Storm Damage Costs a Business Twice

For a business, storm damage is not only a repair bill. A flat roof that leaks over a sales floor, floodwater in a warehouse or broken storefront glass can close the doors, put stock and equipment at risk and leave tenants without a usable space. The faster the building is secured and dried, the less there is to rebuild and the sooner the space can be used again.

Our IICRC-certified technicians respond 24/7, with an average response time of 45 minutes. We secure the building, handle flat-roof leaks and water across large floor areas, and plan drying in phases so unaffected areas can keep working. We document the damage with photos and moisture logs for your insurer and property manager.

Commercial Storm Damage Restoration for Seattle-Area Businesses

Storm risk for Puget Sound businesses

Many of the region’s warehouses, distribution centers and retail districts sit on valley floors near rivers. In December 2025, the Desimone Levee on the Green River breached in Tukwila, and King County issued a GO NOW evacuation for part of the city; most of the more than 500 people evacuated were from businesses. Windstorms add their own damage: on November 19, 2024, a bomb cyclone brought down trees and left nearly 600,000 Washington homes without power, the Associated Press reported.

What our commercial storm damage service includes

Securing the building: emergency roof tarping and board-up of broken storefront glass, doors and windows.
Flat-roof leaks: removing wet ceiling tiles and insulation and drying the space below.
Large-area water removal: extraction from sales floors, offices, warehouses and parking levels.
Floodwater cleanup: removal of contaminated materials, cleaning and disinfection; see storm and flood cleanup.
Stock and equipment: moving, protecting or separating inventory, furniture and equipment.
Phased drying: working area by area so unaffected parts of the building can keep running.
Documentation and repairs: photos, moisture logs and an itemized scope, then drywall, ceilings and flooring.

Apartment buildings, condos and HOAs need extra coordination: a single roof leak or flood often reaches several units, a hallway and a parking level. We dry each affected unit and common area and keep records by unit, so the owner, the HOA and each insurer can see what was done where. On flat roofs, the first sign of a storm leak is often a stained ceiling tile far from the actual opening, so we trace the water before we dry.

For water damage from causes other than storms, such as sprinkler discharges and burst pipes, see commercial water damage restoration.

What to do right now

Get people out of damaged areas and keep staff and customers away from wet floors and sagging ceilings.
Stay away from downed power lines, as the Washington State Department of Health advises, and keep power off in flooded areas until it is safe.
Move what you safely can: stock, records and equipment off the floor and away from leaks.
Take photos and video and start a written log for the insurer and owner.
Call us to secure the building and start removing water.

When to call us

Call when a storm has opened the roof or broken glass, when water is coming through ceiling tiles, when floodwater has entered the building, or when water is spreading across more than one suite or unit. Commercial storm work is part of our storm and disaster restoration service, and wind and tree damage repair covers trees that land on a building.

We work with businesses in Tukwila, Kent, SeaTac, Tacoma, Seattle and across King and Pierce County.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my business stay open during storm damage restoration?

Often part of it can. We plan drying and repairs in phases, separating the affected areas so that unaffected parts of the building can keep working where it is safe to do so. Whether that works for your site depends on where the damage is, how far the water spread and what local safety rules require.

What should a property manager do first after storm damage?

Make sure people are safe and out of damaged areas, shut off power to wet areas if it can be done safely, and stay away from downed power lines. Take photos of the damage, notify the owner and the insurer, and call us to secure the building and start removing water. Keep a log of who was told what and when.

Do you handle flat-roof leaks on commercial buildings?

Yes. Flat roofs often leak during long winter storms, and the first sign may be stained ceiling tiles or water above a suspended ceiling. We cover the damaged roof area, remove wet ceiling tiles and insulation, dry the space below and document the damage. The roof itself then needs a permanent repair.

Do you work on apartment buildings and HOAs?

Yes. In apartment buildings and condos, one roof leak or flood often reaches several units and common areas. We secure the building, dry each affected unit and common area, and keep records by unit so the owner, the HOA and each insurer can see what was done where.

What documentation do you provide for a commercial claim?

We provide photos of the damage and the work, daily moisture readings and an itemized scope. That documentation is meant for your insurer, property manager and owner. We work with most insurance companies, but your policy decides what is covered, including any business interruption coverage.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An inspection revealed groundwater in our crawlspace.  Another business never got back to me with an estimate so I call 911 Restoration.  They came out the next day and gave me an estimate (Very Reasonable) and scheduled the work to begin in 4 days.  Due to a snowstorm they had to delay two days, but got the work done promptly and professionally.  I would contact them first in the future if I had need of their services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a water damage in our house and called 911 Restoration. Teya was courteous, explained what needs to be done, and answered all our questions patiently. The water mitigation crew were timely, professional, and efficient. They brought in equipment to dry the floor, removed damaged items, cleaned/sanitized, as well as thoroughly documented the damage for insurance. I would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with such a situation!
