Where is Windsor Heights in the metro?
Windsor Heights sits on the west side of Des Moines, about seventeen kilometers from the anchor point. It is close to Clive and Urbandale, and a crew covering the western suburbs can reach it on the same run. The distance is noted for planning, and the method stays the same.
Its position on the western side of the metro means it shares the edge of the city with the Des Moines ZIPs, so a call can come from a building on either side of a boundary. The crew confirms the address before it plans the route.
Which parts of a house take water first in this area?
The lowest part of the house takes water first. In a home with a basement, that means the floor drain, the sump, the wall base and the window wells. In a home on a slab, it can mean the threshold, the wall at ground level and any room with a floor drain.
Once the first point of entry is known, the crew measures the materials nearby. A wet wall base means the framing needs measuring. A wet subfloor means the joists below it need checking as well.
Why do readings matter more than surface checks?
A floor can look dry while the wood under the finish holds moisture. A wall can look dry while the cavity behind the drywall stays wet. The meter finds those moisture pockets, and the crew uses the readings to decide what to open.
The readings are written on a log that is checked on every visit. The drying is finished when the readings show the structure has reached the dry level set on the first day, not when the room smells better.
What does a homeowner need to decide early?
The first decisions are about safety and the water source. Once those are settled, the homeowner decides with the crew which items to keep, which to clean and which to remove. Those choices are written into the scope and signed where the homeowner agrees.
A homeowner should also decide early who will repair the source, such as a plumber for a supply line or a roofer for an opening. The timing of that repair affects when the walls can be closed up.

FAQ
Windsor Heights FAQs
Is Windsor Heights served from Ankeny?
Calls from Windsor Heights are answered from the same phone line as the rest of the service area, at any hour. Give your street address and ZIP 50324 so the crew can confirm the location.
Why does a crawl space here smell even after it was pumped?
Moisture can stay in the joists and the soil under the house after standing water is gone. The smell usually fades as the framing dries. Readings show when the space has reached the dry level.
Can the crew check my neighbor's wall too?
The crew works on the property where it is called to work, and it does not inspect a neighbor's home. If water is moving between properties, the crew explains what it sees and how the source might be checked.
What happens to the drying if it rains again?
Rain can slow the drying if it finds a new entry point. The crew checks the source again and adjusts the plan. A new leak is recorded as its own event in the log.
Do you clean up after the drying is finished?
The crew removes its equipment and the materials it took out, and it leaves the site as it was found, apart from the opened areas. Rebuilding is a separate job for a contractor you choose.
