Storm Damage Cleanup in Jonesboro

We handle storm damage cleanup across Jonesboro, 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. Storms here can also bring damaging wind. If your insurance company asks for a storm date, NWS Indianapolis keeps a list of past events.

Where Storm Water Ends Up

Homes near the Mississinewa River can see rising water after heavy rain. 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 Jonesboro, from Fairmont to the roads around Jonesboro Public Library and Westview Elementary School. We also handle storm damage in Hartford City, Fairmount, Upland and Marion.

Expert Storm Damage for Jonesboro Homeowners

Once the water drains out of a finished basement, the room looks like it's recovering, but the carpet pad is still saturated and the drywall keeps wicking moisture up the wall above the old waterline. The framing behind it dries slowest. Jonesboro Water Restoration measures all of it on storm calls in Jonesboro so you know what dried and what didn't.

Air tells a crew how fast materials can give up water. Jonesboro Water Restoration logs the temperature and relative humidity inside the drying area and outside it on each visit, and adjusts dehumidification when the numbers stall. On a rainy week in Jonesboro, those air readings explain why a wall is drying slowly and what to change.

Surface water jobs add a cleaning stage after the soaked material is out. Framing and concrete that stay get cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial before any drying equipment goes in. Crews work in protective gear, and the debris gets bagged where it comes out and carried straight out of the house.

Before wet carpet or insulation goes in a dumpster, ask your adjuster whether they want to see it. The crew photographs the material in place and records its type and amount, and a small sample can be set aside if the adjuster asks. Jonesboro Water Restoration lays out the removal list for your Jonesboro home so that conversation has facts behind it.

If a ceiling in your house is stained or sagging after a storm, call Jonesboro Water Restoration now. A crew dispatches to Jonesboro within 2 hours. Extraction, insulation removal, structural drying and the rebuild can all run through Jonesboro Water Restoration, with photos and readings tying each step together.

Our Process

How Jonesboro Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every Jonesboro job.

1

Moisture Mapping

Thermal imaging and penetrating meters cover every room under and beside the intrusion, plus baseline readings in unaffected areas of the same house. The map shows how far water tracked through framing and insulation, and it's what decides which surfaces get opened.

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

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.

5

Attic and Cavity Drying

Air movers aim at wet surfaces, dehumidification is sized to the containment volume, and negative air cavity drying runs through small ports where a ceiling or wall doesn't have to come down to dry. Humidity gets tracked inside and outside the drying area.

Common Questions

Storm Damage FAQ

Questions Jonesboro 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 Jonesboro home.
The inspection and the moisture readings are how the scope gets written, and any quote follows from them. A technician comes out, reads the affected materials and the unaffected baseline, photographs what's wet, and walks you through the readings, so you can decide whether to file a claim or handle the cost yourself. Emergency stabilization and extraction are billable work and get quoted before anyone starts on them. If you do file, the inspection photos and readings are yours to share with your insurance company.
The crew pauses to photograph the cavity and take readings, then shows you what was found. Any added work goes into a written change to the scope that you approve before it starts. Many insurance companies review added damage as a supplement to the original claim, so those photos and readings from your Jonesboro home matter. Your insurance company decides what's covered.
The S500 covers water damage restoration: assessing the water, removing what can't be saved, drying and verifying with readings. The S520 covers mold remediation, which comes into play when wet materials have already started growing mold. Jonesboro Water Restoration works to the S500 on storm jobs in Jonesboro and brings in the S520 when the inspection finds growth, and the readings tell you which one applies.
Because every rain event puts water back into the materials the crew just dried, and the readings start over from there. A temporary cover stops most of it, though wind driven rain can still work under the edges of a tarp on a damaged roof. Jonesboro Water Restoration keeps the cover inspected, documents any rewetting that happens, and builds the drying plan around the repair schedule. Getting the permanent repair booked early is the single thing that'll shorten the drying phase most on a storm loss.
Usually, yes. A Massachusetts Department of Public Health guide on water damage in buildings lists rain coming through a roof, walls, windows or doors as Category 1, clean water. The crew still checks what it ran through on the way in, like attic insulation and ceiling drywall, and anything that can't be dried comes out. Jonesboro Water Restoration photographs the entry point and the path the water took in your Jonesboro home, and those photos go in your photo report.
Yes. EPA guidance says mold can begin growing on damp materials within 24 to 48 hours, and a flooded basement has plenty of damp material for it, from carpet and pad to drywall and stored boxes. The faster the water comes out and the materials dry to baseline, the less chance growth has to start. Jonesboro Water Restoration works to the IICRC S500 for the drying and the S520 when growth is already present in your Jonesboro basement.
Stay on the stairs and call first, because standing water near outlets or the furnace can carry current and floodwater hides steps and debris. If the water is above the outlets, stay upstairs. Jonesboro Water Restoration can tell you what to check from the stairs in your Jonesboro home, and the crew assesses the electrical hazards before anyone wades in.
Air movers sound like a box fan and dehumidifiers add a steady hum, so the affected rooms are noisy for the first few days. The machines run around the clock because drying stops when they do. The crew spreads them across circuits so breakers don't trip. Light sleepers and pets often do better in a room away from the work in your Jonesboro home.
It matches or exceeds what came out, and the documentation is how that gets proven. Crews record the type, depth and square footage of the wet insulation before removal, so the replacement goes back at the same R value or better. If the attic was underinsulated to begin with, the technician will tell you and quote the upgrade separately, since that part is an upgrade and your policy may treat it differently. Depth gets recorded again after the install.
