Signs to look for
When to call us for storm water removal
For a professional recovery, 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
With a durable result in mind, wind driven rain enters an opening at volume, not a trickle.
Shingles are missing and a ceiling is wet on the windward side
For a professional recovery, 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
Through an organized response, torn cladding gives sideways rain a direct path into the wall assembly.
A gable vent or attic vent took rain straight in
For a professional recovery, vents are designed for air, not for horizontal water.
Water is standing at a threshold, in a window well or against the foundation
As each stage is completed, that is water at grade rather than rain from above, and it is a different peril on your policy.
What happens
How we handle storm water removal
Our professional recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Entry safety before anyone goes inside
For a professional recovery, power to the affected area goes off before anyone enters.
A breach inventory of the whole building
With a durable result in mind, 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
For a professional recovery, openings get covered and sealed so the next band of weather does not add a second loss.
The two water sources separated on paper
Through an organized response, rain that entered through a wind created opening and water that rose at grade are documented as different events.
High volume removal matched to each kind of water
As each stage is completed, 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
With a durable result in mind, sideways rain loads assemblies that look untouched from the room. Through an organized response, we read them with a moisture meter and open what holds water.

How many openings have to be closed
As each stage is completed, board up is priced per opening and tarping by roof area and pitch.Where the water came from
As each stage is completed, clean rain through a breach is a straightforward drying job.Depth and area affected
With a durable result in mind, 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
As each stage is completed, storms often wet ceilings, walls and floors in the same room.Finished or unfinished space
As each stage is completed, bare block and slab clean up quickly.Storm debris and disposal volume
As each stage is completed, yard debris, blown material and soaked contents go out as waste.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
As each stage is completed, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
The next band of the storm uses the same opening
As each stage is completed, storms travel in lines and the second cell often arrives within hours.
The entry point you did not find keeps working
For a professional recovery, people close the obvious hole and miss the gable vent or the torn soffit.
Debris on the roof keeps loading it
For a professional recovery, 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
For a professional recovery, rain in a ceiling is clean water.
Helpful service information
What to know about storm water removal
Through an organized response, start with the short explanation. As each stage is completed, open a card if you want a little more detail.
What is happening inside the property
As each stage is completed, the first is wind driven rain, which is rain moving sideways fast enough to defeat details built for water falling down.
Read the explanation
With a durable result in mind, storms get water inside two completely different ways, and telling them apart is the whole job.
How the next step is decided
Through an organized response, board up covers broken glass and forced openings so the next band of rain stays outside.
Read the explanation
For a professional recovery, closing the building envelope is the part of storm work that saves the most money, and it has to happen first.
What may change the work
With a durable result in mind, a storm that wets flooring only is a light load.

Questions about storm water removal
How much does storm flood water removal cost?
Through an organized response, nationally, one level with rain through a breach usually runs about $2,500 to $8,000.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm flooding?
As each stage is completed, it depends on how the water got in. For a professional recovery, 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?
Through an organized response, wind damage is the broken opening and the rain that came through it. With a durable result in mind, flood damage is water that arrived at grade level from outside.
Do you board up windows and tarp roofs, or is that someone else?
As each stage is completed, 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?
As each stage is completed, we walk every elevation and the roof line and list each opening before drying starts.
Is storm water contaminated?
With a durable result in mind, it depends on the path it took. For a professional recovery, rain that came straight through a roof or window is clean water at first.
Can I clean up the storm water myself?
Through an organized response, you can handle a small amount of clean rain on a hard floor. Through an organized response, a shop vacuum handles about an inch and no more.
