Signs to look for

When to call us for storm water removal

For the written restoration scope, 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

During our assessment, that means multiple breaches or one breach feeding several paths.

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

As our specialists document the loss, wind driven rain enters an opening at volume, not a trickle.

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

For the written restoration scope, wind lifts shingles and rain follows the same direction it came from. As our specialists document the loss, the wet ceiling is in many cases on the side the storm hit.

Siding, soffit or trim is torn loose and the wall inside feels damp

During our assessment, torn cladding gives sideways rain a direct path into the wall assembly.

A gable vent or attic vent took rain straight in

For the written restoration scope, vents are designed for air, not for horizontal water.

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

From the first moisture reading, 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 specialists adjust the work to the areas and materials involved, the measured reach of the water, and the materials that can be saved.

Entry safety before anyone goes inside

From the first moisture reading, power to the impacted area goes off before anyone enters. For the written restoration scope, nobody reaches blindly into water or debris, because displaced snakes, rodents and insects shelter in exactly those places.

A breach inventory of the whole building

As our specialists document the loss, 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 the written restoration scope, 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 first moisture reading, rain that entered through a wind created opening and water that rose at grade are logged as different events.

High volume removal matched to each kind of water

From the first moisture reading, 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

As our specialists document the loss, sideways rain loads assemblies that look untouched from the room. During our assessment, we read them with a moisture meter and open what holds water.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We review with you the written restoration scope and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Emergency board up, per window or door opening	For the written restoration scope, national estimate per opening, materials and labor, on the first visit.	$75 to $250
Emergency board up and tarping to close a damaged building envelope	From the first moisture reading, national estimate for several openings plus a roof tarp. During our assessment, height and pitch drive the spread.	$500 to $2,500
Basement storm water pump out and extraction, water only	For the written restoration scope, 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 breach	From the first moisture reading, 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 disposal	From the first moisture reading, 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 outside	As our specialists document the loss, national estimate covering removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying.	$7 to $15 per square foot
Storm debris removal and disposal, per container load	From the first moisture reading, national estimate per container of storm debris, soaked material and unsalvageable contents.	$400 to $900
After hours or overnight dispatch charge	For the written restoration scope, national estimate for nights, weekends and holidays, billed once rather than per hour.	$100 to $400 nationally

How many openings have to be closed
From the first moisture reading, board up is priced per opening and tarping by roof area and pitch.
Where the water came from
From the first moisture reading, clean rain through a breach is a straightforward drying job.
Depth and area affected
As our specialists document the loss, 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
Storms commonly wet ceilings, walls and floors in the same room. Three assemblies mean three sets of readings and equipment on all of them.
Finished or unfinished space
Bare block and slab clean up without delay. Once flooring, framed walls, insulation and trim are involved, the job adds removal and rebuild.
Storm debris and disposal volume
From the first moisture reading, yard debris, blown material and soaked contents go out as waste.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Moisture can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

The next band of the storm uses the same opening

During our assessment, storms travel in lines and the second cell commonly arrives within hours. For the written restoration scope, an uncovered breach turns one loss into two, and the second one is harder to claim.

The entry point you did not find keeps working

For the written restoration scope, people close the obvious hole and miss the gable vent or the torn soffit.

Debris on the roof keeps loading it

For the written restoration scope, 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

For the written restoration scope, rain in a ceiling is clean water.

Helpful service information

What to know about storm water removal

First identify the short explanation. Open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the 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

Storms get water inside two completely different ways, and telling them apart is the whole job. The first is wind driven rain, which is rain moving sideways fast enough to defeat details built for water falling down.

How the next step is decided

During our assessment, board up covers broken glass and forced openings so the next band of rain stays outside.

Read the explanation

For the written restoration scope, 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

A storm that wets flooring only is a light load.

Read the explanation

The controlled drying strategy changes with how many assemblies got wet. 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?

During our assessment, nationally, one level with rain through a breach in many cases runs about $2,500 to $8,000. As our specialists document the loss, storm flooding at grade with a flood cut in many cases runs $4,000 to $12,000.

Does homeowners insurance cover storm flooding?

From the first moisture reading, it depends on how the water got in. For the written restoration scope, 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?

During our assessment, wind damage is the broken opening and the rain that came through it. As our specialists document the loss, flood damage is water that arrived at grade level from outside.

Do you board up windows and tarp roofs, or is that someone else?

From the first moisture reading, 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?

For the written restoration scope, we walk every elevation and the roof line and list each opening before drying equipment is set. During our assessment, then we read walls and ceilings on the wind side with a moisture meter.

Is storm water contaminated?

As our specialists document the loss, it depends on the path it took. For the written restoration scope, rain that came straight through a roof or window is clean water at first.

Can I clean up the storm water myself?

During our assessment, you can handle a small amount of clean rain on a hard floor. During our assessment, a shop vacuum handles about an inch and no more.
