Signs to keep an eye out for

When to call us for storm water removal

Before we get to work, 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

Once we are on the job site, that tells you multiple breaches or one breach feeding a few paths. To straighten this out, mention every room when you call, even the ones that only have a small mark.

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

To straighten this out, wind driven rain enters an opening at volume, not a trickle.

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

Before we get to work, wind lifts shingles and rain follows the same direction it came from. Before we get to work, the wet ceiling is as a rule on the side the storm hit.

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

In plain words, torn cladding gives sideways rain a direct path into the wall assembly.

A gable vent or attic vent took rain straight in

Before we get to work, vents are designed for air, not for horizontal water.

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

Once we are on the job site, that is water at grade rather than rain from above, and it is a different peril on your policy.

What happens

How we take on storm water removal

Our hands-on restoration team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Entry safety before anyone goes inside

Once we are on the job site, power to the area that got wet goes off before anyone enters. To straighten this out, nobody reaches blindly into water or debris, since displaced snakes, rodents and insects shelter in exactly those places.

A breach inventory of the whole building

To straighten this out, 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

Before we get to work, openings get covered and sealed so the next band of weather does not add a second loss.

The two water sources separated on paper

In plain words, 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

Once we are on the job site, 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

To straighten this out, sideways rain loads assemblies that look untouched from the room. In plain words, we read them with a moisture meter and open what holds water.

What to expect

What to expect from our hands-on restoration team

Here is how we as a rule handle storm water removal near Louisiana.

  1. 1

    You call and we ask how the water got in

    Before we get to work, roof, window, wall, door or up from the ground, and whether it is still coming in.

    Your call
  2. 2

    Safety instructions for the wait

    In plain words, stay out of water left standing and away from downed limbs and wires.

    +10 minutes
  3. 3

    A crew is dispatched with covering materials and pumps

    Once we are on the job site, board up stock, tarp, submersible pumps and extraction gear travel on the same truck.

    +15 minutes
  4. 4

    Hazard sweep and the breach inventory

    Before we get to work, power is confirmed off, hazards are marked, and we walk the building to list every opening.

    On arrival
  5. 5

    The building gets closed up

    Once we are on the job site, openings are boarded or tarped so the next band of rain stays outside.

    First hour on site
  6. 6

    Water down, debris out

    Once we are on the job site, pumping and extraction run alongside removal of storm debris and sediment.

    First hours on site

    Composite bases on the wind side come out

    To straighten this out, 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 spell out the recommended work and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the price breakdown.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Emergency board up, per window or door openingNational price breakdown per opening, materials and labor, on the first visit.$75 to $250
Emergency board up and tarping to close a damaged building envelopeNational price breakdown for a few openings plus a roof tarp. Height and pitch drive the spread.$500 to $2,500
Basement storm water pump out and extraction, water onlyNational price breakdown 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 breachNational price breakdown 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 disposalNational price breakdown including removal, cleaning, disinfection, disposal and drying.$4,000 to $12,000
Storm water cleanup priced by affected area, water that came from outsideNational price breakdown covering removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying.$7 to $15 per square foot
Storm debris removal and disposal, per container loadNational price breakdown per container of storm debris, soaked material and unsalvageable contents.$400 to $900
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeNational price breakdown for nights, weekends and holidays, billed once rather than per hour.$100 to $400 nationally
  • How many openings have to be closed
    Once we are on the job site, board up is priced per opening and tarping by roof area and pitch.

  • Where the water came from
    Once we are on the job site, clean rain through a breach is a straightforward drying job.

  • Depth and area affected
    To straighten this out, 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 frequently 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
    Once we are on the job site, bare block and slab clean up quickly.

  • Storm debris and disposal volume
    Once we are on the job site, yard debris, blown material and soaked contents go out as waste.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Once we are on the job site, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

The next band of the storm uses the same opening

Storms travel in lines and the second cell frequently turns up within hours. 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

Before we get to work, people close the obvious hole and miss the gable vent or the torn soffit.

Debris on the roof keeps loading it

Before we get to work, 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

Before we get to work, rain in a ceiling is clean water.

Helpful service information

What to know about storm water removal

In plain words, start with the short explanation. Once we are on the job site, 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

In plain words, board up covers broken glass and forced openings so the next band of rain stays outside.

Read the explanation

Before we get to work, 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

To straighten this out, a storm that wets flooring only is a light load.

Read the explanation

Before we get to work, the drying plan changes with how many assemblies got wet. To straighten this out, 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?

Once we are on the job site, nationally, one level with rain through a breach as a rule runs about $2,500 to $8,000. To straighten this out, storm flooding at grade with a flood cut typically runs $4,000 to $12,000.

Does homeowners insurance cover storm flooding?

Once we are on the job site, it depends on how the water got in. Before we get to work, 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?

In plain words, wind damage is the broken opening and the rain that came through it. To straighten this out, flood damage is water that arrived at grade level from outside.

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

In plain words, we do emergency board up and tarping as part of the water job, since leaving the building open costs you a second loss.

How do you know you found every place the water came in?

Once we are on the job site, we walk every elevation and the roof line and list each opening before drying starts. In plain words, then we read walls and ceilings on the wind side with a moisture meter.

Is storm water contaminated?

To straighten this out, it depends on the path it took. Before we get to work, rain that came straight through a roof or window is clean water at first.

Can I clean up the storm water myself?

In plain words, you can handle a small amount of clean rain on a hard floor. In plain words, a shop vacuum handles about an inch and no more.
