GSC
Comprehensive Storm and Tree Damage Restoration Services for Greater Seattle, WA
Our storm damage restoration services include:
Tree Strike Restoration
Large tree strikes can cause damage throughout your home that is often not visible upon initial inspection. These are often considered the most complex loss type to properly diagnose and create a detailed scope of work for. Because the resulting damage is often hidden, we look for key signs of structural damage based on decades of working on large tree impacts. We perform extensive investigative inspections with our structural engineers to further develop the scope of work. We then package this information in a format for your insurance company so they fully understand what is needed to restore your home.
We work collaboratively as a team to develop a comprehensive understanding of the full scope of work in the face of complex fire losses. For structural damage, we partner with engineers who specialize in the insurance restoration industry. Our long-standing relationships allow us to expedite plans while collaboratively addressing code upgrades, construction feasibility, and permitting challenges.
We produce a detailed scope of work that outlines a clear plan, addressing all damages sustained, including physical damage and smoke odor. By investing this time upfront, we set both our clients and production teams up for success.
Large Loss Water Restoration
Heavy rainfall, storm surges, or overflowing rivers can result in widespread water damage
throughout the home. When temperatures drop during a storm, pipes can freeze and burst,
also causing water damage.
After the remediation team completes drying and dehumidification, structural elements will
need to be rebuilt. That’s where we come in. At GSC, we handle the rebuilding process,
restoring your property to its original state with a clear, efficient approach.
Our large loss water restoration services address significant reconstruction needs beyond the
initial mitigation phase, such as:
- Repairing and evaluating electrical and mechanical systems.
- Addressing unseen damage (e.g., issues behind walls or under floors).
- Rebuilding your home’s walls, floors, and any other structural elements that may have
been affected.
Our Process
Our Approach to Storm and Tree Strike Damage Restoration
We are highly efficient at managing large, complex claims relating to wind damage. Our approach to restoration is built on quality, timeliness, and clear communication. Here is what you can expect from our process:
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with an on-site assessment to evaluate the damages sustained to your home and provide a clear outline of our process. We will discuss the scope of work, project timelines, and our process of working with your insurance adjuster. This is the phase where we outline expectations.
2. Engineering and Permitting
Depending on the extent of the damage, our team will coordinate with our structural engineers to develop the repair plans and permit package. This involves directly impacted structural components, tracing impact loads throughout the home, potentially stressed framing members, and identifying applicable code related upgrade items to ensure your home is built back properly.
3. Step-by-Step Restoration
Whether a tree branch caused minor damage to your exterior or if a large tree has fallen through your home, we handle the rebuild process from initial inspection through final clean.
- Demolition & Temp Services: Demolition and haul off, temporary shoring, and tarping to prevent secondary damages.
- Engineering and Permitting: Handling all repair plans and permitting to comply with local municipalities.
- Rebuild Process: Managing all aspects of the construction, from framing, rough-ins, and finishes.
- Materials Selection: Guiding you through the selection process with resources and an order of importance framework
4. Insurance Coordination
With decades of experience working alongside large loss adjusters and consultants, we have a proven track record of reaching agreements on scopes of work and costs with insurance companies. Our technical approach to estimating and documentation ensures the adjuster has a clear, accurate understanding of the damages. We manage the coordination alongside the restoration process to keep everything on track.
5. Project Completion
After the rebuild, we offer a standard construction warranty and remain available for any questions that may arise in the future. We continue to maintain relationships with past clients, offering free consultations on routine maintenance, vendor referrals, and any additional needs.
