in Camas has to hold against the next 50 mph gust. We install tarps with furring strips and fasteners rated for Gorge wind, not the light-duty stapled tarp that fails overnight. Every tarping job includes photo documentation of the damaged area, the tarped surface, and the fastening pattern, so your insurer sees the mitigation was done right.

Common Storm & Disaster Restoration Problems We See in Camas Homes
- Wind load on aging Craftsman rooflines: The historic homes along NE 4th Avenue and the blocks above downtown have steep rooflines and wood framing never designed for 60 mph east winds. Missing shingles after one storm become full sheathing replacement after the next.
- Ice damming hidden in eaves: Gorge freezing rain, like the severe 2021 event, loads ice onto eaves and creates dams that back water under shingles. Stains on ceilings may not appear for weeks. By then, mold is already established in the attic assembly.
- Crawl space flooding on hillside clay soils: Homes above downtown on clay-heavy grades consistently flood crawl spaces every wet season. Gravity directs storm water into pre-drain-era foundations that have no perimeter drainage. It repeats house to house in that corridor.
- Undetected moisture in wall cavities after board-up: Wind-driven rain enters cracked siding, window flashing, and gable vents during the storm, then sits hidden inside wall assemblies. We find these with thermal imaging and moisture meters, not by waiting for visible damage.

FAQs - Storm & Disaster Restoration in Camas
Why does Camas see more wind-driven roof damage than Vancouver or Battle Ground after the same storm?
Camas sits at the western mouth of the Columbia River Gorge, where the canyon acts like a funnel for east winds that routinely exceed 50 to 60 mph. Vancouver and Battle Ground don’t face that same concentrated wind loading. The result is more shingle loss, more torn flashing, and more water intrusion tied directly to wind pressure in Camas, particularly on older rooflines near downtown. If your roof lost shingles in the last east wind event, call (629) 213-4606 for a moisture inspection before the next one.
How soon after an east wind event should I get a moisture inspection for my attic?
Within 48 to 72 hours. Wind-driven rain and ice damming force water into attic assemblies where it can sit hidden for weeks. The longer it sits, the more likely you’re looking at mold remediation on top of structural drying. Our crews run thermal imaging and moisture meters in the attic, document every reading, and give you a written scope before any work begins.
Does emergency board-up help if my window is only cracked, not shattered?
Yes. A cracked window after a Gorge wind event is a water intrusion point, and a cracked opening also signals structural compromise in the frame. Boarding up over a cracked but intact window prevents the crack from becoming a full failure during the next wind gust. We document the pre-existing condition before installing anything, so there’s no insurance dispute about what was storm damage versus prior wear.
Why do older hillside homes above downtown Camas flood crawl spaces in heavy rain?
The hillside neighborhoods above downtown Camas sit on clay-heavy soils with significant grade. Heavy rain sheds off the clay and drives straight into original foundation walls that predate modern perimeter drain requirements. The result is the same house-to-house pattern every wet season: flooded crawl spaces and below-grade moisture intrusion. We handle it with extraction, perimeter drainage evaluation, and structural drying documented to IICRC standards.
If my roof tarp is still holding after a week, can I skip full restoration?
No. A tarp is mitigation, not restoration. It stops active water entry but doesn’t address the underlying wind damage to decking, underlayment, flashing, or framing. In Camas, where the next east wind event is always coming, leaving a tarp in place means betting your roof against another 60 mph gust. We inspect what’s under the tarp, document the damage, and give you a written scope for the permanent repair. Call (629) 213-4606 to schedule that inspection.
