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.

Water appeared in two or more separate places

We make this part easier to understand: That means multiple breaches or one breach feeding several paths.

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.

    Water down, debris out

    We make this part easier to understand: Pumping and extraction run alongside removal of storm debris and sediment.

    First hours on site
  7. 7

    We use this detail to guide the recovery plan: Padding, saturated insulation and swollen composite cabinet and vanity bases come out, photographed on the way to the container.

    Same day or next

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: We explain in plain language the recommended restoration steps and price before you approve the job. We make this part easier to understand: These examples show what can sometimes change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Emergency board up, per window or door openingA clear recovery plan starts with this detail: National estimate per opening, materials and labor, on the first visit.$75 to $250
Emergency board up and tarping to close a damaged building envelopeWe keep the next decision simple by explaining this: National estimate for several openings plus a roof tarp.$500 to $2,500
Basement storm water pump out and extraction, water onlyWe use this detail to guide the recovery plan: National estimate for removal without demolition, same band as any outdoor water pump out.$600 to $2,500
Storm water removal and drying, one level, rain through a breachFor a calmer next step, remember this: National estimate for clean rain in ceilings, walls and flooring with three to five drying days.$2,500 to $8,000
Storm flooding at grade, one level with a flood cut and disposalWe keep the next decision simple by explaining this: National estimate including removal, cleaning, disinfection, disposal and drying.$4,000 to $12,000
Storm water cleanup priced by affected area, water that came from outsideOur restoration team explains it this way: National estimate covering removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying.$7 to $15 per square foot
Storm debris removal and disposal, per container loadBefore we move forward, we help you understand this: National estimate per container of storm debris, soaked material and unsalvageable contents.$400 to $900
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeA 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.

Helpful service information

What to know about storm water removal

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

We use this detail to guide the recovery plan: The drying plan changes with how many assemblies got wet.

Common questions

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.
