Seattle receives measurable rainfall on an average of 150 days per year. Unlike cities that see heavy downpours and clear skies, we experience persistent drizzle and wind-driven rain that infiltrates every unsealed crack. When a window or door is compromised, this sustained moisture does not just wet surfaces. It saturates building materials, migrates through wall cavities, and creates conditions for mold growth within 48 hours. An open window in Phoenix might dry out naturally. An open window in Seattle during November becomes a water intrusion disaster. Emergency window boarding is not optional here. It is structural defense.
Evergreen Water Damage Restoration Seattle understands how local weather interacts with our building stock. Many Seattle homes predate modern moisture barriers and flashing standards. Older structures in neighborhoods like Queen Anne and Fremont require careful sealing techniques that prevent water from bypassing the board and entering through adjacent siding or trim. We work within Seattle's building codes and carry the licensing required for emergency structural protection. Local knowledge prevents mistakes that turn a simple board-up into a concealed mold problem six months later.
