Jewell Cleanup and Restoration

One of Oregon’s jewels located snuggly between the Saddle Mountain State Area and the Clatsop State Forest – Jewell, Oregon offers their residents and small community the surroundings of classic Oregon beauty. Jewell is known for its record breaking Bigleaf Maple with a height of 101 feet and spread out 90 feet across. These protected areas of wildlife are such an essential part of Oregon’s ecosystem and what brings so many out of state visitors every year.  Featuring a nature reserve, Jewell Meadows Wildlife Area houses some of Oregon’s Roosevelt elk who are the largest subspecies of elk west of the Cascades. Jewell spans nearly 300 square miles and with a population of less than 1,000 residents and has a single school for grades K-12.

Jewell experiences water damage

With its coastal location and geography, Jewell has suffered from several floods causing severe water damages to the houses within floodplains. Water damage can become a hazardous restoration project depending on the contaminants of the water and how quickly the home can begin drying, often resulting in mold and microbial growth.

Fires happen in Jewell

Floods are not the only natural disaster to plague the small town, wildfires threaten to destroy some of the forestry of Jewell. In early September of 2021, a human-inflicted fire spread across private land and encroached on the nearby forest. With fast action from the Forestry Department and Fire Department, they were able to stop the spread and extinguish the fire. The effects of a fire in such a remote area can be detrimental to homes, even if unscathed by the fire itself, smoke damage can require extensive and professional cleaning.
