Signs to look for
When to call us for storm water removal
For a clear turnaround, 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
Along the recovery roadmap, 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 clear turnaround, wind lifts shingles and rain follows the same direction it came from. Along the recovery roadmap, the wet ceiling is usually on the side the storm hit.
Siding, soffit or trim is torn loose and the wall inside feels damp
As the property moves toward recovery, torn cladding gives sideways rain a direct path into the wall assembly.
A gable vent or attic vent took rain straight in
For a clear turnaround, vents are designed for air, not for horizontal water.
Water is standing at a threshold, in a window well or against the foundation
With each visible step, 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 recovery crew 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 clear turnaround, power to the affected area goes off before anyone enters.
A breach inventory of the whole building
Along the recovery roadmap, 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 clear turnaround, openings get covered and sealed so the next band of weather does not add a second loss.
The two water sources separated on paper
As the property moves toward recovery, 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
With each visible step, 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
Along the recovery roadmap, sideways rain loads assemblies that look untouched from the room. As the property moves toward recovery, we read them with a moisture meter and open what holds water.

How many openings have to be closed
With each visible step, board up is priced per opening and tarping by roof area and pitch.Where the water came from
With each visible step, clean rain through a breach is a straightforward drying job.Depth and area affected
Along the recovery roadmap, 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
With each visible step, storms often wet ceilings, walls and floors in the same room.Finished or unfinished space
With each visible step, bare block and slab clean up quickly. For a clear turnaround, once flooring, framed walls, insulation and trim are involved, the job adds removal and rebuild.Storm debris and disposal volume

Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
With each visible step, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
The next band of the storm uses the same opening
With each visible step, storms travel in lines and the second cell often arrives within hours.
The entry point you did not find keeps working
For a clear turnaround, people close the obvious hole and miss the gable vent or the torn soffit.
Debris on the roof keeps loading it

Read the explanation
Along the recovery roadmap, storms get water inside two completely different ways, and telling them apart is the whole job.
How the next step is decided
As the property moves toward recovery, board up covers broken glass and forced openings so the next band of rain stays outside.
Read the explanation
For a clear turnaround, 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
Along the recovery roadmap, a storm that wets flooring only is a light load.

Questions about storm water removal
How much does storm flood water removal cost?
As the property moves toward recovery, nationally, one level with rain through a breach usually runs about $2,500 to $8,000.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm flooding?
With each visible step, it depends on how the water got in. For a clear turnaround, 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?
As the property moves toward recovery, wind damage is the broken opening and the rain that came through it.
Do you board up windows and tarp roofs, or is that someone else?
With each visible step, 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?
With each visible step, we walk every elevation and the roof line and list each opening before drying starts.
Is storm water contaminated?
Along the recovery roadmap, it depends on the path it took. For a clear turnaround, rain that came straight through a roof or window is clean water at first.
Can I clean up the storm water myself?
As the property moves toward recovery, you can handle a small amount of clean rain on a hard floor.
