Signs to look for
When to call us for storm water removal
As materials are evaluated, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
A window is broken or a door was forced open by wind
Across the affected building area, wind driven rain enters an opening at volume, not a trickle.
Shingles are missing and a ceiling is wet on the windward side
As materials are evaluated, wind lifts shingles and rain follows the same direction it came from. Across the affected building area, the wet ceiling is usually on the side the storm hit.
Siding, soffit or trim is torn loose and the wall inside feels damp
From the building building assessment, torn cladding gives sideways rain a direct path into the wall assembly.
A gable vent or attic vent took rain straight in
As materials are evaluated, vents are designed for air, not for horizontal water.
Water is standing at a threshold, in a window well or against the foundation
For sound structural recovery, that is water at grade rather than rain from above, and it is a different peril on your policy.
What happens
How we handle storm water removal
Our building recovery 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
As materials are evaluated, power to the affected area goes off before anyone enters.
A breach inventory of the whole building
Across the affected building area, 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
As materials are evaluated, openings get covered and sealed so the next band of weather does not add a second loss.
The two water sources separated on paper
From the building building assessment, 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
For sound structural recovery, 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
Across the affected building area, sideways rain loads assemblies that look untouched from the room. From the building building assessment, we read them with a moisture meter and open what holds water.

What to expect
What to expect from our building recovery team
For sound structural recovery, here is how we usually handle storm water removal near Connecticut.
-
1
You call and we ask how the water got in
As materials are evaluated, roof, window, wall, door or up from the ground, and whether it is still coming in.
Your call -
2
Safety instructions for the wait
As materials are evaluated, stay out of standing water and away from downed limbs and wires.
+10 minutes -
3
A crew is dispatched with covering materials and pumps
For sound structural recovery, board up stock, tarp, submersible pumps and extraction gear travel on the same truck.
+15 minutes -
4
Hazard sweep and the breach inventory
As materials are evaluated, power is confirmed off, hazards are marked, and we walk the building to list every opening.
On arrival -
5
The building gets closed up
For sound structural recovery, openings are boarded or tarped so the next band of rain stays outside.
First hour on site -
6
Water down, debris out
For sound structural recovery, pumping and extraction run alongside removal of storm debris and sediment. From the building building assessment, getting the volume down is what stops the damage spreading into dry rooms.
First hours on site -
7
Composite bases on the wind side come out
Across the affected building area, 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
As materials are evaluated, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As materials are evaluated, these examples show what may change the estimate.
| Common situation | What the estimate may include | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency board up, per window or door opening | As materials are evaluated, national estimate per opening, materials and labor, on the first visit. | $75 to $250 |
| Emergency board up and tarping to close a damaged building envelope | For sound structural recovery, national estimate for several openings plus a roof tarp. From the building assessment, height and pitch drive the spread. | $500 to $2,500 |
| Basement storm water pump out and extraction, water only | As materials are evaluated, national estimate 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 breach | For sound structural recovery, national estimate 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 disposal | For sound structural recovery, national estimate including removal, cleaning, disinfection, disposal and drying. | $4,000 to $12,000 |
| Storm water cleanup priced by affected area, water that came from outside | Across the affected building area, national estimate covering removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying. | $7 to $15 per square foot |
| Storm debris removal and disposal, per container load | For sound structural recovery, national estimate per container of storm debris, soaked material and unsalvageable contents. | $400 to $900 |
| After hours or overnight dispatch charge | As materials are evaluated, national estimate for nights, weekends and holidays, billed once rather than per hour. | $100 to $400 nationally |
How many openings have to be closed
For sound structural recovery, board up is priced per opening and tarping by roof area and pitch.Where the water came from
For sound structural recovery, clean rain through a breach is a straightforward drying job.Depth and area affected
Across the affected building area, 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
For sound structural recovery, storms often wet ceilings, walls and floors in the same room.Finished or unfinished space
For sound structural recovery, bare block and slab clean up quickly. As materials are evaluated, once flooring, framed walls, insulation and trim are involved, the job adds removal and rebuild.Storm debris and disposal volume
For sound structural recovery, yard debris, blown material and soaked contents go out as waste.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
For sound structural recovery, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
The next band of the storm uses the same opening
For sound structural recovery, storms travel in lines and the second cell often arrives within hours.
The entry point you did not find keeps working
As materials are evaluated, people close the obvious hole and miss the gable vent or the torn soffit.
Debris on the roof keeps loading it
As materials are evaluated, 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
As materials are evaluated, rain in a ceiling is clean water.
Helpful service information
What to know about storm water removal
From the building assessment, start with the short explanation. For sound structural recovery, open a card if you want a little more detail.
What is happening inside the property
For sound structural recovery, the first is wind driven rain, which is rain moving sideways fast enough to defeat details built for water falling down.
Read the explanation
Across the affected building area, storms get water inside two completely different ways, and telling them apart is the whole job.
How the next step is decided
From the building assessment, board up covers broken glass and forced openings so the next band of rain stays outside.
Read the explanation
As materials are evaluated, 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
Across the affected building area, a storm that wets flooring only is a light load.
Read the explanation
As materials are evaluated, the drying plan changes with how many assemblies got wet. Across the affected building area, a storm that wets flooring only is a light load.

Questions about storm water removal
How much does storm flood water removal cost?
From the building building assessment, nationally, one level with rain through a breach usually runs about $2,500 to $8,000.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm flooding?
For sound structural recovery, it depends on how the water got in. As materials are evaluated, 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?
From the building building assessment, wind damage is the broken opening and the rain that came through it. Across the affected building area, flood damage is water that arrived at grade level from outside.
Do you board up windows and tarp roofs, or is that someone else?
For sound structural recovery, we do emergency board up and tarping as part of the water job, because leaving the building open costs you a second loss.
How do you know you found every place the water came in?
For sound structural recovery, we walk every elevation and the roof line and list each opening before drying starts.
Is storm water contaminated?
Across the affected building area, it depends on the path it took. As materials are evaluated, rain that came straight through a roof or window is clean water at first.
Can I clean up the storm water myself?
From the building building assessment, you can handle a small amount of clean rain on a hard floor. From the building building assessment, a shop vacuum handles about an inch and no more.
