Gresham sits at the base of the Columbia River Gorge corridor, and that geography is not kind to homes and businesses when Pacific storms roll in from the coast. Properties in subdivisions like Rockwood and Kelly Creek frequently deal with basement intrusion and crawl-space saturation after extended rain events, conditions that demand immediate extraction and industrial drying, not a wait-and-see approach.
Gresham’s housing stock is a mix of mid-century ranch homes, 1980s multifamily complexes along Division and Burnside, and newer construction in its fast-growing outer corridors. Older homes often have compromised vapor barriers and minimal drainage slopes, meaning even a modest appliance failure, dishwasher overflow, hot water heater rupture, can soak framing and subfloor before it’s noticed. Our crews deploy with moisture meters and thermal imaging to map every affected area, including the hidden pockets that drywall can conceal.
For commercial property managers overseeing Gresham’s industrial parks along NE Sandy Boulevard and the 181st Avenue corridor, water infiltration during a break in operations can shut down warehousing and light manufacturing. We design containment plans that let your adjacent bays remain operational while we extract, dry, and sanitize the affected zone, minimizing lost revenue and lease disruptions for your tenants.
We dispatch from our Portland HQ on NE 42nd Ave, typically a 20-minute drive to central Gresham. When your property is at risk, that time difference matters.
We serve Gresham and these surrounding communities in the Portland metro:

You call 503.737.8423. Our dispatch team answers 24/7. We confirm the location, nature of the damage, and deploy the nearest available crew to your Gresham property with no delay.
Technicians use thermal imaging and moisture meters to map every wet area, including inside walls and under flooring. We establish physical containment barriers immediately to prevent the damage zone from spreading.
Heavy-duty pumps and vacuum equipment remove standing water. Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers are set and monitored continuously, pulling trapped moisture from structural members, subfloors, and concrete slabs.
Affected materials are cleaned and sanitized to industry standards. We document drying logs and moisture readings throughout, providing detailed records for your insurance adjuster before we deliver final clearance.
We hand your property back clean, dry, and documented, ready for your chosen rebuild contractor with zero pressure from us. Our 1-year workmanship warranty on the restoration work starts here.
Lovett serves multifamily housing, industrial warehouses, municipal facilities, hospitality venues, and commercial offices throughout the Gresham area. Our containment protocols minimize tenant displacement and keep adjacent operations running.

Family-owned since 1997. Real reviews from Portland Metro and SW Washington property owners and managers.
“Used Lovett for water damage restoration after a previous contractor did not reinstall my toilet properly. It leaked for three months before being discovered through black mold and a bad ceiling on the lower level. Best part was their professionalism and positive attitude. Always kept me informed and showed up on time. Everyone was thorough.”

“The Lovett team, under Daniel Chesney’s lead, was beyond quick, helpful, and professional. They communicated with my family the entire time. Everything was left as clean or cleaner than when they arrived. They truly treated our home as if it were their own. Hands down the most professional company I’ve ever interacted with.”
