Signs to look for
When to call us for storm water removal
Our restoration team explains it this way: 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
To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: Wind driven rain enters an opening at volume, not a trickle.
Shingles are missing and a ceiling is wet on the windward side
As we walk you through the work, we clarify this: 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
Here is what this means for your property: Torn cladding gives sideways rain a direct path into the wall assembly.
A gable vent or attic vent took rain straight in
Our restoration team explains it this way: Vents are designed for air, not for horizontal water.
Water is standing at a threshold, in a window well or against the foundation
We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: 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 team adjusts the work to what you can see is wet, where the water reached, and the materials that can be saved.
Entry safety before anyone goes inside
To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: Power to the room touched by water goes off before anyone enters.
A breach inventory of the whole building
As we walk you through the work, we clarify this: 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
A clear recovery plan starts with this detail: Openings get covered and sealed so the next band of weather does not add a second loss.
The two water sources separated on paper
We make this part easier to understand: Rain that entered through a wind created opening and water that rose at grade are noted in the job record as different events.
High volume removal matched to each kind of water
We make this part easier to understand: 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
We use this detail to guide the recovery plan: Sideways rain loads assemblies that look untouched from the room.

| Emergency board up and tarping to close a damaged building envelope | We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: National estimate for several openings plus a roof tarp. | $500 to $2,500 |

| After hours or overnight dispatch charge | A clear recovery plan starts with this detail: National estimate for nights, weekends and holidays, billed once rather than per hour. | $100 to $400 nationally |
How many openings have to be closed
We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: Board up is priced per opening and tarping by roof area and pitch.Where the water came from
Here is what this means for your property: Clean rain through a breach is a straightforward drying job.Depth and area affected
Our team uses this point to organize the work: 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
We use this detail to guide the recovery plan: Storms many times wet ceilings, walls and floors in the same room.Finished or unfinished space
Our restoration team explains it this way: Bare block and slab clean up soon.Storm debris and disposal volume
We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: Yard debris, blown material and soaked contents go out as waste.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
Before we move forward, we help you understand this: Water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
The next band of the storm uses the same opening
To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: Storms travel in lines and the second cell many times arrives within hours.
The entry point you did not find keeps working
Our restoration team uses this point to organize the work: People close the obvious hole and miss the gable vent or the torn soffit.
Debris on the roof keeps loading it
Our restoration team explains it this way: 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
A clear recovery plan starts with this detail: Rain in a ceiling is clean water.

A clear recovery plan starts with this detail: Begin by noting the short explanation. Before we move forward, we help you understand this: Open a card if you want a little more detail.
What is happening inside the property
Here is what this means for your property: The first is wind driven rain, which is rain moving sideways fast enough to defeat details built for water falling down.
Read the explanation
As we walk you through the work, we clarify this: Storms get water inside two completely different ways, and telling them apart is the whole job.
How the next step is decided
Before we move forward, we help you understand this: Board up covers broken glass and forced openings so the next band of rain stays outside.
Read the explanation
Our restoration team explains it this way: Closing the building envelope is the part of storm work that saves the most money, and it has to happen first.
What can sometimes change the work
We use this detail to guide the recovery plan: A storm that wets flooring only is a light load.
Read the explanation

Questions about storm water removal
How much does storm flood water removal cost?
We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: Nationally, one level with rain through a breach generally runs about $2,500 to $8,000.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm flooding?
Before we move forward, we help you understand this: It depends on how the water got in. To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: 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?
Our monitored-drying plan is based on this: 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?
Before we move forward, we help you understand this: 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?
Our monitored-drying plan is based on this: We walk every elevation and the roof line and list each opening before drying starts.
Is storm water contaminated?
A clear recovery plan starts with this detail: It depends on the path it took. As we walk you through the work, we clarify this: Rain that came straight through a roof or window is clean water at first.
Can I clean up the storm water myself?
We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: You can handle a small amount of clean rain on a hard floor.
