Signs to look for
When to call us for storm water removal
From damage control through drying, 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
For an accountable recovery, wind driven rain enters an opening at volume, not a trickle.
Shingles are missing and a ceiling is wet on the windward side
From damage control through drying, wind lifts shingles and rain follows the same direction it came from. For an accountable recovery, the wet ceiling is usually on the side the storm hit.
Siding, soffit or trim is torn loose and the wall inside feels damp
With clear job steps, torn cladding gives sideways rain a direct path into the wall assembly.
A gable vent or attic vent took rain straight in
From damage control through drying, 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 work stage is verified, 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

Entry safety before anyone goes inside

A breach inventory of the whole building
For an accountable recovery, 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
From damage control through 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
With clear job steps, 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 work stage is verified, 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
For an accountable recovery, sideways rain loads assemblies that look untouched from the room. With clear job steps, we read them with a moisture meter and open what holds water.
