Hurricanes, flash floods, and storm surge demand a different response than a burst pipe. Searching flood restoration near me? You want crews that handle board-up, roof tarping, and mud removal. Not just drying. Our certified teams do all of it, 24/7.

Storm jobs start outside the home and work inward. We secure the structure first, then remove water and debris, then dry and rebuild. Every job includes:
Need help this minute? Our emergency water removal teams dispatch around the clock.
Each storm type damages homes in its own way. We match the response to the storm.
Wind and water strike together. Roofs lose shingles, trees crash through walls, and rain enters for hours. We tarp roofs, board up openings, and handle both wind and water damage in one job. Our fire and water damage restoration crews coordinate when storms cause both types of loss.
Rivers, creeks, and storm drains overflow in minutes. Muddy water carries debris through doors and windows. We extract the water, shovel out mud, and strip contaminated materials before mold takes hold. Speed matters most here.
Ocean water pushes inland during coastal storms. Saltwater corrodes metal, ruins wiring, and soaks deep into framing. We treat surge jobs as severe contamination cases and document everything for your flood insurance claim.
After a storm, your home sits open to the sky. Every hour of exposure adds damage. Our board-up crews secure the building the same day you call.
Rain looks clean. Stormwater is not. Floodwater picks up sewage, gasoline, pesticides, and bacteria as it flows over land. The IICRC classifies it as Category 3, the same class as sewage backups.
That changes the cleanup. We cannot dry and reuse materials that touched stormwater. Porous materials like carpet, pad, and lower drywall get removed and replaced. Hard surfaces get cleaned and disinfected with hospital-grade antimicrobials.
Do not wade through stormwater without boots and gloves. It can carry bacteria that infect cuts and cause serious illness.
Stormwater recedes and leaves a mess. Inches of silt coat floors. Branches, trash, and ruined belongings block every room. Wet mud weighs over 100 pounds per cubic foot, so hand removal takes time and muscle.
We shovel and haul mud from every affected area. We separate salvageable items from ruined ones. Once crews clear the mess, they sanitize every hard surface that touched the water.
Your belongings may survive if we pack them out fast. Our content and furniture restoration teams clean and store what storms soak.
Step 1: Emergency board-up. We secure windows, doors, and roofs within hours of your call.
Step 2: Water extraction. Pumps and truck-mounted vacuums remove standing water from every level.
Step 3: Mud and debris removal. Crews clear silt, wreckage, and ruined materials from the home.
Step 4: Contaminated material removal. Anything stormwater soaked beyond saving comes out, including low drywall and flooring.
Step 5: Drying and sanitizing. Air movers and dehumidifiers dry framing and subfloors. Antimicrobials kill bacteria and mold spores.
Step 6: Rebuild. We replace drywall, flooring, and finishes so your home looks like the storm never hit.
We document moisture readings and photos at every step. That file powers your claim.
Standard homeowners insurance almost never covers storm flooding. You need separate flood insurance, usually through the National Flood Insurance Program. FEMA runs the NFIP and publishes claim guides for flood victims.
Stormwater can hide mold behind walls within days. Our mold remediation teams inspect and treat before growth spreads.
Storm jobs usually run $2,000 to $10,000. Floodwater is Category 3, so contaminated material needs removal and replacement. That raises cost over a clean pipe burst. We give you a written scope before any work starts.
FEMA grants can help with emergency needs after a presidential disaster declaration, but they rarely cover full restoration. If you carry NFIP flood insurance, your policy handles most repair costs. We document everything so your claim stays clean.
No. Waiting lets mold grow and water spread. Take detailed photos and video first, then let mitigation start. Our documentation meets adjuster standards, and most insurers require you to prevent further damage.
Most homes need 3 to 7 days of active drying after storm flooding. Deep saturation from storm surge can take longer. We check moisture daily with meters until every material reads dry.
Yes. Board-up crews and roof tarping are our first move after hurricanes and severe storms. We seal broken windows, missing shingles, and damaged roof sections so rain cannot enter. Then we start interior cleanup.
Board-up crews dispatch 24/7. Every hour of exposure adds damage.
