Signs to look for
When to call us for storm water removal
For the written restoration scope, 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
As our specialists document the loss, wind driven rain enters an opening at volume, not a trickle.
Shingles are missing and a ceiling is wet on the windward side
For the written restoration scope, wind lifts shingles and rain follows the same direction it came from. As our specialists document the loss, the wet ceiling is in many cases on the side the storm hit.
Siding, soffit or trim is torn loose and the wall inside feels damp
During our assessment, torn cladding gives sideways rain a direct path into the wall assembly.
A gable vent or attic vent took rain straight in
For the written restoration scope, vents are designed for air, not for horizontal water.
Water is standing at a threshold, in a window well or against the foundation
From the first moisture reading, 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 restoration specialists adjust the work to the areas and materials involved, the measured reach of the water, and the materials that can be saved.
Entry safety before anyone goes inside
From the first moisture reading, power to the impacted area goes off before anyone enters. For the written restoration scope, 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
As our specialists document the loss, 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 the written restoration scope, openings get covered and sealed so the next band of weather does not add a second loss.
The two water sources separated on paper
From the first moisture reading, rain that entered through a wind created opening and water that rose at grade are logged as different events.
High volume removal matched to each kind of water
From the first moisture reading, 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
As our specialists document the loss, sideways rain loads assemblies that look untouched from the room. During our assessment, we read them with a moisture meter and open what holds water.

How many openings have to be closed
From the first moisture reading, board up is priced per opening and tarping by roof area and pitch.Where the water came from
From the first moisture reading, clean rain through a breach is a straightforward drying job.Depth and area affected
As our specialists document the loss, 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
Storms commonly wet ceilings, walls and floors in the same room. Three assemblies mean three sets of readings and equipment on all of them.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
From the first moisture reading, yard debris, blown material and soaked contents go out as waste.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
Moisture can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
The next band of the storm uses the same opening
During our assessment, storms travel in lines and the second cell commonly arrives within hours. For the written restoration scope, an uncovered breach turns one loss into two, and the second one is harder to claim.
The entry point you did not find keeps working
For the written restoration scope, people close the obvious hole and miss the gable vent or the torn soffit.
Debris on the roof keeps loading it
For the written restoration scope, 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 the written restoration scope, rain in a ceiling is clean water.

Common questions
Questions about storm water removal
How much does storm flood water removal cost?
During our assessment, nationally, one level with rain through a breach in many cases runs about $2,500 to $8,000. As our specialists document the loss, storm flooding at grade with a flood cut in many cases runs $4,000 to $12,000.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm flooding?
From the first moisture reading, it depends on how the water got in. For the written restoration scope, 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?
During our assessment, wind damage is the broken opening and the rain that came through it. As our specialists document the loss, flood damage is water that arrived at grade level from outside.
Do you board up windows and tarp roofs, or is that someone else?
From the first moisture reading, 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?
For the written restoration scope, we walk every elevation and the roof line and list each opening before drying equipment is set. During our assessment, then we read walls and ceilings on the wind side with a moisture meter.
Is storm water contaminated?
As our specialists document the loss, it depends on the path it took. For the written restoration scope, rain that came straight through a roof or window is clean water at first.
Can I clean up the storm water myself?
