CH And Sons Construction | General Contractor & Siding in Portland, OR

We start by extracting standing water, drying the crawl space, and inspecting for rot or mold. Our team removes damaged insulation, treats the wood, and installs vapor barriers to control moisture. If the leak affected drywall or flooring, we handle those repairs too. For ongoing protection, we recommend sealing the crawl space and adding proper drainage. We’ve dealt with this type of damage in homes near the Willamette River and in older neighborhoods like Irvington, so we know what works in Portland’s climate.

It depends on the extent of the damage. Our siding crew inspects for cracked, warped, or water-stained panels. For isolated issues, we replace just the affected boards and match the existing material—whether fiber cement, wood, or vinyl. If the freeze-thaw cycles have compromised a larger area, a full siding replacement may be more cost-effective and energy-efficient. We serve homes in Southeast Portland and the west side, and we always prioritize a tight, weatherproof seal.

Yes. We first do a complete water extraction and structural drying, then assess damage to drywall, flooring, and cabinets. Once the space is dry and safe, we can remodel the garage and laundry room at the same time—upgrading to waterproof materials, moving fixtures if needed, and improving ventilation. This approach minimizes downtime. We’ve handled similar jobs in homes near the Columbia River floodplain and in the Lents neighborhood. We’ll walk you through permits, material choices, and timelines to get your home back to normal.
