But what about permanent repairs?Homeowners sitting in flooded rooms, or under leaking roofs, are getting emergency help right now.Contractors talked to 7 On Your Side about what's in store for weary residents.
The contractors tell 7 On Your Side that supply were already scarce for materials and skilled labor before the storms. And the wild wind and rain exposed problems homeowners never knew they had, like solar panels piercing their roofs, or trees weakened by the drought. It may take awhile to get major repairs done, but they say, start now.
"Once this rain stops, I mean, contractors across the board are going to be extremely busy," said Nicole Humber of Bravo Restoration.Nicole Humber of Bravo Restoration in Windsor says the powerful storms were too much to bear for roofs, trees and drainage systems, many long neglected during the drought.
"Heavy rains in the middle of the night, the winds pushing water in two directions, and it's going into every little nook and cranny of everyone's homes that nobody was prepared for," said Humber."There's not as many contractors and tradespeople, men and women out there like there used to be, and so everybody already had a waitlist to get repairs done or to get things done. And now that's just, I mean, it's crazy right now," said Humber.
Roofer Adrian Contreras, owner of Diablo Roofing, says folks didn't think about maintaining their roofs during the drought, and are now paying the price.
