Raccoon River Flood Damage

Water damage is not one job. Flood water from a river or creek, a sump that cannot keep up, a supply line inside a wall and a washer that overflowed under the floor each need a different first step and a different check. The service pages separate them so you can find the one that matches your loss.
Every service follows the same measured method once the water is removed: readings, a dry level, a logged drying plan and a written record for your insurer. The pages differ in where the water came from and what the crew looks for first.

Creek flood water arrives fast and leaves quickly, but the moisture it leaves in walls and floors stays.
Standing water is pumped or extracted first, in a way that protects the walls and the people in the building.
Rain that enters a basement through walls, floor joints or window wells needs fast removal and a measured dry.
When a sump pit overflows or stops, the basement floor takes the water, and the drying starts after the pump is fixed.
Sewage that comes up through drains is handled as contaminated water, with its own safety steps and its own cleanup.
Shut off the main, then remove the water and dry the structure to measured levels.
Shut off the heater and the water first, then remove the water and dry the surrounding structure.
Washer, dishwasher and ice maker leaks are water damage to floors and walls, not only a repair.
Ceilings and walls are opened and dried so the water left behind the drywall is found, not just the stain.
A damp spot that does not dry is traced to its source with readings, before the wall is closed.
Air movers and dehumidifiers run until moisture readings show the walls, floors and framing have dried.
Crawl spaces and basements that took in water are measured for moisture before anything is rebuilt above them.
Mold found after a water loss is removed once the structure is dry, and the moisture behind it is fixed first.
Wind-opened roofs let rain into attics and ceilings, and the water is traced, removed and dried.
Shops, offices and warehouses get the same measured drying and written record as homes, with a plan for getting back open.
Photos, moisture logs and a written scope are kept on every visit, so the insurer and the crew see the same facts.

Start with the page for the place it came from: the basement, the wall, the floor or the outside. If you cannot tell, call. The first question on the line sorts the source and points to the right service.
Yes. Sewage water is handled as contaminated, with protective equipment, removal of porous materials and sanitizing. The sewer backup page explains the steps.
Yes. A flood can bring water to the lower level, the wall cavity and the subfloor at once. The crew plans the work in stages, and the written scope shows which stage is which.
