Storm Damage Cleanup in Centennial

We handle storm damage cleanup across Centennial, from tarping the opening to drying the house underneath it, and we're out day or night.

Storms Here

Severe thunderstorms come through in spring and summer, and the occasional tornado comes with them. If your insurance company asks for a storm date, NWS Indianapolis keeps a list of past events.

Where Storm Water Ends Up

With full basements common here, a big storm can bring water in from below as well as through the roof. That makes it a basement flooding job too.

After a storm we can be anywhere in Centennial, including the roads around Centennial Cemetery and the Kingman-Millcreek Public Library. Nearby, we also dry out storm damage in Steam Corner, Yeddo, Kingman and Covington.

Expert Storm Damage for Centennial Homeowners

Two ceilings are stained, the hallway smells damp, and you've got no way to tell how far the water went after it came through the roof. That's normal for storm intrusion, because water follows framing and insulation sideways before it ever drops into a room. Centennial Water Restoration maps the whole affected area on Centennial storm losses with thermal imaging and penetrating meters, prices the work from what those readings show, and dispatches a crew within 2 hours.

Our crews take the damage photos, from the opening the storm made to every wet ceiling and soaked batt of insulation in your Centennial home. Centennial Water Restoration puts them in a photo report with the moisture readings and the list of removed materials. You keep it, and it's ready whenever you decide to talk with your insurance company.

Nothing comes out of your house without a reason you can see on paper. Technicians show the homeowner the readings behind each removal, walk the scope line by line, and get a signature before demolition starts. If hidden damage turns up once a ceiling's open, that gets documented as a scope change with its own photos, and you approve it before the work goes ahead.

Storm water claims turn on two questions, which are what opened the building and how far the water went. Centennial Water Restoration documents both from the first visit on Centennial jobs, with photos of the entry point before the tarp goes on, moisture readings by room, and a scope that follows those readings. You keep that record and decide with your insurance company how to use it.

Take a few photos of the wet areas, then call Centennial Water Restoration. The pictures show what the storm did before anything gets moved, and the crew adds moisture readings and a written scope for your Centennial home. You decide how to use that record with your insurance company.

Our Process

How Centennial Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every Centennial job.

1

Water Source Call

The crew checks where the water came in and what it touched on the way, and photographs the entry point. Floodwater that came in at grade gets containment and protective gear before any work starts.

2

Contents Protection

Furniture legs get blocked off wet flooring and small items move out of the water's reach, with photos taken of anything that shifts. Rugs and boxes in a flooded basement come up off the floor before extraction starts.

3

Water Extraction

Standing water gets pumped and extracted before there's any drying equipment in the room. Hard floors are squeegeed and extracted, saturated carpet pad is pulled, and carpet gets detached to reach the subfloor. Water that came in at grade also gets an antimicrobial treatment once the soaked material is out.

4

Wet Insulation Removal

Soaked batts and matted blown in get bagged out of the attic and the ceiling cavity, with type, depth and square footage recorded for the rebuild and for the claim. Wet insulation holds water against the ceiling board and loses its insulating value while it's wet.

5

Drying Equipment Setup

Air movers go where the mapping shows wet surfaces, and dehumidifiers get sized to the volume of the space being dried. Closed doors and poly sheeting seal off the drying area so the equipment works on the wet rooms only.

Common Questions

Storm Damage FAQ

Questions Centennial homeowners ask us about storm damage restoration.

The technician starts with a walk through with you: where the water showed up and which rooms it touched. Then the crew photographs the wet areas and takes baseline readings in dry rooms, and the moisture gets mapped with a thermal camera and meters. Extraction and drying equipment goes in after that mapping, so every machine sits where it's needed in your Centennial home.
The biggest factors are how much insulation got wet, how many rooms the water tracked into, whether it was clean coming in or picked up contamination on the way, and how long it sat before drying started. Of those, timing's the one a homeowner can still affect. A ceiling cavity caught in the first day or two often dries in place, while the same cavity after a week of sitting usually means demolition, disposal and a full rebuild. Equipment days also move the number, and those get set by how wet the materials read.
Photos and notes do most of the work. Look through your phone for pictures of the same rooms from before the storm, and tell the crew about any older stains or past leaks. Centennial Water Restoration photographs and reads those older marks separately in your Centennial home, so the record separates them from new storm damage. The adjuster decides how each one is handled.
Ask the company directly. It should be able to tell you what training its technicians have completed and whether they follow the IICRC S500 on water jobs. Ask to see moisture readings and photos from a past job with the customer's details removed, and ask who will actually be working in your Centennial home. A reliable company explains its method and documents it.
A technician returns daily to log moisture content at the same marked spots and compare it with the dry reference from your own house. The visit also lets the crew move or add equipment wherever a zone is lagging and catch problems early, such as a pump that stopped or a room that's rewetting. Once the readings match the reference, the visits end and the equipment comes out.
The crew looks at where the water came from and what it passed through, and at how long it has been sitting. The S500 sorts water into three categories, from clean sources to grossly contaminated ones, and a loss can be reclassified as conditions change. Centennial Water Restoration makes that call on the first visit to your Centennial home, writes it in the file and revisits it as the job runs.
Mold needs moisture, so bringing the materials back to dry readings within the first couple of days removes what it depends on. Drying alone can't remove growth that's already established, which is why the crew checks for it during the inspection. Centennial Water Restoration reads the materials in your Centennial home against the dry reference and keeps the equipment running until the numbers match.
Skip the roof. Wet decking after a storm is slippery, falls from a roof are a real risk, and a tarp installed wrong can channel water into the house. Centennial Water Restoration crews carry tarp and board up material and dispatch within 2 hours, so the gap's short. What helps from inside is containing the water, with a tote under the drip, towels at the edges and nobody standing under a ceiling that's bulging.
Air movers speed up evaporation by pushing air across wet surfaces, but all that moisture then sits in the room's air. Dehumidifiers pull it out of the air and drain it away, which lets the materials keep releasing water. Without them, humidity climbs and drying stalls. Centennial Water Restoration sizes the dehumidifiers to the volume of the drying area in your Centennial home and watches the air readings to confirm they're keeping up.
Yes. Once the readings reach the dry reference and the equipment is removed, the structure is stable and the repairs can follow your schedule and your insurance company's. Open wall cavities and removed flooring stay open until then, so ask the crew what to cover or keep clear in your Centennial home. The final readings and photos stay in your file whenever the repair work starts.
