Storm Water Removal and Drying in 11501
Storm Flooded Basement Cleanup
Storm water that floods a basement is pumped out, wet carpet and drywall are removed and the slab and walls are cleaned and dried.
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
Wind-driven rain soaks the windward side of a house first. Drying focuses on those walls, the window sills and the carpet along them.
Hail Damage Leak Cleanup
After a hailstorm, leaks may not show for days. Ceiling stains and wet insulation are checked and dried, and the damaged spots are noted for the roofer.
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
When siding is torn or cracked in a storm, rain gets into the wall. The inside is dried while the outside is covered until it can be repaired.
Emergency Roof Tarping
Torn or missing roof sections are covered with a heavy tarp so no more rain reaches the attic while the inside is dried.
How to Tell a Storm Let Water Inside
Mud or Debris Indoors
Mud, leaves or glass inside the house mean storm water came in from outside and floors need cleaning as well as drying.
Dented Vents and Skylights
Hail dents on roof vents, skylight frames or flashing can leave gaps where water gets in during the next storm.
Bubbling Paint on Exterior Walls
Paint that bubbles on the inside of an exterior wall after a storm points to water that got behind the siding.
Broken Windows or Doors
Any broken glass or damaged door lets rain and wind in. The opening needs to be covered before drying can work.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 11501
Step 1: Safety Check
Power to wet areas is shut off and damaged ceilings or broken glass are marked so no one gets hurt during the work.
Step 2: Extract the Water
Standing water is pulled from floors and carpet, and water above ceilings is drained so it does not keep dripping.
Step 3: Wind-Driven Rain Drying
Exterior walls that took wind-driven rain are checked with meters and opened where needed so the cavities can dry.
Step 4: Final Readings
When walls, floors and framing read dry, equipment is removed and repairs to the roof, windows and drywall can go ahead.
Common Causes of Storm Damage in 11501
Fallen Trees and Limbs
Branches and trees that fall on a house can open the roof or break windows, letting rain straight in.
Storm Runoff Into Basements
Heavy rain can raise the water around a house and push it through window wells, cracks and floor drains.
Wind-Driven Rain
Strong winds push rain sideways into window frames, vents and siding joints that keep out normal rain.
Flying Debris
Outdoor furniture, signs and branches carried by wind can break glass and doors and let rain into the home.
