Navigating Severe Storm Inundation in Houston
The Greater Houston area averages over 53 inches of rainfall annually, with major weather events capable of dropping 20 to 40 inches over a 72-hour period. Tropical storms, hurricanes, and severe convective cells frequently overwhelm municipal street drainage, causing water to pool into garages, living rooms, and ground-level facilities.
Unlike indoor plumbing leaks, stormwater runoff carries lawn fertilizers, oil residues, bacteria, and silty debris into your living space. Cleaning this requires specialized high-solids trash pumps, thorough antimicrobial wash-downs, and clinical sanitization before drying equipment can be powered on.
Our 4-Stage Storm Water Recovery Process
- Immediate Site Stabilization & Tarping: If storm winds damaged roofs or blew out windows, our crews secure roof tarps and board up exterior breaches to stop ongoing water entry.
- High-Capacity Flood Extraction: Removing standing floodwater and sediment using submersible trash pumps and truck-mounted vacuums.
- Precision Flood Cut Demolition: Removing water-damaged drywall and insulation exactly 12–24 inches above the waterline to expose wet wall cavities and prevent hidden mold proliferation.
- Biocidal Wash & Forced Air Dehumidification: Disinfecting framing studs with EPA-registered botanical sanitizers and running commercial desiccant dehumidifiers to lower moisture content to safe levels.
