Signs to look for

When to call us for storm water removal

As moisture readings guide drying, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

Water appeared in two or more separate places

From the source check, that means multiple breaches or one breach feeding several paths.

A window is broken or a door was forced open by wind

Through the final dry check, wind driven rain enters an opening at volume, not a trickle.

Shingles are missing and a ceiling is wet on the windward side

As moisture readings guide drying, 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

From the source check, torn cladding gives sideways rain a direct path into the wall assembly.

A gable vent or attic vent took rain straight in

As moisture readings guide drying, vents are designed for air, not for horizontal water.

Water is standing at a threshold, in a window well or against the foundation

To control the wet boundary, 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 water-damage technicians adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Entry safety before anyone goes inside

As moisture readings guide drying, power to the affected area goes off before anyone enters.

A breach inventory of the whole building

Through the final dry check, 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 moisture readings guide drying, 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 source check, 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

To control the wet boundary, 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

Through the final dry check, sideways rain loads assemblies that look untouched from the room. From the source check, we read them with a moisture meter and open what holds water.

Where the water came from
To control the wet boundary, clean rain through a breach is a straightforward drying job.
Depth and area affected
Through the final dry check, 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 control the wet boundary, storms often wet ceilings, walls and floors in the same room.
Finished or unfinished space
To control the wet boundary, bare block and slab clean up quickly.
Storm debris and disposal volume

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

To control the wet boundary, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

The next band of the storm uses the same opening

To control the wet boundary, storms travel in lines and the second cell often arrives within hours.

The entry point you did not find keeps working

As moisture readings guide drying, people close the obvious hole and miss the gable vent or the torn soffit.

Debris on the roof keeps loading it

As moisture readings guide drying, 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 moisture readings guide drying, rain in a ceiling is clean water.

Helpful service information

What to know about storm water removal

From the source check, start with the short explanation. To control the wet boundary, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

To control the wet boundary, the first is wind driven rain, which is rain moving sideways fast enough to defeat details built for water falling down.

Read the explanation

Through the final dry check, storms get water inside two completely different ways, and telling them apart is the whole job.

How the next step is decided

From the source check, board up covers broken glass and forced openings so the next band of rain stays outside.

Read the explanation

As moisture readings guide drying, 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

Through the final dry check, a storm that wets flooring only is a light load.

Read the explanation

As moisture readings guide drying, the drying plan changes with how many assemblies got wet. Through the final dry check, a storm that wets flooring only is a light load.

Common questions

Questions about storm water removal

How much does storm flood water removal cost?

From the source check, nationally, one level with rain through a breach usually runs about $2,500 to $8,000.

Does homeowners insurance cover storm flooding?

To control the wet boundary, it depends on how the water got in. As moisture readings guide drying, 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?

From the source check, wind damage is the broken opening and the rain that came through it. Through the final dry check, 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 control the wet boundary, 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 control the wet boundary, we walk every elevation and the roof line and list each opening before drying starts.

Is storm water contaminated?

Through the final dry check, it depends on the path it took. As moisture readings guide drying, rain that came straight through a roof or window is clean water at first.

Can I clean up the storm water myself?

From the source check, you can handle a small amount of clean rain on a hard floor. From the source check, a shop vacuum handles about an inch and no more.
