Portland receives consistent rainfall from October through May, creating prolonged high humidity even after storms pass. When water intrudes into your home, the ambient moisture slows evaporation and accelerates mold growth on porous contents. Leather furniture, books, mattresses, and clothing absorb moisture faster in Portland's damp climate than in arid regions. Without immediate emergency packout services, your belongings sit in a humid environment that promotes bacterial growth and material degradation. Older homes in neighborhoods like Alameda and Irvington lack modern vapor barriers, compounding the problem. Contents cleaning services must start within 24 hours to prevent total loss.
