Signs to look for
When to call us for storm water removal
As the home starts over, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
A window is broken or a door was forced open by wind
On the way back to normal, wind driven rain enters an opening at volume, not a trickle.
Shingles are missing and a ceiling is wet on the windward side
As the home starts over, wind lifts shingles and rain follows the same direction it came from.
Siding, soffit or trim is torn loose and the wall inside feels damp
For a clean slate, torn cladding gives sideways rain a direct path into the wall assembly.
A gable vent or attic vent took rain straight in
As the home starts over, vents are designed for air, not for horizontal water.
Water is standing at a threshold, in a window well or against the foundation
To put this behind you, that is water at grade instead of rain from above, and it is a different peril on your policy.
What happens
How we work through storm water removal
Our fresh-start team adjusts the work to what ended up wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Entry safety before anyone goes inside
On the way back to normal, power to the disrupted area goes off before anyone enters. As the home starts over, nobody reaches blindly into water or debris, because displaced snakes, rodents and insects shelter in exactly those places.
A breach inventory of the whole building
On the way back to normal, we walk every elevation and the roof line and list each opening: roof breach, broken window, torn siding, failed soffit, gable vent, garage door.
Emergency board up and tarping to close the envelope
As the home starts over, openings get covered and sealed so the next band of weather does not add a second loss.
The two water sources separated on paper
To put this behind you, rain that entered through a wind created opening and water that rose at grade are put on the record as different events.
High volume removal matched to each kind of water
To put this behind you, submersible pumps move the bulk from a flooded level and a truck mounted extractor pulls water from carpet and hard floors.
Ceilings, walls and insulation on the wind side opened and read
On the way back to normal, sideways rain loads assemblies that look untouched from the room. For a clean slate, we read them with a moisture meter and open what holds water.

How many openings have to be closed
To put this behind you, board up is priced per opening and tarping by roof area and pitch.Where the water came from
Clean rain through a breach is a straightforward drying job. Water that rose off the ground adds cleaning, disinfection and disposal to every disrupted room.Depth and area affected
On the way back to normal, a wet room on the wind side is a different job from a lower level with a foot of water.How many assemblies are wet
To put this behind you, storms often wet ceilings, walls and floors in the same room.Finished or unfinished space
Bare block and slab clean up without delay. Once flooring, framed walls, insulation and trim are involved, the job adds removal and rebuild.Storm debris and disposal volume
To put this behind you, yard debris, blown material and soaked contents go out as waste.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
To put this behind you, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
The next band of the storm uses the same opening
To put this behind you, storms travel in lines and the second cell often arrives within hours.
The entry point you did not find keeps working
As the home starts over, people close the obvious hole and miss the gable vent or the torn soffit.
Debris on the roof keeps loading it
As the home starts over, limbs and blown material hold water and add weight to an already damaged deck.
One storm brings two kinds of water and they cannot be treated alike
As the home starts over, rain in a ceiling is clean water.

Questions about storm water removal
How much does storm flood water removal cost?
For a clean slate, nationally, one level with rain through a breach usually runs about $2,500 to $8,000.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm flooding?
To put this behind you, it depends on how the water got in. As the home starts over, rain entering through an opening the wind made is normally covered by your homeowners policy.
What is the difference between wind damage and flood damage on my claim?
For a clean slate, wind damage is the broken opening and the rain that came through it. On the way back to normal, flood damage is water that arrived at grade level from outside.
Do you board up windows and tarp roofs, or is that someone else?
To put this behind you, we do emergency board up and tarping as part of the water job, because leaving the building open costs you a second loss.
How do you know you found every place the water came in?
To put this behind you, we walk every elevation and the roof line and list each opening before drying starts.
Is storm water contaminated?
On the way back to normal, it depends on the path it took. As the home starts over, rain that came straight through a roof or window is clean water at first.
Can I clean up the storm water myself?
For a clean slate, you can handle a small amount of clean rain on a hard floor. For a clean slate, a shop vacuum handles about an inch and no more.
