Cannon Beach earned its name from a US Navy cannon that washed ashore North of Arch Cape. The cannon was knocked loose from a schooner named “Shark” that hit land while attempting to cross the Columbia Bar. Known for its famous Haystack Rock, Cannon Beach is the former territory of the Tillamook Tribe of Native Americans. Cannon Beach sits against Ecola State Park which brings in visitors from all around the state year-round. William Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedition remarked that he saw "...the grandest and most pleasing prospects which my eyes ever surveyed, in front of a boundless Ocean...". The spot at which he stood was later named “Clark’s Point of View”, the viewpoint can be accessed by a hiking trail from Indian Beach in the Ecola State Park. The city is full of historical monuments such as a whale sculpture at the northern end of Hemlock Street that represents a journey William Clark, Sacagawea, and many other of their traveling companions made to the shore of Cannon Beach where they bartered with the Native American Tillamook tribe for 300 pounds of whale blubber and oil before their return to Fort Clatsop.

Heavy rains in Cannon Beach can cause water damage

Cannon Beach is classified as a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, meaning it receives an average of 77.5 inches of rainfall annually. As a coastal town, many of the homes and properties are prone to mold and water damage-related issues. Because many of the homes in Cannon Beach are used as second homes or vacation rentals, they are at a higher risk for fire losses as they are not monitored 24/7 like a typical residential home.

We will make the fire or water damage restoration process as quick and painless as possible so your property will look "like it never even happened."
