Portland receives an average of 36 inches of rain per year, with most of it falling between October and May. That prolonged wet season keeps exterior building materials damp for months. When siding, roofing, or flashing develops even small defects, water migrates into wall cavities and attics where it cannot dry out. The moderate temperatures (rarely freezing, rarely hot) mean evaporation happens slowly. Water that gets into your home in November might still be there in March, silently feeding mold and rotting framing. Locating concealed dampness before spring arrives prevents catastrophic damage when warmer temperatures accelerate microbial growth.
Evergreen Water Damage Restoration Portland has worked in this climate for years. We know how moisture behaves in Oregon's seasonal weather patterns. We understand local construction methods, from the brick foundations common in older Northeast Portland homes to the engineered floor systems used in newer suburban developments. That local expertise means we know where to look, what to test, and how to interpret readings in ways that out-of-town contractors simply cannot match. When you hire us, you are hiring people who know your home, your neighborhood, and your risks.
