ServiceMaster Restoration by Horizon | Damage Restoration Portland, OR

In Portland, garage water intrusion often happens because of heavy rainfall or melting snow, especially when gutters are clogged or the ground slopes toward the structure. Poor sealing around garage doors or cracks in the foundation can also let water in. This is common after tropical storms when the ground is already saturated, leaving no place for water to drain.

Signs of mold include a musty smell, visible dark spots on walls or floors, or increased allergy symptoms among occupants. After a flood or storm, moisture can hide behind drywall or under flooring, so a professional inspection using moisture meters is the best way to detect it early before it spreads.

We start with water extraction using truck-mounted pumps, then set up industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the area thoroughly. For affected garages, we remove standing water, treat for mold, and repair or replace damaged materials. Our goal is to restore your property quickly and prevent future issues, especially in Portland's wet climate.
